Merry it is while summer lasts
with downing of hop-sips
Trees sway in their earthen cast
Sweets upon lips
Honey from wax combs drips
into the mouths of revelers vast
Sun rays fill hearts fast
Press play to hear the music
Bliss- Composed by Daveed

Thursday August 15, 2019- Poem of the Day
Truly humbled that these words of mine were chosen as Poem of the Day.
Many thanks to all those that read my poetry and comment.
Even if you read and don't comment.
My heart smiles knowing you have read thoughts from my heart.
NNEM AMAKA
Nnem amaka,
Nnem bu udala mmicha,
Ukwu nwanyi Owerri;
O bu ihe madu nile na eri.
Nnem bu ukwu nnu na mmanu anu.
Ezigbo nwayi oma na ala ezigbo,
Pino-pino nwa na ala igbo,
ukpara na eti mmanwu.
Obukwa kpakpandu elu igwe,
Utara dachiri olu umuokoro ma ha
Furu ya na anya nke ukwuu.
Nnem bu onwa na etiti na ala igbo,
Osuofia ezigbo na ala Nkporo.
Elu igwe nke ato ndi madu na
Ele anya ka nwa nke chukwu.
Nnem bu ude ocha, nnem amaka.
Nnem makarachara mmuo miri nma;
Pino-pino nwa na ezigbo.
