Akeem Alawoki Biography

I was born and bred in Lagos, Nigeria, into a peaceful family of Mr and Mrs Alawoki on March 17,1993. I read Mass Communication in Yaba College of Technology. Although I have known literature all my life, I fell in love with poetry in 2005, after I got introduced to the rudiments of poetry and prose.)

The Best Poem Of Akeem Alawoki

A Slumbering Tree

Under the blue sky,
Under the puffy clouds,
Under the shinning disc,
There in hot breeze
Sits an humble tree
Having a tranquil slumber

His head nods
To the banters of the passing wind
And the pleasure of his afternoon sleep
A man feeds a grunting tire
A lorry-man honks
The feeding machine cries aloud
The lorry-man honks
The slumbering tree nods still
To cries of running steel

Under the blue sky,
Under the puffy clouds,
Under the shinning disc,
There in hot breeze
Rests a calm wood -
Reeking of sagacity
Donning an aura of victory
Whispering:
'Your troubles didn't get to me! '
