A spam book, essentially, of poems.
On the last day of seeing my friend of three years he told me: "Keep writing. You have a talent for it and I can tell you get something from it."
So today, I present to you the contents of my mind.
Welcome, I wish you the best on your journey through the forest and over the oceans. May you see the Diamonds and Sun, instead of the perpetual night.

The 155th Sonnet

155 parts Complete Mature

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. But it was as I was reading his sonnets that I tried to mimic his 14-line poems. The rest is history. I did not 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.
