Image Poem by Christopher Okiri

Image

Rating: 5.0


Sometimes you just want to punch the air
What victory is to be garnered there
Mining the hollow of mindlessness?

Shaking the stump of a hewed-down tree
Soon fall apples into your laps free
Than the whipped-thin emptiness

If it be a punch-bag which is with air filled
There's likelihood you'll be fulfilled
In your striking image and likeness
