My Neighbour Poem by akachukwu chukwuemeka ( akabeks)

My Neighbour



I have a Youngman neighbour,
A retired criminal full of love.
Natural or artificharm, I cannot tell.

Like most men in love,
He’s a fool…
To his wife, he will boast about his days in prison,
Awaiting trial…

He’s wife is an acid-tongued virago,
Always talking about fights her husband fought
In the market place,
Always talking about charms and voodoo priests.
