I started writing poem when I was in secondary school, but I lost the zeal along the line.I regained the zeal recently and I am trying to regain the skill.I believe as I keep at it I will get there. 'The Ordeal of A Young Poet' is a poem about the challenges I faced as I try to stage a come back to world of writing.
Countless couple cut communication
Communication cut, cripples courtship
Continuous communication creates;
Captivating colourful courtship
...
I was of age before I got engaged
All I bargained for...
A marriage not a cage
A home not a dome
...
Colorless, multiple, miracle pieces of thread,
dropping down from a dark black cloud;
with a melodious touch on the roofs of men's dwelling.
Instantly turning into flowing water as it kisses the earth,
...
Africa
The continent with shape as a handgun
Facing down the sea
As if her problem is with the sea
...
