At The Worship Of Poetry Poem by Joseph Oladehinde Ibikunle
At The Worship Of Poetry
Thou, who hath the spirit of poetry;
Unto thee today I bow to call
To the service and worship of poetry.
I entreat and bid thee to my call.
.
I rebuke thee, ghosts of Marine;
I reject thee, clans of the forest;
I say nay to defiled souls unseen!
To the worship of my fairest.
.
I call thee who hath the call from divine,
Like Whiteman and Allan Poe,
Come worship at this holy shrine.
Likes of Shoyinka, Clark and Li Po.
.
Like the poems of King David,
Wisdom like that of His Son,
To pen rhetoric lines so splendid.
Thy zeal in me is inborn.
.
Lo! Thy zeal in me is inborn,
Thy call written on mine own palms.
It cleaneth not thereof - I am a son
- son of words - and lines that rhyme.
Son of lines and rhymes. Great lines. Keep writing and give honours to the asiwajus in poetry
A solid write. Check out a few of my poems.....start with on Poetry. Among these poems you'll find many styles, many subjects, much spirituality and many truths. Best wishes to you and yours in the coming New Year.
That is a nice output and a well penned call to the shrine of olympus words.
Your concept is very ok. And you tried very well to keep the lines rhyming. It's hard to find poets that keep their lines rhythmically. You need to check this out though: 'like the poems or poetry of king David'. Keep writing my man. Practice makes perfect.
