Umar Kakamu Aliyu Poet Free verse

Found Favour

My classmates were all ahead of me
Adult i was, their ears is sharper than my 
  I lost old words to adapt the next in try
         Then I found favour in poetry 
        Poetry favour is far ahead of me
 Adult I was, its rhyme is sharper than my
     I lost older poem to adapt the next
    Then I found favour in famous poets
           Poets were far ahead of me
       Adult I was, they own the poems 
      I lost their older poems for the new
  Then I found out, the poets were all dead
        I read their poems at times at loud
 At times silently to quench my loneliness.
