CHASING THE WIND by DAUDA ONAWOLA

 CHASING THE WIND
Precede, thou ulterior aflare stream
I shall come squirting via thy tail
Thou art shadow of vagary
Thou shalt be accompanied to the sky
By this vessel bearing the inked tube

Who Am I by Animashaun Nasirudeen (Mr Nass)

WHO AM I?
Many know not of my existence and even the few who does do not know about me... Who am I? A simple but puzzled question that's worth answering.

DVM by Ahmed Gbolahan Ahmed

Dedicated to all veterinarians in the world .... Including you

*D.V.M*
They say I should pass through school
and also allow school pass through me -
but I know it's a mere axiom it's core meaning is never considered.
Yes the school should pass through me, but how?
They keep me from 7am - 6pm;

Heart Vs Brain by Hameed Sodiq (Sidex)

THE HEART, THE MOST VITAL.
The heart as often said, is a muscle whose job is to pump blood 100,000 times a day to all organs of the body. It is a vital but simple bag of fleshy fibres that responds to external nerves and hormones to help with flight or fight response in order to maintain homeostasis. However, new research is showing that the heart controls the brain much more than previously thought.

FENOMENON X

FENOMENON X

The sky
The place we can't reach in this life
The place the race forge into
The place we reckon all days

WORD WIZARD IV: THOU ART NOT GREAT

THOU ART NOT GREAT

Go down stranded and fill thyself with tears,
Girdle thyself with sighing for a waist;
Upon the sides of merriment:
Seal thy lips and eyelids with tears, let thine ears.

WW III: WIZARD OF ORDER

MY VISION

Where the mountains touch the sky,
Where poets dream, where eagles fly,
A secret place above the crowd,
Just beneath a silver-lined cloud.

Lift your eyes to a snowy peak,
And see the soon-to-be we seek.
Whisper dreams and let them rise,
To the mountains old and wise.

Climbers climb, it's time to try,
Where the mountains touch the sky.
Take me there. Oh take me now,
Someway, Someday, Somewhere, Somehow.

Where the ocean meets the sky,
Where mermaid dance, where seagulls fly,
A place in dreams I know so well,
The sea inside a single shell.

Far across the living sea,
A pale blue possibility,
Beyond the castles made of sand,
Tomorrow I say is in a small child's hand.

Ahmad Gbolahan Ahmad,
Nigeria.

To the end...

TO THE END!

How we are living, we can't say
Life, we can't adjudicate
A lamp can't see it's own base
It can't be any other way
Life ain't cushy to give away
Heedless of the state of stay

Living ain't simple as life
Life is in stages
Hope is the theme
When one gets to any bridge
One will cross it
Until the soul...
Crosses the bridge of death

JUST THE THOUGHT OF YESTERDAY

Just the thought of yesterday alone,
Makes my heart melt and fully blown
How could we not see beyond colours?

WW I : MY NEW ROOM

This is the winning piece for the first edition of the Word Wizardry Contest on WhatsApp, happy reading!

MY NEW ROOM
Different faces and probably different races
Similar pipes and probably similar likes
Different homes and probably different poles
Similar quest and probably similar bests

To strive in different phases
With the best of all weapons and the swiftest of all talents
To elegantly ink views
Painting them from the palette of the mind
To leave imprints
One that is louder than the loudest voice

Here my new room
With friends to word-bloom
Fortnightly is going to be our new moon
With one winner to always boom
