Poetic Land (Part 2) Poem by Emmanuel Damilola Adeyemo

Poetic Land (Part 2)



Still in the poetic realm
In the kingdom Plantae so peaceful and calm.
Standing afar off looking pale
Is the madam Anacardium occidentale.
She has suddenly been deserted with no reason 5
Since she lost all her kids during her last flowering season.
Looking gigantic is the Elaes guinensis
With no traces of photosynthesis crises.
All her siblings stretch out with pride
With so much elegance they can't even hide. 10
The Euphobiaceaes are left with just a comforter,
Their only visible survivor; Mr. Manihot esculenta,
All hopes lie on him
To spark up the family's name already dim.
Not so much about the Gossypium spp 15
All endowed with ugly physiques.
The future of their bolls seem so unhealthy
‘cos they wear stained white lints, so filthy.
And this disgusting Gossipium sight,
Pulled me down the poetic realm, from a great height. 20
I am now on my bed
Trying to restructure all I've penned.
