'Makes their house look dull, The colour is blurry'. For anybody that visits the border, most especially a foreigner, there is no doubt that the country will be as a boring and poor as those securing it. Irrespective of the facts that, beautiful people are living there.

'Because there was no paint to Furnish'. What can a poor nation do with no financing power? There's just no finance to booster the border materials. They really want to use the latest technology too, but there's no means for that.

'Its scary look is frightening'. The border's gate and the customs were outdated. The design of the border is just too old. They look disgusting.

'As we move closer in the evening'. When the poet is at the border, he takes a closer look to be sure if it's a worthy border or not.

'Our neighbour's crooked door'. The border's gate and the customs were outdated, in a style used over 50 decades ago. Imagine how unworthy the door look.

'Made from a woody stem, joined with patches to keep it firm'. Imagine a border made of old wooden materials of over 50 decades old? The guards uniforms and the gate of the border looked dirty. Imagine if border patrol men wear ragged uniforms. What kind of image does it present?

POEM TO STUDY:

Now, to Harlos Poem. Just like Yuzjet's poem, that was written about household objects (The light Bulb), Harlos used a door as his household object. His poem read thus:

The Door:

Its scary look is frightening
as we move closer in evening
our neighbour's crooked door
made from a woody stem
joined with patches to keep it firm
makes their house look dull
the color is blurry
because there was no paint to furnish
the door makes excessive sound
as he bangs with full force
we laugh and joke at it
in the morning as we go to school
we dare not do such on our way back at noon
our mother warned against our act
as our neighbour is a nice man.

INTRODUCTION:
Beginning to write a poetry is a process of learning to look at the world differently. To be able to construct vivid, believable narratives when using an object in poetry, a poet needs to develop a sharp eye for the details in the world around then, details that are often easy to miss in the hustle and bustle of everyday living.

The creative aspects of a poem are the point at which theme and the poetic devices begin to take on their shape, where the poem starts to come alive in the mind of the reader. It is here, in the cement of a text that a poem will stand or fall. It is not just any theme a poet looks for when using an object, it is the theme and the poetic devices that must of course be ONE.

Speaking personally, one of the delights of writing and reading poetry has been the way it enriches my experience of sensual world, alerting me to things that would otherwise go unobserved. For me every poem is an act of retrieval, an attempt to record the transient. So now, in signing out of the class, good night.

as poets, we value words, we see them as our coins, our codes, our symbols etc, it is only a poets that can derive another theme from your poem. When my partner was writing this, he had one thing in mind, 'the bulb'. But as a poet, we must learn to look at other poets' work with different eyes.
Seconded

'For the beautiful light has come'. Yes again, after years of independent, Nigeria now is the most populous black nation in the world, the number 1 fastest growing economy in Africa, Nigeria has done very well in making herself known in all the corners of the world. Her citizens are flourishing in every continent.


As we said, using objects in poetry add themes to your poems. Can we relate to this message from this poem now?

'Like the inside grave of hell bound sinner'. Imagine how the inside grave of a terrorists would look like or an evil doers? So, most people of this nation has been living in reference to that. Keeping their hopes alive that one day, there will be freedom, there'll be light at the very end of this tunnel.

'Show courtesy to science'. The attainment of Independent was enough to bring freedom and the practice of our culture and tradition. But this independent was engined by God. So, all praise and glory to God. As God himself is Omni-Science and Omni-Presence. Show respect to God by stopping corruption and some evil doings as it stopped the colony masters from using us as slaves.

The analysis could go thus:
'As the darkness flow into the world'. This darkness can be bad leaders (Colonial Masters) invading to a nation (Taking Nigeria as an example), like when we were striving for independence'

'For the disappearance of a fount wide ray'. The disappearance of the white in our country, we were considered black, so the darkness is favourable and sweet. We have our genuine and luxurious culture in varieties and they suits us as they are.

From the individual poems written from the last class where members were asked to choose from the selection of household objects which included light bulb, scary, spoon, pepper grinder, door. etc.

Using objects in poetry can make your poem sounds more interesting as the object could give the poem more theme, for instance, we will be discussing Yuzjet and Harlos's poem in today's class.
