Halt Thou Rain, Giv Us This Day! Poem by Chukwuebuka Adebayo

Ho halt, Halt thou graceless gushin` and
sleetin`,
The sunlit thus cryest to tour`bout and
forthshin`;
Meknows, Thou fallest withno but restrain,
Whileto sowest lives on creepin` narthêx
sittin`n Lain;
Watch, T`its swan, The cygnets hadst swum! ,
For kittens hadst curled in`em mater's warm;
Halt thou rain, Giv` us `Tis day!
B`thou courteous, whilst to be ev`n today;
Pray I thee, mine maiden toingforth home,
`Erself, She'd prayed unto lucks, `tis day or
some,
Hitherto I`Lone, yearnin`upon my pillow,
No tweets thither, O`sing throu`window,
O Come, Make come mine love at journey,
Abode, Am dyin' of `er affection nowt honey;
Ere, I brace thee, we busy couldest play Aztecs
balls!
Plantin' soft amarantos, draw it as patolli on
Walls;
Mefeels, Thine comeliness of `tis ram in thy
cleavage,
Wreath me, Spread thy hugs like thath glory in
tender foliage;
Halt thou Rain, Giv us `Tis day
Halt, For-on mine missy, thou canst pave a Way!
Harked I, Not titanic, Sea is thawin`; Iceberg
hadst frozen,
Jonah drivest `e ship; `S legless shipmates
albeit`re dozen;
Tellto her, Ne'er thou board the merchant`s
train!
Medelights, She ridest home i'a little speedy
wain
Halt thou Rain, Giv us `Tis day!
Or whilst I hearken of `er words she mayest
say!
Perchance, thou keepon thy fluents unbroken,
B`sure, Doth thou sprinkle those lavenders o`er
the garden;
A fresh drink `f ardor, Fill every jars to brim,
My mistress comesforth, Halt, I put the house as
knollin`and prim.
