HARMATTAN (Composed by me: Tobechukwu C. Okafor)
Oh, ferocious wind Blowing across the Sahara Dispersing far the cloudiness Thickening the light air
Oh, dry stuffy air Turning latecomer’s wash early Easying gully Nigerian roads Grazing our fields
Oh, smart dusty breeze Pushing insects to kiss pollens Swaying pollens to hug stigmas Ovaries feeding much
Oh, warm sunny fan Being so generous to all Causing unwanted wicked fire Spreading it like hell
Oh, unwanted friend Forcing us into countless wears Wringing man’s face of all water Licking his soft lips
Oh, ease up a bit Be thrift with your power o’er us Lest you meet reduced admirers When else you return

Poems rarely get moved to the front-page. Haven't you noticed? The moderators prefer to daily move old and stale pictures they call hilarious to moving a poem. I guess that's because the pictures rake in more traffic for them, anyway.
