Lesson Learnt Poem by Hannington Mumo

Lesson Learnt

Rating: 5.0


A sharp wave of breeze
Pierces through the dust-laden louvers;
On my face I feel blood begin to freeze,
Over it a cloud of pain lazily hovers.


Prudent men do learn,
From mistakes experience they earn
Out of soft and tough times;
Just as I who pens these mellifluous rhymes!

Pretty well the heavenly jury knows
That I’ve had enough of these woes;
And I hereby earnestly journey
To Canaan that gleams with milk and honey!

Very insightful read Sir Hannington. I liked the way you concluded by saying And I hereby earnestly journey, To Canaan that gleams with milk and honey! .
