I Am Poetry Poem by Anugo J. Edoka
I Am Poetry
How I got here I know not
In my childhood poetry I knew not
Like I have been possessed
With the spirit of poetry have I been accessed
A gift i never would have desired
A present I have so much acquired
This is who I now am
And poetry a weapon to my arm
Fighting my battle and war
Soothing my nerves like a whore
Mother would have never imagined
but this spirit is ever determined
With it have I walked the sea
Gave my eyes sight to see
The charms to have won a woman's heart
Magic to keep her love
And deft touch to smooth her rough
Poetry groomed me into a fine man
A great ole boy from unknown clan
Taught me to gaze
With hope in hopeless days
To stand up and not to cower
Even with restricted power
Hate poetry
Hate the soul of a thousand
Kill poetry
Kill the concubines of a dreaded husband
Poetry kills the life filled pain
My name is poetry, poetry is my name
I know not when I was born
I die every day and again reborn
I have lived forever and forever shall I live
A wonderful poetry.. Keep it up.. I would like you read my poem In the mid of the night depression you are killing me too. Naila
You are a poet that has succumbed to the power of words. Now, part of the universality you scream words and love to be heard. A wonderful poem that makes me proud to call you a fellow poet. Nay, a brother.+++++++++++++10 Robert
