Cry For Help
He enters me and all walls tumble down
I open like flower sepals and receive him deep into me and I see the lust
in his eyes –
He mistakes my cry for help for orgasm.

UNDERSTANDING POETRY: THE PLACE OF PUNCTUATION IN A POEM
By Kukogho Iruesiri Samson Multimedia Journalist, Author of 'What Can Words Do?' Founder/CEO Words Rhymes & Rhythm (Ltd) When I started writing poetry consciously in 2002, it was not unusual to see me reading a poem by the greats – like Shakespeare, Yeats, Frost, Clark, Leopold and their contemporaries – and then writing a mirror poem. 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.
Cracked Hearts
The last time I saw Maimun words poured out of me like water squeezed from a sponge. She covered my mouth with hers as if to swallow a terrible curse that would come back to afflict us. “Forget us, forget me,” she said.

There seems to be a silent revolution that would end the age-old reign of man. Women are infiltrating, conquering and dominating where man has boasted the sole leadership and command since time immemorial, and are doing better. Why this sudden upheaval? 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. ...
Cupid's Broken Arrow
So many times has cupid hit Hearts of men poisoned by love Many a time has the dark heart of man Been illuminated by radiance dazzling the eyes Dawning the day when thaws the ice That had long frozen the heart. For many days long gone and not forgotten That followed each other in quick succession Cupid sped far and wide hunting for the lover Sun and moon coursed along his paths Wind and rain attacked him unvariedly Only to get the grazing hearts oblivious. Hearts with their serene breath Liz with a broken heart, hurt Leo with his lost love, untimely demise Hearts with staggering faiths on Facebook Cupid with his bow and poisoned arrows Shot them to lay at their feet each poisoned heart. Thence dawned the day of their date The two to meet, miraculous omens to relate Leo of Nakuru said to have travelled The long and bumpy road to Kitale Whatever in his mind who can doubt The candle of hope was brightly lit Prodigious love was soon to be begotten.
