Yesterday evening,

Boisterously.

Abruptly.

I saw him,

In a respectful salutations.

The man of great reputation.

A master of multi layer metaphor

Should be his sobriquet.

The author of "iconography poems"

One of the rampart

Where my writing flair is hide.

The books he gave me.

Wholeheartedly

To furnish and mould

My writing ability.

Which I consider as

One of evergreen gift he gave me.

The man that unveiled to me

The secret of great and renowned writer,

He always said.

"The best way to become good writer is to indulge in increasing and firm reading Vogue of living, those great writer has read crazily when they are young and that's why whatever they write is like burning Azazel gaze, like undisputed sabre strikes on heart's marble"

"Not only that, it furnish or polish your skills and language command"

While whenever he I remember this.

And augment my gut for reading.

He greeted both of us.

His friend warmly.

While shook my hand

As usual.

He conversing with his friend.

I was busy writing

On laptop.

He paused,

Abruptly,

called our attention.

Then asked earnestly.

"Where can I check my blood pressure?"

His friends suggested a clinic.

I better call it our clinic.

And told him to followed him.

For he didn't know the place.

We crossed the road.

He was astounded.

When he saw the clinic

Post board.

"Truly clinic is around here"

He said affirmatively.

We got there.

Entered.

And greeted doctor.

I told him what we came for

And he said.

"Go and check if for him now, abi why are you acting like visitor"

So, I checked it for him.

Very good result.

It's good to be poet.

I laughed.

We returned.

After few minutes of silence.

He asked his friend.

Smilingly.

"Is this how minkail write beside you, and in this cacophonic environment?" As he pointed at me.

I smiles

Then said.

"No"

His friends also took my back.

He laughed,

I laughed and we laughing.

He then continued

Amidst laughing.

"Do you know that very soon, you would see all what you have written and sneeze at it, because it will by then seems irritating, you will then asked yourself in disbelief that am I the one that write all this, how poorly would be your concern"

He covered his nose

Jocularly.

Describing how irritating it would be.

And we laughed it out.

That's aside,

Don't come and be disturbing me,

"For BP check up oooo."

Smiles.

Ogbomoso.
