Calabash Poems - Poems about Calabash

Harmony of Life's Calabash

In the calabash of life, 
a profound journey unfolds 
as the space
gracefully passes the baton 
in the art of apprenticeship. 
Success resonates like a fine chant, 
akin to the resonance of the four-lobed kola nut 
the water that flows, 
immersing its feet
into gin and tradition.


The apprentice, 
the Soldier's seed, 
navigates the delicate balance 
between the

Thoughts of a Calabash Tree

I was loving the sun, 
Not consciously doing anything
My gourds hanging sweetly,
Too big to move much
Dancing with internal mirth 
Because I was being picked today
It is always a relief to a calabash 
When the pickers arrive
I heard laughter and stood a bit taller
Glad I could see farther than bushes
But no one showed, so I knew

A Tardy Tear On a Beer Calabash

So much noise and blindness in fast lanes of lives we lead
When ears can’t hear
Eyes to see plead
And to our destiny we draw both far and near 

Dreading to love
Longing to hurt
Fearing to fly on wings of a white dove
And nonsense and gibberish in overdose we blurt

Challenging norms without pause
Closing ears and eyes when convenience

Few are sweet and always desirable
For either case there is no foretaste

A Broken Calabash

A Broken Calabash

Dear proposal thank thee for thy  courage
Thank thee for thy care 
And also I thank you for thy love
Although I am sorry
Thy heart is too spacious for my love
My love is too tiny for thy heart
Countless time I have loved
  Loved
Loved, loved a heart
Countless time I fallen
    

Breeding Fish In Calabash of Beer

A farmer in my location I am
Wise and knowledgeable I innovate
Today I grow fish in calabash of beer
They are happy swimming, eating

Aquarium of beer is natural home
My fish grows fat and foolish daily
And when I harvest for meals and sale
My fingers and arms they bite not

I want all farmers to imitate me
This is a good

Dangling Calabash

Two calabashes of milk
loaded ready for pleasure
dangling as ripe paw paws
swollen as tortured frog
are within immediate reach
I ask for a pint to remove thirst
but she tells me in the face
“You have hard brown teeth
your stomach is for bones
this milk is for the toothless
and those with tube stomach
go ask my father and mother
get permission from God
as

Empty Calabash

Silence stormed the house
As he entered with empty calabash
With its mouth facing the ground
And he could tell from the faces
Unanswerable stream of questions
Of those gathered to scoop soup
Whoever washed his feet at dawn;
Cleaned the face with calabash water
To pay visit to the sage’s kraal
And came back with empty calabash
With hands dangling like bull’s tail
Closed ancestors’

Goodnight Mrs Calabash

Goodnight Mrs Calabash

I hope to see you again real soon
the time we spend together makes me smile
I try to keep it very simple with her
but I am in love with her all the while

it's just that I respected her man
he was a good friend of mine
and he only passed away barely a year
but I dream
