Babatunde T Ogunsiku Poet Free verse

The African Attire

Borne 
from 
the 
heart
Of 
Africa
An 
attire
Unique 
in 
design
With 
a 
fashion
Made 
from 
a 
version
The 
fraction
Of 
a 
nation
With 
a 
vision
An 
inscription
Of 
passion
Not 
a 
notion
But 
an 
unction
To 
provide 
wears
With 
favourable 
colours
And 
a 
flavour 
To 
savour
Being 
created
From 
a 
fabric
Slick 
and 
meek
Not 
from 
the 
attic
But
From 
the 
Latin 
word
"PULCHER" 
meaning 
BEAUTIFUL
