ORIGIN OF HORN BOY

  ORIGIN OF HORN BOY Thick forest trees high standing atop hills of Bush Pott-Harcourt, whisking wind with clouds dark voice of a Reindeer crying, a female and I can feel her pains in its echoes.  A hunters' arrow must have struck her  I say to myself as I journey my path to pick herbs for my husband who's been sick. Further steps the Reindeer whines louder and never stops like a woman going through child birth, at this point I can't control my emotions anymore. Running across the hills to where the cry comes from are thongs and shrubs stinging revealing little of my blood.  I endure pains in hopes to rescue the Reindeer from what pains she must be going through, I arrive to my greatest surprise seeing a Reindeer giving birth to a child of human form.  Do I flee or stay  I contemplate, a sight not of normal human creation, how is it possible?

Sonnet K8: Let it rain

 LET IT RAIN Cloudy day pocket so dry I cry till dawn Is it going to rain fortune falling on me? Been through starvation and thirstiness Reaching persons with mind merciless Bewildered facing illusions of roadblock Taking stock of years passing emptiness Great and mighty of wealthy men I stalk Waiting for rub off as I break hard-knock The rain will fall cause I've paid my due Heavy waters upon me to wake in dew Soften the ground from heavy drought End creaking sound my pocket makes Dancing in the rain from now till ever Sweet memories here to stay forever Sonnet K8 Written by: Ode Clement Igoni Published by: CALM STORM Publishing Date: 24/5/2021

Sonnet K7: Heart's eye

  HEART'S EYE Looking like sparrow in deep of the night Searching for right vein to channel blood To keep things moving awaiting the light Riding on cruise whenever there is flood Inside narrow finding way to right place Same group looking as one to make face Two hearts one eye going the same route Of haemoglobin, one voice to blow flute Heart's eye keen to pick part making whole To bring smiles, new oxygen given breathe Many years it remains pure and evergreen Preserved in love, forever it'll never brink Look through my heart's eye, you to find Of one blood and pumping to never-end Sonnet K7 Written by: Ode Clement Igoni Published by: CALM STORM Publishing Date: 21/5/2021

Sonnet K6: Religion

  RELIGION Forces of doctrine keeping earth turning Man is god divine and fire within burning Searching for directions to meet creator Some go on and slay becoming dictator Say a prayer for no one knows tomorrow Darkness some will dig deep in to burrow Misled, some shed tears to many sorrow Ending the long day with a vessel hollow Man is religion finding the source of light To living so long years in place of bright Closing eyes, see final realm and height Ascending spirit and soul gone, no fight Accepting a path leading to great beyond Like compass showing what's yet to come Sonnet K6 Written by: Ode Clement Igoni Published by: CALM STORM Publishing Date: 18/5/2021

Sonnet K4: Reheat

  REHEAT Quarrels and misunderstanding yet we live Silence my heart hanging where owls live At mountain top nests scattered we leave Deeply injured but do not die nor bereave Reheat my feelings all come back renewed Fire burn coming down hill with spirit filled Cloths of emotions multiple colors shining No more cold past is done let's go dining Your smile, spark that brings fire to reheat Notes of treble so sweet, oh my heart beat No better gift to man than making whole Final peice of creation closing puzzle hole Distance to come a love that never dies Flames may be low a fire that never dies Sonnet K4 Written by: Ode Clement Igoni Published by: CALM STORM Publishing Date: 15/5/2021

Sonnet K1: Abstract

  ABSTRACT Looking at sky, dark clouds moving so fast I'm chasing after time don't want to end last Thoughts and feelings flying out, it all roam Getting high finding a way to sit top of dome Wanting good life sun comes shining bright Abstract image, working to fix broken light Sticking to large vision walking so cynical Vibrating of distant thinking coming lyrical Abstract I see fragments to form one peice Light passing through lens all I see is peace Large mural hanging in deepest of my heart Showing all I want, road to my destiny path Divine touch to see what I want in whole Inspiration to keep going covering miles Sonnet K1 Written by: Ode Clement Igoni  Published by: CALM STORM Publishing  Date: 12/5/2021
