Uche Favour Poems

The owls hoot nearby;

The screech-owl calls;
...

Lost in your cold cold arms

Yet your manliness endears me to you
...

MY SISTERS

I have five sisters who are great
...

There are days that I feel like I would die

So sore afraid in bed I would lie
...

I am black and referred to as a negro

Maybe it's the fault of my genotype
...

Everyone desires to be something
Each desires embedded with wanting
These wants may be good or bad
Surely these makes up a lad
...

The morning dews seem to consume me

I know not what the day holds in store
...

I sit there staring straight at it

Watching it disappear
...

When I gaze at the world
Am amazed by what I see
I wonder how the earth came to be
I wonder how everything in it was spoken to life
...

I could hear music

But I didn't know what type of music
...
