Korede Abiodun Poems

There he goes
To and fro, to and fro,
Then cleared his throat.
'Ehhnn-ummm, huuummm, mmm-uhmm.
...

They have all they want
But lack, Content
ion
Like a crab timer.
...

The wind was very much rich
As much as the dark and thick cloud
Like a rug of the Persian Prince
Never a display that seems more proud
...

Last time I prayed;
I never knew what to say,
I went down on my knees
To mount a faith, yes I did.
...

The sun threw its rays in the day
Touched my nape but neglect to warm the Me.
Dewed it is now that its late
Too many of its ray I tend to feel.
...

So, I found it late,
My proper gratitude to Fate
And whatever, He is keeping me alive to this date,
For I am yet to be late
...

My friend- Richard Cory lacks appetite
Frown'd and hiss'd at the Turk's fat-thighs
The gods he spite which is rather impolite
He toppled the table sending the foods fly-high
...

Ever heard of Ciroma Chukwuma Adekunle?
That's sad bloke is such a failure!
Nothing less, nothing more.
He is yet to make his O'Level!
...

On my sorjourn to the Rhema
Then at first I learnt the truth
Only to use all my strenght
Reasoning and intellect to fight,
...

So I have heard
How men's precepts
And determination prevails
Over heavenly mandate
...

The sweet gods of the time and place,
This is my race across an age.
I leave these faces and my race
To an unknown land in relunctant pace.
...

You keep the dreams and I would stay awake.
Oh dear, embrace the day and I the night.
Flow forever and I would be a lake
In a dark nook. Be flooded with your light.
...

Precisely from the beginning of time
To the end of time.
From the Sunrise
To its set.
...

Labourer: O, Good Sir
The season favours and cloud gathers
I can tell, hell about to loose
And do us good.
...

Every cloud has a tale to tell
The church bell
The death of the Priest
The hour glass
...

16.

Storm in your lonesome heart and you might just cry
Tears as the rain-drops escaped just so you might cry

Mask and smile
...

When love comes along
When you find your heart
Only to refuse the urge to run
And then you got your heart broken
...

18.

I loved
Yes I know
I loved
Oh, no
...

I remember holding you
Just last september
We shadowed the earth
And watched the sun fade
...

Run, run, baby runaway, my charm don't fail;
Take to your heels,
I'm that tick-time bomb on self destruct;
Do not ask for promises, that I stop keeping and making.
...

Korede Abiodun Biography

So yesterday I gave my shoe to an aboki Hausa cobbler to mend two different faults needing attention and he said he'll do it. We never discussed price but I let him go ahead, he smiled generously and I thought he's very handsome and friendly. He must have read my mind as he begins to converse with me almost immediately and I was glad to keep his company while looking at my phone but then he started talking Politics. I was awwed at his expertise and accentuated fluency and paid more attention. He was very reasonable and told me everything wrong with Nigeria. Matter of fact he told me all Buhari and his cohort could have done better and I was convinced at the degree of his angle. I thought, 'here is a man that might aid Buhari and impact National greatness'. Minutes passed as seconds, we compare and contrast, I nodded I concurred. This Aboki knows Buhari's job! I mused. About 20 minutes after he was done with the mending but I said he wasn't. I have a complain here and there. He put in more work but I wasn't smiling this time. The Aboki that knows Buhari's Job better than him ruined my lucky shoe. He doesn't know his own Job! - @chiefohgram)

The Best Poem Of Korede Abiodun

Sanity Of The Ancient Hunters

There he goes
To and fro, to and fro,
Then cleared his throat.
'Ehhnn-ummm, huuummm, mmm-uhmm.

Olodumare, Good God, its twilight,
Sounds of birds, whispers of coming night.
The sun never sets and never rises;
Thank you for kins and belongings'

He rendered his panegyrics
Line by line, line by line,
Prostrates to the gods of the market
Giving thanks for the craft of his race

'Ogun, the god of the hunters,
Let me not be prey of an hunter.
Today I pray for my lover and the dream-time
I seek remedies not disasters'.

He gulps his gin
-Gargling with bulged chins
Ups, downs and side ways, ups, downs and sideways
Then spat to the altered ground.

'Vulcan, Blacksmith of the Heaven
One man weaponry of Seven Heavens
If you consider a fat sacrificial game as ideal
Let me not be another beings meal'

He hunched his back
Side by side, side by side
Immitating the steps of fair maiden with grace
Like a snake on vibrant display.

He sang: 'Ogun stays back and guard for us
Ogun stays back and guard for us
He who sent us hunting watches our home
Ogun stays back and guard for us'

He ventures ahead,
Step by step, step by step,
Into the forest to Gnomes, Gnomids and Jinns
All contained with, magical being.

'No fear
For I would not end up on pyre
But if the gourd tears
There will be more to my story:
Brave hunter in forbidden leir
