A Brook Speaks Poem by Oluwaseun Ogunbiyi
A Brook Speaks
These waters speak to me
Words of wisdom in gentle tides,
Clashing its tail unto shore,
These waters speak to me...
Spare mine ears
Despise your words
Unknown to me
For i bear not this stranger
Conversing with me.
I blame thee not
Neither me,
Naive as a child,
A slave of nature.
Forgive my tender knowledge,
I hear thee not...
Perceive with mine spirit
Nigh to thee
Words of wisdom that thou speaketh,
May it be revealed unto me
For thou remainst a brook
And i a being.

Hi! I’m Eddie Roa and I just got in to this website. By chance I came across your name in the list of poets and read some of your works. Good writes. I have posted some of my poems today and a few days ago.. My style ranges from light to dark poetry (modern enough but not postmodern) and some Japanese verse forms like haiku, senryu and tanka. I hope you will bother to check out my work. Thanks and happy writing.
