Oliver Mbamara | African Poet
https://africanpoet.wordpress.com/2009/02/12/oliver-mbamara
I am like Orji, the iroko tree. I have seen winds and waves. I have stood the storms and thunder,. Yet, at my feet lies Onu-iyi-ama. The little lovely lake of spring,. Where sits a swimming pool for kids. Everyday, I see kids come and go,. Happy that they can swim and play. I am like Duru-ejowe’s rock, yes! I am like the rock of Gibraltar. I have seen the harshest weathers. And the wildest beasts of the jungle,. Yet, at my feet flows the cleanest water,. And everyday, many in need do come,.

I looked up the sky, and there she stood,. A new phase of the ever smiling moon,. With a gorgeous charm she gladly glowed. Wearing her crescent in a concave curve,. Reminding all again of her newness come,. And that life has come to another curve. I reviewed my wishes and counted my blessings,. And then I resolved as I prayed by wishes made,. To be guided again like the curving moon,. So when the convex meets the concave curve,. To complete the cycle for another full moon,. Blog at WordPress.com.

Toris Okotie | African Poet
https://africanpoet.wordpress.com/2009/02/12/hello-world
So young in heart. He cried for milk. So poor and helpless. Mama weeps in pain. His eyes so red. A week he cried. A month ago,. To the world he came. They lay their heads. In storm and rain. They search for food. Through man and sex. Mama fed him well. The days went by. Only five months old. In rain and cold. He cried so loud. In sun and heat. He wept and wept. Three days gone by. And now he sleeps. To meet with mama. Filed under: Toris Okotie. Create a free website or blog at WordPress.com.
Emeka Azuine | African Poet
https://africanpoet.wordpress.com/2009/02/12/emeka-azuine
My ancestors taught you. You refused the counsel of the wise. What new knowledge will I teach you. As I do not breed Solomon’s blood? Learn this song I sing. Never let it slip like rain and moon. Look and see your children cry. As burdens of hunger suck them dry. Hear and see them writhe. In agonies of disharmony they fry. As wars rip their skulls. So in grief and weary do my heart bleed. Thus will my ancestors and I bleed. Till you rid your camps of manless men. Whose spirits paddle our lives.
