I Wish To Write Poem by Blessing Asake

I will like to write the way
fish swim, I will make ocean
and sea my world, count on
day as night,
I will breath on earth once in
awhile.

I will like to write the way
lion roars, fear to cripple off
the heart, I will walk from genesis
to revelations of poetry,
my sounds will be full of
fear when I tear them.

I will like to write the way
birds fly, wings and wind will
be my motive,
I will write my stanzas on air,
I will dance for one hill to another
making my own nest of rhyme.

I will like to write the way
man lives, make poetry as
source of exchange, my
fear will be of losing my rhythm,
I will make my excitement
home for imaginations.
