Ogidimo,
That was the splendour of my boyhood
In the southwestern divide of our land
Where my mother excreted me
And gave to me
The milk from her chest
Whence I also began to toddle
And sprout teeth and wing
Thence we rollicked in insectiviewing-
Our best kind of gaming,
We hunt,
We nurse,
And watch Ogidimo:
The largest species of beetles.
Wonderfully worded and flows well. It imagery is well balanced and intense. I enjoyed the flow and the power behind the imagery. This stands out not only as a good poem but as a good visual reading. thanks for sharing Michael
