Best One Thousand Poems

One Thousand Goodbyes

Years ago
a stranger became a friend
with little time left
she let me into her reflections
her child and husband dead
tragedy would strike again
her time on earth 
would expire soon
her empty heart to be filled
in the heavens
she showed and told
her last wishes to me
a thousand poems
she...

We were accustomed to read one thousand 
And one night in Baghdad...
Tonight the glorious city-sky is sad,
It sounded bang! Bang 
Where is my mummy? Where is my dad?
Are they all alive under the cruise wreckage;
Or are they all dead?
The a ‘Rashid city was weeping,
It rained...

Goal Reached ~One Thousand Poems

Dropping by with a bottle of champagne.
Hoping you don't mind if I come in from the rain?

Wanted to thank my small, but grand group of followers.
I give each of you a bouquet of gorgeous, fragrant flowers.

I wanted to reach the goal...

we have lost the meteoric 
icy-blue, sky-fire 
above the heated planetary core 
of a thousand covered suns 
in the center of oblivion 

where confluence 
carries hope 
in warm symbiont souls 
and lambs 
wear ragged fleece - 
iconoclastic mediocrity 

reflective fables 
of future past history 
unlocked...

One Thousand Toilet Faces…..By Peter Onyancha
(The dichotomy of my country)

One thousand people sharing one toilet
Save the people! Just one more.
One thousand toilets sharing one person
Save the toilet? Just one more.
The toilet or the person
just one more!...

One thousand dead businessmen
Zombies of emotionless regimen
Sharply dressed
Black suit and tie, freshly pressed
Leather briefcases, to seem professional
This march of skeletons is quite exceptional

DECAY
Burst into dust and wither away
Corruption and greed let them die 
The next thousand corpse march includes you and I...

We must have passed one thousand times
it's what I remember, deep down in my mind
Each time we passed, I held back on words
Could she really like me?
the thought seemed absurd
For so many years, I've thought of these words
Ive sat in the darkness, my heart kept...

One thousand went to pray
I with them in the holy place
in deep meditation I fell asleep
only ten people I could see
still kneeling and lost in prayer

Scared I asked in silence,
“Where are the rest gone?
Why are we so few here?” 
The Almighty answered,
promptly from the sanctuary;...

One thousand naira
For one thousand dreams
One thousand hopes
Punctured by one thousand spears

For one thousand naira
One thousand faces
Queued up in one thousand war-ds

For one thousand reasons
One thousand holes grace our thatch-full thatches
Where endless rain and peeping sun cuddle our tattered
mats
One thousands holes rest upon our busy...

child,Two thousands 
two days,Says the 
greedy son,Your

treasures-Your 
stomach demanding for 
something;Spending two 
days in a day,How 
would you cope with the 
rest.     Campus ladies 
have taken you 
away,Just only...

She was bleeding, pierced and bruised 
To love she ran, but love refused 
With a thousand ugly scars on her heart 
Her smiles faded, her life fell apart 

He gave her a red rose 
As a sign of his love 
But the thorns pierced her...

one thousand at the eleventh hour

They come from afar
through seasons bitten by frost
across a mountain's pass deep in snow
shout they all, " holy holy save us god"
"wash our sins away, free us from the damned”.

they dip into our well for healing
catch each trembling drop upon
crying...
