Jude Ogunade Poems

FLY, BUTTERFLY!
Lone among bevies
As each take turns
Having fun
...

FAVOURED FLOWER
Favoured flowers are plenty,
Always glowing in beauty.
Various petals, too many;
...

A Brag…A Jest!
(A politician's whispering)

I went to the store,
...

My sleep refused to come!
Your memories woke up my mind.
I stayed still on the bed,
I stayed still like a little pet.
...

Gba! Gbo! Gba! Gbo!
The voice I heard,
Gba! Gbo! Gba! Gbo!
From where I trod,
...

Aren't you the sun!
Face like the fire,
Raging behind,
Colouring Clothes.
...

A beauty without stain
Honesty without fain
A fine face which will wane
Only in useful art!
...

I woke grudgingly, upon my thought.
He woke me and had me taught.
I found His questions, questionable.
And my 'answers': unanswerable.
...

Gazing into your photo,
Love is what I see.
Seeing you in toto,
Yet sober I choose to be.
...

As I lay myself on my back,
As I keep count of the stars,
Alone, along a lonely beach,
Heaven surely has a lot to teach.
...
