Sumaila Mohammed Rashad Poems

When first you saw I,
Little did I

Expect to get hooked
...

African mosquitoes have
Have the size of a grown man, s shoe
They have two heads joined with a screw
...

Poem: My unroofed village

My village is far away
Farther than your
...

Shadows are not just black
In their entire pack
They also are as white as Eynesbury's duck
If your shadow is like mine
...

On my nuptial night,
Not a forest of Nemeses
Can suffocate the
War I'll wage
...

See you cannot

The sun
Sitting swarthy
...

Once, I totted broken
Lines to my abode
And abruptly kissed a token
Struggling to remember his code
...

Look!
Don't ever come again! You old June
For when last you came
You brought murk tidings
...

I stood aghast behind the smoke walls
That rob me sight of the dance staged by the dove;
My heart flooded with a crouching force
As I look at the rain of stars from above.
