@gretchenfilart "her gentle hand on my weary back. Isn't it strange how a child's hand can make a good bandage.." I love this line. This is beautiful and I hope it gets a home.

@ZaczynskiAll I feel a poem is never done. You just leave it to revisit it again, sometime, or never.

@AnikeBeloved__ When I listened to my grand mother and mother tell me and my siblings stories after dinner and I thought, what if I also create these stories told but in another way. Then I started writing and thank you to my nursery school that introduced us to lantern literatures.

I second this opinion made. My reason: the way Tares writes n' utilizes his poetic devices, n' approaches his topics is just so beautiful that I may term uncommon. The first time I got amazed by his works was when I saw what he did with his contents in his book "Chatham House."

Tares Oburumu could arguably be Nigeria's best poet at the moment. Man is in a class of his own. It's like Blaqbonez's said in the Martell cypher: "where I'm chilling is like a mountain to get to, like the corridors of power in a building like that..." That's Oburumu's class.

Day 30: #AfricanPoets2024 Today I'm tapping some of my own poetry 😉. 'A Poem Is An Enclave" was published in 2021 by @PoetryColumnNnd . A critical poem in my artistic journey & very nostalgic for me to read. Do tell me if you enjoy it, and, if you're feeling gracious, why. 🩵

One of the lessons I have learnt in my writing journey is that comparison destroys art faster than anything. It is easy to compare someone's 20th step with your 3rd step and get frustrated. As you get better, enjoy the process. It is your journey. You are doing great at it!
