Canny Amah Poet I do not know?

Solid Impressions: Vii

(for: chinua achebe)

Part One

With gaiety and some pump
Forerunners, trumpeters
And the Gala came to us –

Varied voices, many eyes on faces
Swift to see the lapis lazuli
Nature’s gift to a forest:

(Teachers and teachees,
Authors, farmers and traders,
They came with songs;

Scholars and scholees,
Misters, mistresses and villagers,
They came with songs;

Lecturers and lecturees,
Drummers, dancers and clan-leaders,
They came with songs;

Professors and professees,
Pro-chancellors, chancellors and chair-holders,
They came with songs;

Governors and governees,
Business giants, dwarfs and hawkers,
They also came with songs!)
