Ekeh Peace Udochukwu is a reader, writer, and economist. She is from Isu LGA, Imo State, Nigeria. The third child and second daughter of four, she is a woman of integrity, diligent and creative.
She believes poem writing is not 'pick a pen and go'.She believes it's more like gathering a bit of life (thinking, imagination, experience, wisdom) and letting all of these things collide on a page. That's why the best ones are lived-in, instead of manufactured.
She believes memory + craft + honesty is what gives a poem its weight. Always Happy and social, yet at peace alone, she writes to pull out the best in people and bring peace to troubled minds.
I'm no saint—only human, weaknesses showing,
I sin without noticing, imperfect, still growing.
I won't wear a mask so you see me clean;
I'd rather be real than act like a screen.

She wears a dress, a whispered shame,
A church girl lost, a faith to reclaim.
Today's praise, tomorrow's doubt,
But who's to say what's real, what's without?
...
This is love — they call it lust sometimes,
But you can't love a face you don't desire, no lies.
Some say love is fake, some say it's true,
While others swear it died — I ask, what about you?
