Genesis And Metamorphosis (Ignore To Ignore) Poem by Tony-Cemaluk Egbuonu

The reception, really receptive,
As marketing public relation, was repetitive,
To be solely so; so the trick was to ignore all,
As an ignorant, even the sonorous singing ringing tone,
Balancing business before ballroom lullaby;
Buying time for dancing duel decision.

Even as time till evening turned out dear
For apologies not demanded,
So, ignore to ignore or to be ignorant and negotiate.

Done, the Receptionist recoiled and ran;
Then, the taunting, haunting hunt.
Hunted, happily hopping and hunter,
Hot hunting, hooting and shooting,
Like infant game with infant gun,
Unlike this, intent on not hurting the game before the end,
So abrupt, of genesis.

Ways parted in a mesh,
As braid of a black-toned beauty,
Seeds sown deep in damp soil sprouted,
Watered by distant deep tone,
Living, though, in limbo before a coming,
Going and another coming for metamorphosis.

Teacher and the taught tangled in tutorial time tussle;
The taught for weeks, the teacher for months opted.
Time bought was sold for show of strength,
Of stallion and willow,
Before explosive eruptions,
Scattered separation,
And pangful pains of piercing stones,
Like stone swords, swallowed for expansive exploration,
Consolidated contraction,
And waning weeping of weeping willow.
