Poetry |The Wall| by Jumoke O. Fagbayi

The foundation begins
The house is built
Wall is made to beautify the house
Without it, there will be no place to live
It is made wide and long
For it to be conducive

Poetry |The Cause Is Mine| by AbdulHafeez T. Oyewole

Anybody can talk anything
Anytime it pleases him
The clearer pictorial thing
To me is that it's Him
I have chosen my course
I have chosen my Faith
Which is never by force
Leave me with my faith
Anybody can speak in tongue

Poetry |The Bird| by Jumoke O. Fagbayi

A small creature with feathers
Lived in a little house
Lived in its little nest
Thought the earth was small and round

Made with a gifted voice
And had a good tone of voice
Which on the tree
She sang into my ears

The birds are wonderfully created
With the cloth of many colours
And their funnel pointed mouths
The birds are wonderfully created
And lovely to think about.

Poetry |The Loss| by Grace Bokpe


His death came unannounced,
As he laid on his back.
The soil on the ground bounced,
As he laid there in the park.

Poetry |With Him We Shall Stay Forever| by Grace Bokpe


How can he be compared to a sunflower,
When the sun is nowhere near his beauty?
His eyes are so pretty,
That sometimes I think he should take cover.
