Oke’s Musings: Poetry, People and Places
Nnọọ * Welcome
A bag of emotion
Trapped with a cord
of many wires
Beating, thuding
Hoarding Wickey the
foe of Goody
Bridge to life and
abode of diss and bliss
Who could eat his?
Commentary
Okay, this is the second time Im publishing her. I find her work fascinating, the characters leaving and I think she has got messages to pass to the world. She is a good poet and friend and we do share ideas.
Wander-man, Tiger-man moves; sipping from different fountains overflowing with milk of life and death
He hops;
From Jagua Nana to
Annan Wanger
Never satisfied with his own wife and life
Hannah
Who
Kisses empty sheets
Droops and sags in
Jeans
Eating Bullshit
Wander-man, Bat-man
Fly!
While Hannah cries
High five!
Wine!
While Hannah dies
You tell her lies to cover up your crimes
Why?
Away with it wander-heart!
Retire so your palm won’t catch fire.
