Food For A Poet Poem by Tony Adah

Food For A Poet

Rating: 3.0


To listen to the owl songs
Means an omen is hanging on a tree
Will a bachelor travel?
Who will stock his fire?
A quarrel is golden
And silence is deaf
Argue with a fool
And fight the wise
With your brain
You shoot him down
Without the sound of a gun
When the lion steal the years
Of others
He begins to feed on snails
I won't have a load of elephant
On my head
And stumble to catch an ant.
