I Still Love Her

By -

Love stared with eyes so cold

That my body froze.

Above the sun still in the sky and shining

The heavens gay with azure,

Convinced I've heard her wrong

Or made some horrible mistake;

The world's gloomy and frowns

I want to die, but how?

Even with thorns we pick roses

Why wouldn't I? I still love her.

The woman is empowered to the hilt, and the male species is losing it. Gone are the days when alcohol-acquired-machismo was revered by the ladies and thence the sisters (who’ve been in distress for eons) have taken the reins – from bedroom to work place.                   ...

By  Kukogho Iruesiri Samson Multimedia Journalist, Author of 'What Can Words Do?'

Then, I could work on a poem for days trying to master the existing styles (mostly sonnets and other metered poems). As a result, my poems were mostly with rhyme, rhythm and regular meter for years, until around 2009.
