Anthology of Poems
()
About this ebook
Some secular poems among them speak about the weather, like Summer and Thunderstorm. Others talked about real-life issues, like Sickness and Pain, Birth Process, and Birthday, and the life of a working person, like Workaholics and Composed.
In this anthology of poems, you will find spiritual poems and others with spiritual undertones and morals, like Sage, Divinity, and Pray, to mention a few.
Indeed, this collection of my works and poems is instructive, educational, interesting, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Its fully embedded with poetic devices, especially the use of personification, which is my favourite device used, in a very peculiar form. I hope that you will enjoy this collection. Happy reading!

THE MONTHLY FLOW
Red is the flag
which is hoisted every month
with moans and pains
it rushes like the stream
How can you stem this tide
it threatens to overflow
its banks
with white wool in time
The girls are lean
their colour pale
This rush of red
dries the bone.
it brings anaemia
if medicines are not given.
fruits in season, vegetables in tow alas
The girl child
