Wole Soyinka did one - but I guess you know that already. Search the poems link above the list of threads in Literature; you might find one. |

Apart from Wole Soyinka, John Pepper Clark also wrote on Abiku. Would Have senr both to you but can't start typing it now. When am able to scan it, i will paste it for you. Both work is a master piece. it a way of anglicising the nigerian languages and showcasing our philosophy and belief to the world. I did English Literature in the University so am aquainted with literary works. Takia |

hi, am guessin dat u want poems on Abiku, so here goes, the only ones i know dat are popular are d ones written by Wole soyinka and John Pepper clark. Abiku. J.P. Clark Coming and going these several seasons, do stay out on the baobab tree follow where you please your kindred spirits if indoors is not enough for you. true, it leaks through the thatch when flood brim the banks, and the bats and the owls often tear in at night through the eaves and at harmattan, the bamboo walls are ready tinder for the fire that dries the fresh fish up on the rack. still, its been the healthy stock to several fingers, to many more will be who reach to the sun. no longer bestride the threshold but step in and stay for good. we know the knife scars serrating down your back and front like beak of the sword-fish and both of your ears notched as a bondsman of this house are all relics of your first comings. then step in, step in and stay for her body is tired tired, her milk going sour where many more mouths gladden the heart. that's the first, too tired to type d other, guess dis would have to do 4 now |
