Emmanuel Aneto Poems

1.I get that often from you
Yes from you, YOU
You call me names
I take them for games
...

Up and down the Enyimba we skid
But before this ride
My bum bulk sits tight my side
I've made a map so wide
...

1.i na-ekwukarị ihe a
ejidela m gị imirikiti ugboro
ọ dị m k´ichefuola
chaii! Ama m n`ịmaghị mgbe i ji ekwu ya
...

1.The sky is pregnant
lightning pants and rants in the distant
as smokes billow, silent but gallant
while the vultures gallivant
...

Biafra biko bianụ!
Obodo ọma nke ụmụchineke
Ala Ihe ọma niile ekere eke
Ebe agaghi enwe ịkpa oke
...

Fussy minds gaga at this fuzzy quirk
Seems a pretty tingling tell to be told
Death in waterloo with a Jewish freak
what a peekaboo for babies breast old
...

Oh! why still grope at night
with the light to give you sight
though old but why so cold
to attain the holds of the old
...

Hip! Click! ! the world hops across my life’s track
tens of times pause crawling on cradle
tip toeing like some aged monks in their dark sack
yet stumbling rumble against flimsy hurdle
...

Gently it flows across the sea
Ripping trees and bending trunks
And tottering the clandestine creatures
That lay across the vast sea shores
...

Gently it flows across the sea
Ripping trees and bending trunks
And tottering the clandestine creatures
That lay across the vast sea shores
