wings rise
and fall
birds moves forward


(Can this be Haiku) I really want to learn haiku
#review #poem #AhmadMusa

a frog dove toward
the pond -
a mirage

sun dares time
and sent down its rays
night falls; who else?


#haiku #AhmadMusa #review

to the aloof
overbearing sun at its peak
time said: alright fall


#AhmadMusa #review #haiku

love only grows
on the soil of heart
where it can stretch
its scent freely and wide
to reach every corner
that knows of blood

it has a fragrance
which can soak all walls
this allows it to leak
into the outside world

hence a smell
from only few points
without a doubt
is not from true love

will a block be laid
before the end of time
if clearing the site
has lasted till date

and to fulfill the dream
our ancestors had
the site must taste
diggers and spades

perhaps no generation
will see the first block
to be used
in the building of science

The future is deaf and blind
it doesn't see or hear
screams and tears

tomorrow is mute and unfeeling
it won't utter
any consoling word

later is weak and helpless
it can't rid
the thorn in its hand

What path is left
for the troubled, to affect
the cause of fear?

The route walked
by Yunus - who left
a whale's tum, alive

#AhmadMusa #review #poem

Northern Nigeria


The green north
is sinking into blood
Its land disappearing
and replaced by graves

Its calm air
has been exiled
leaving fear
for people to breath

Rivers of migrants
flow non-stop
below the fierce sun
and heavy night

Wild humans -
a savage specie -
made homelessness better
than staying at home.

In the womb
a lifeless creature
is confined

In the soil
a lifeless creature
is buried

In the grave
a lifeless creature
is entombed

In the end
a living creature
is born


#AhmadMusa #review #poem

The day
man shall stand
before the Master

Stripped
of clothes and titles.

From womb
or tomb
humans are weak
