Faith Udoh Poems

ADOLF HITLER

Sometimes my heart lures me into falling in love with a traitor;
A man who single-handedly dished out evil to the world.
...

WHO I'M I?

Even the stars get tired of gussying up for the awards.
The queen of the night gets weary of blooming only at night.
...

It alters the water level;
Cripples victims with a roar;
Hypnotizes humans to act as its slave.
Its howl is carried through the night air,
...

Their minds are the loudest.
They are the most fun people in the world.
Everyone thinks they are silent-killers.
Oh How wrong they are!
...

Why do men never get tired?
I really want them to go through what our women do.
All they know how to do is plant seeds in our wombs.
...

Closer and closer it came;
It was getting bigger and bigger;
Soon it filled the sky above;
Was the moon falling?
...

Breakthrough!
Eyes of the ocean's crew,
Nuts tightened with a screw,
Fears of safety grew,
...

I heard the music as I entered the room,
But all that was there was a violin,
Laying helplessly on its back on the floor.
...

DARK DOG DAYS

Dark days
Are inevitable
