SLIDESHOWS OF CONQUESTS poem by Simpa Omoluabi

SLIDESHOWS OF CONQUESTS poem by Simpa Omoluabi 

Slideshows of conquests of a tar black land
Interestingly touching the taste of crows
Mapping out their way to the tree that grows
Plainly for the games they play on quicksand            
Amidst the pythons in their deadly pose
Offsetting the Alsatian dogs that rose
Menacingly to keep the black simians
Outside this circle, but the Dalmatians
Lately proved stronger against the snakes
Under great pressure that for certain makes
Assault on their tails certainly do free
Brownest eye shadows out of this great tree 
Interesting the crows said to invade it
For to create in the tree a dip pit

SPEAKING FROM VIOLETS poem by Simpa Omoluabi

SPEAKING FROM VIOLETS by Simpa Omoluabi

Speaking from violets growing in your brain
Imperial tigress crouching at your feet
Mulberries turning chair for you to sit
Pricking your thumb on some songbird’s refrain
Allowing yourself be sweetly caressed
Obdurately by a reason undressed
Mainly to have its way to feed your fight
Organized to annihilate a kite
Losing its blood o’er a bloated carcass.
Uncanny minstrels ply the great bypass
After the circular road of violets
Busy with dehorned deer dressed in fishnets
Inclined to run wild at an arrow-shot
And less inclined to run at a gunshot.
