Voices In the Night

What a gathering! I was puzzled by the crowd 'Close the doors and windows' said an old man seated on a wood 'The ancestors want to meet the widows' Two young men poured out the libation Just to make peace with the departed And for love to return to the nation A woman with azure attire in the moonlight Brought a horn of milk from the night The old man sipped the liquor and spat out At the elders seated around and about He touched every youth's head to bless And hoped it would bring bliss

Kipkirui Mitey, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
