Serena Eyo Poems

We are a people from the river
So you do not withhold seafood
From greasing our hungry plates
And giving us savoury taste
...

I have seen an avid architect
Who crafted the world
Placing diamonds and gold in the night sky,
The silver in the day sky,
...

After years of my hound
A spectacular flower I found
Of a certain town
And a lineage renown
...

A bow in the silver lining of the cloud
Adding a touch of glamorous colours
Of red, green, orange, yellow, blue, violet, indigo
My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky
...

5.

I have searched for you in the moon
And in the breeze so cool
In the sun scorching,
In the rain thundering,
...

The Best Poem Of Serena Eyo

Cross River My River

We are a people from the river
So you do not withhold seafood
From greasing our hungry plates
And giving us savoury taste
As our fathers deploy nets and bamboos
To court fish for the fire at home

Our people paddle their boat
To the centre of your being, and made boast
About the day’s catch, snatched from you
But you do not rage and swallow them up
For the way they gloat

Oh! Sweet Pretty River
You flow to nourish our land like Eden
And supplyfruits and vegetables at no price
To you we owe our home called Paradise
A place flowing with milk and honey
For which we did not pay a penny

Cross River, my pretty river
Mother of all goodness and blessedness I hail
No name would have been better
Than the one you gave a people
Cross River, my pretty river I hail
