Okpecho Poem by Ojeikpo Elijah

Roll and roll
Like a form master
Ready to call the roll call
She cuddle the sky

Okpecho...
Boldly you spread like a mat
Against the sleeping roof of heaven
Drunk in love most at August

Okpecho...
A perennial EGBE fountain
Swung like a roar warrior
Unto uproar battle

Okpecho...
Ancestral sacred pool
Roll and roll
On your thighs every child grow
An Oracle of life

Okpecho...
Cloud is your sleeping mate
August the month you cheer
Clear and crystal
Distinct among others

Okpecho...
Your song beat the shore of thirst
Link heart Unto heart
And with your might hands
You snake over to ocean
