Best Folk Song Poems

Amadioha the great god of Thunder and Justice
We have gathered at the shrine of Alusi’gwe 
To pour libations to you

Give me the udu,...

Where should I go and just how far
When I am playing on a great guitar?
Up and down its very illusive neck
Before I soon become a total wreck.

Like no one else should try to be around
Along with me and...

Don't stomp on flowers

In the shadows stood a figure
Taller than the diggers
Picking diamonds in the mines
Don't worry now I will be fine

Amazin’ grace is shinin’ down on me.
I must be doin’ somethin’… 
A warbler’s singin’ in a hawthorn tree.
Oh yeah, I must be doin’ somethin’ right.

As the clouds above me go their merry way.

There’s truth and beauty in a dandelion.
I must...

Who made hell of your life?

Or...

The fowl in the air bnb, giggles,
as it scans for exfoliant fish to delicate.
She put her order in over thirty minutes ago.
Well before the Cranes and the Eagles,
but...

Joe Biden is a gambler
He’s got rune stones in his shoes
When he steps up to the table
He believes that he can’t lose
So, he places bets without speaking
Using head fakes left then right
And underwhelms us all each morning,
‘Keeps us sleepless every night.

But there is no need...
