YemiD Ogunyemi Poems

Just when I thought
I should be at peace
By myself, ensconcing
Upon a peace-stool
...

The footsteps to your philosophical path
Nearly tempted me into your philosophical path
But I escaped miraculously to another path
A hair-breadth's escape
...

This Tree planted
By the riverside
Shall never wither
It shall bring forth
...

The fall of that Tree
Not the fault of that Tree
Could be the fault of man
Always disrespecting nature
...

Firm-rooted flowering plants
They begin to sprout and spring
Blossoming, blossoming
Luring me into their circle of blossom
...
