Tony Adah Poems

The rainy Season is tired
And my flagons are empty
The season's aged days are here
Cows are mowing
...

A man yanked a deep wound
In my heart with his tongue
No where could I find medication
Than from his mouth.
...

The invisible winter wind
Slapped our faces
And we bowed to the winter cold
As strangers we dreamt less of this wind
...

Above and below
In the silent flight of the lonely birds
The humming howls of the lawn mowers
And the alighting of the chattered flight
...

The air is still with
Some sinister aura
Only roosters crow
Birds are pensive in their moods
...

I am home again
Thinking that the vacuum of
Nostalgia will be filled
But home is dry and
...

Two spouses sat in a car
Frowning like a sky about to rain
Their sullen faces obvious with bile
In a conversation full of trifling importance
...

I am not gullible
Your mouth is still
But its two fringes are shaking
Your explanation hardly coming
...

Old pollywog came quickly
To join the frogs
Without limbs I wonder what
It would have done with its big head
...

Between the looming sky
And the large expanse of the earth
I am a scavenger
I have voted severally
...
