🌄 "Things Kilimanjaro Saw" is a soul-stirring collection of sonnets that gazes through the ancient eyes of Africa's tallest sentinel. From the snow-capped silence of Kilimanjaro's peak to the sun-scorched plains below, these poems bear witness to love, loss, resilience, and the quiet revolutions of spirit and soil. Ndubuisi Onyeacholam crafts verses that echo like wind through acacia trees-sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce, always unforgettable. Each poem is a footprint in the dust of history, a whisper from the mountain that has watched generations rise, fall, and rise again. 🖤 Whether you are drawn to the rhythm of ancestral memory, the ache of longing, or the fire of identity, this collection invites you to stand still and listen-to what Kilimanjaro saw, and what it still sees. OnukaoguOkechi83 is a winner in Shortys 2025. ANNOUNCEMENT: Update will start on the 11th of October 2025 at 8 pm, and thenceforth every Saturday at the same time

Shakespeare's *Macbeth* was in my syllabus when I was in secondary school. But *Macbeth* was just an appetiser, for I went on to get the complete works of his. It was as I was reading his sonnets that I tried to mimic his 14-line poems-and the rest is history. I did not simply read Shakespeare; I encountered him. In my "mimicking" of his sonnets, I learnt that a word could be stretched from its primary meaning to other "shades" of meaning. Poetry to me is like a pilgrimage, a path of mystery, a ritual that can transport the poet from where he is to where the subject of his writing is, where he achieves a lived experience. I deliberately chose a rhyming scheme of **AABB CDCD EEFF GG**, with which I wish to import an African voice into the sacred art of sonnet writing. ✨ *OnukaoguOkechi83 is a winner of the Shortys 2025.

Hace años, el mundo tal como se conocía dejó de existir. Una guerra nuclear, impulsada por la ambición de unos pocos y la ceguera de muchos, arrasó con ciudades, naciones y continentes. Lo que quedó fue un planeta fragmentado, un terreno inhóspito donde la supervivencia se convirtió en ley y la lealtad era un lujo que pocos podían permitirse. Las viejas fronteras se borraron, los gobiernos colapsaron, y en el vacío de poder emergieron nuevas fuerzas. Entre ellas, el Consejo Umbral, un organismo secreto que aprovechó el caos para imponer su control. El Consejo Umbral no es simplemente un gobierno: es un ente que opera desde las sombras, combinando ciencia y poder militar. Su objetivo no es solo gobernar, sino reestructurar el mundo según su visión, donde la fuerza y la disciplina valen más que la humanidad.
