An Okiti Pigeon Poem by Vincent Onyeche

Awful for worst, I gave the door a shove
Up in the sky I sighted a white dove
Flying from the eye of Ubulu kingdom
Okiti precisely, 'please don't be dumb'
She corrected and ended saying 'dove cries'
Flapping across my hearts beyond all lies
Wiping off disputes of warm hatred and fainted love...

That occupied the rooms meant for a mans ego
Frightened by no ex in form of an Eagle
She's a dove with or without a cove
Arhh! ! ! She cares so much about love
She's the unity of a kingdom
She has a sound like a fife and drum
And her soul has peace written on its shingles...

Peace in love and more to come...
Not only in the sky should thou roam
Come into my abode and troubled home
Paddle me into an ocean from my lake
Take my heart and bake me a cake
Cook all soups on the recipe book
With a face of fate, sing 'Chiamaka' from above.
