Poetry in a Global Box: Federal Republic of Nigeria

POETRY

Certain moods, occurrences, or activities

can trigger an inspiration within us,

a communion with others souls,

and we can see, feel, or touch what others experience.

Ideas begin to bustle in our heads,

and we are filled with a certain urge,

an urge to send a message,

to express a feeling or thought,

but it only lasts for a short while.

If we are able

to nourish this urge,

we are blessed with a feeling,

as if a creator,

our creation being poetry—

our gateway to each other.
