BELLO BIDEMI Poems

Sunny summer Sunday in the tropics yippee!
Here Brazil's smell sweetest. Gay's feel brightest
Nature and frolic twist's untamed
Content and delight's well enlaced
...

"....Dan Dun Din" Aduke Arelewa rolls the talking drum

Dark as an ackee nut, beauty at peak, juicy as plum
...

Christ this Christmas you descend
For love God thou bestowed on we
To live amidst, to lead to bliss
God amongst men?   Birth in manger?
...

Rome was not built in a day I hear
Paris no doubt either judging now by sight 
See Paris and die they say
In peace surely I'd rest finally in view
...

To pay homage to Father Flair
Faithfuls gathered from afar and near
It was an ambiance blue as glum
A good Friday in evening of June
...

Her beauty only they saw
But never the pain behind
Her makeup made up not the anguish
Neither did the liquor
...

Dawn to dusk
I toiled with ardent zeal
Drudging as lowly peasants
East and west of field
...

There, rattle rumble as reptile in deep pain
Lightning thunder sparking through the curtain main
Gaily children screaming heartily in great fain
Hopping and running the windy dusty lane
...

There was a bear
Who was mild and dear
He told all - "Be fair and dear! "
The hostile and mean he'd bear
...

For ease and please where's to quest?
Home for sure if put to test
Solace we sought we long for rest
East or west home is best
...
