Rotimi Jaiyesimi Poems
The wave comes steaming towards the coastline
Relentless in its effort to break through the barrier
But it fails in its pursuit
...
Nigerians, a people of vitality and creativity
Let down by the absence of purpose and a sense of direction
Nigeria, a nation with abundance of hope
Exemplified by the daily struggles of its people
...
The petal stands
It opens up
Bright colours, emitting sweet fragrance
What a beauty
...
It is the end of the day
I lie on my bed
and listen to the news
being beamed into my room
...
The clouds became darker
And the winds blew heavier
The air was filled with cyclones of dust
While trees rocked to the bases of their trunk
...

The Best Poem Of Rotimi Jaiyesimi
Relentless
The wave comes steaming towards the coastline
Relentless in its effort to break through the barrier
But it fails in its pursuit
It pulls back, as if to go for reinforcement
Harnessing further waves it makes a further attempt
Battering the rocks but again with no success
It spews out white foam in frustration
And retreats back with endless ripples
Leaving in its wake pebbles and shells
It remains undaunted
And makes never ending attempts
Fool hardy?
No - its satisfaction comes from the liberty and freedom it has in its pursuit
