Kingsley Ukpanyang Poems

Although they say
My future is bleak
I believe, one day
I shall have what I seek.
...

I thought you were the sun goddess

when I first beheld your charming radiance;
...

The Lord cannot be seen
but can be found.
Though He sits above the sky
and the stars abound,
...

For the families of those that
died in the man's acts of
violence,
I offer to you my deepest
...

Jay
Crested, jazzy
Singing, zinging, ling'ring
Really ecstatic
...

I dug my grudges from my trove
And stowed it in a chest.
Off I heaved to the west,
Fluttering my wings of love;
...

The sleep of a laboring man is
sweet,
But a lazy man's slumber is his greatest feat.
...

The new day's like a fresh new page.
I stride to school, bearing my bag
Passers-by pass me by
On the snaky lane
...
