Hi guys,I'm an avid reader of this section of nairaland and I've been inspired by some people's work here . This caused me to take the bold step of penning some words down though I'm quite new to it .
I would like my poems to be reviewed and any constructive criticism is welcome. .Thank you in advance.

Here we go -

Stench of Divorce

Man and woman two in love
A day set , the lady on gloves
Vows exchanged , faces in curve
All before the one above

Honeymoon trip days of bliss
Had them share more than a kiss
Family and friends none they miss
'Cause their union was one of peace

Marriage years down the lane
Boy and girl got added to train
Mum, dad ,Richard and Jane
Enviable family devoid of stain

All of a sudden,instant of an hour
The good marriage began to go sour
Mum curses, dad raises hammer
Kids scram -an escape from the whole drama

Cheating starts misunderstanding reinforced
All these cause things to get worse
Left to wonder if the marriage was forced
As it all ends in a bitter divorce

Melancholy cry

Pain in my marrow
My heart is filled with sorrow
Anytime I think of tomorrow
I want to escape to a burrow.


Friends in coma
Families in trauma

Why can't life be like summer
When happy moments are no brainstormer
Bright, full of joy and much gleamer
But reality says I'm a daydreamer


Is there really hope for the future
Assurance for generations not yet in the picture
For we refute words of the scripture
Yet bow to worship a sculpture

We revel in man's torture
To leave a legacy without structure
The cord of love that unite us ruptures
what we have ,a world full of punctures


Maybe what we need is a capture
A launch into the realm of rapture
Perhaps that would provide a lasting departure
From this uncanny distemperature

Life
I say is a book of open file
Each page turned gives a pile
Of shit or a well thought style
Journey made through each mile
Can leave one thrilled or up in rile

We live in a world full of vices
Wicked people using evil devices
To make artifice that entices
Deceiving both experienced and novices
To what end-to leave in crisis

Whether female or male
Each has got a tale
Some fresh others stale
Of struggles that have left them frail
Or strong like a gale

My inspiration

When asked for my inspiration
I tried to give a vivid description
Of my father , maker of all creation
Alpha and omega, owner of all nations

His son was sent down for crucifixion
Made to suffer a great tribulation
His persecution had no justification
Yet he endured for my salvation

With him there's no probation
In him, I have no condemnation
To him I give all adoration
His word I will share for propagation

My heart is filled with much exaltation
To one who's deserving in all ramifications
So I write these words of appreciation
To the lord, my inspiration

CHILDHOOD

The way we ran helter skelter
When we heard rain splatter
Searching for a place of shelter
With feet making pitty patter

On our lips were a thousand questions
We wanted answered without hesitation
With full spirit of inquisition
Asking for proverb interpretations

For demands of sweet and candy
We had an ally in daddy
That ofcourse was when he came in handy
Otherwise mummy remained our best buddy

With stomach full and round
We play na.ked in the compound
Jumping with peers on playground
Oblivious of adults around

Our first day at school
I remember was not at all cool
As our tears and drools
Could well fill a pool

Who could blame we little ones
Who left our mothers not for once
Despite how father warns
"Your clinginess'd make you a dunce"

With much fun and even more food
Everything looked and felt so good
As I recall those days of happy mood
I can't help but miss my childhood

REAL MAN

Sometimes I see guys
Who claim to be so macho
Burning brimstone in their eyes
Left a match,they have no show

Sometimes I watch boys
Say to people,''we're men''
Yet treat women like toys
And still act like they're ten

Sometimes I hear males
Boast about their manhood
Girls humped make their list of tales
With wife they are never in the mood

Many times I ask myself
Who really is a man
He's one who is not all about self
As his family's happiness top his plan

My Picture Your Treasure

All you want is a picture
I know to you is a treasure
Unable I to give b'cs of this fixture
For my bed has caused me a seizure
To it I'm bound like a suture
Glowering with great discomfiture
One I can't give an accurate measure
I hope you don't see this as a literature
Written to avoid a photo capture
For I promise to take one in my leisure
Tomorrow closeby when not under pressure
As you know it's always my pleasure
To have you gaze at my denture
