RIP Junior Pope

R.I.P JUNIOR POPE ~~~~~~~~~ In sombre silence & mournful melody, A threnody for one who passed on sadly, Who lost his life without a life jacket, Crashed without precaution on a speedboat.4 We pour a drink for a dream drenched in death Frail fragrance of a sojourned soul loses strength. Nollywood's noble, Junior Odonwodo Pope, A shining star silenced, sadly stripped of his scope.8 Anonymous whispers of woe, warning winds did blow, March 2nd marked the premonition's dreadful shadow show. March's mournful melody mocks his mortal march, Making many mouths murmur so much.¹² Acting admirably, Anonymous's alarm is amply announced. As Pope's hopes drop, the ability to live denounced.¹4 Cautioning the boat rider like a fellow bro, His spirit knew what his mind didn't know. April 11th, a prey of death was dealt a death blow, Sowing hard work, he reaped death's hard luck, While boat cruising off set, in slip sec, death struck.¹? Solmen sorrowful song surrounds the silent stage, Junior's jubilant jests gone, setting sun on his age. Mourning fans murmur, memories merging with mist, All actors, actresses & artists agitate, Marvellous moments now memories, sorely missed.²4 Echoes of excellence extinguished too soon, The Anonymous augured this darkening doom. Pope's journey concludes, curtains cascade in quietly, His legacy lingers in love, loss, and slightly.²8 VICK MANUEL POETRY {VMP} FORM: Alliteration/Rhymes Copyright ©?April 2024.
