Simon Odhiambo Biography

Am not alone in this I think
Three or Four of us sometimes Five
Waiting for letters to arrive in time
Letter box packed with lots, not ours
...

One Poem at a time, Is what you can read
Try two and despair, that is where it will lead

One channel at a time, Is what you can watch
...

What time is it?
Is a simple question to answer
A watch, a calendar or may be a clock
May help with the response
...

Great writers, great poets
Of time now and those gone by
Hear me out, as I wail the pen
The burial, I will not attend
...

Is to pass away peacefully in my sleep
Just as my father did...
And not shouting for help like the folkes
He was carrying home that fateful night
...
