Early Morning Poem by Tony Adah

Early Morning

Rating: 5.0


From the hills of the east
the sun unmasked the dusk
Through the window the tree stood still
waiting for the wind
From a kitchen beside the house
A mortar sings by the instructions of the pestle
The world is reborn
for fresh activities and a cutlass
laughed on the whetstone
Today the world is born
Again into toils
When man rest no more
Looking for what to fill a void
In his stomach.

A mortar sings by the instructions of the pestle The world is reborn for fresh activities and a cutlass laughed on the whetstone I LOVE IT.
