The street dog
That beckons to every male
That holds her delight
With jiggling bossom
And twirling buttocks
Aja Igboro
Ever graceful and luminous
Her charms; swaying words and binding gaze
Draws all ‘catch’ to her steaming pool
And brings them to lap its soothing gift
With the crazy desire of deprived sojourners
Aja Igboro
Every master’s loyal mistress
For her no demarcation of sort
Of race, faith or strength
All is to keep her mind ablaze
While she does yours same
Aja Igboro
She does not seek redemption
So try not to save her
It’s her path she treads
Her own ‘divine’ calling
Go yours
She goes hers
You try to save
She saves at hand
Even you the redeemer
She once has saved
Aja Igboro
Earnest finder of stray feet
That’s me

I've lost the memory of where I'm coming from. But I sure know where I'm going!Go to Eletrika's profile, and read more of his/her posts.
Ha!
That is you?
What is Aja igboro seff?
Public dog or more appropriately in this instance woman with loose morals, or simply prostitute.
Thanks @aturmercy for the explanation.
Yes, @Kaycee, that’s me. But if I hear you call me that…
For how long have you been in Lagos seff?
@babyada,
Am not even a year yet. And my lifestyle isn’t even helping matters. I know nowhere.
@kaycee, what kind of lifestyle is that? Are you now a changed man?
Secluded, reclusive, private..
Despite my inglorious calling
What is life without adorning
The Saviour chose without scorning
The old now turned new
Only He this could do
I likes very much.
@aturmercy, thanks.
Even him knows it’s that way.
@Electrika has done it again. Powerful message, stray female dog (bitch) just doing her thing.
By the way, I like the pix. True nature of nurture.
@louis, thanks.
i’m not so good with poetry but i know a good poem when i see one. my dear, this is beautiful. love it!
@moskeda. I’m honoured. Thanks.
Good message…promiscious woman doing her own thing!!
Electrika u ar superb…
Ah! Superb is too much for me o.
@Osondu, thanks.
Great poem… great message too.
“She once have[had] saved”- noticed this typo.
I enjoyed this. @babyada
Just wondering, what language is this?
Thanks @chimzorom, and for the correction too.
That is yoruba.
I don’t understand oh… That’s me? *lip sealed* hehehe…
@babyada, you’re good, nothing else to say than to pat you on the back and encourage you to keep writing.
And yea, I love the pics *wink*
@lancaster, thanks for the encouragement. But a pat isn’t enuff na.
Like the picture? *winks back*
If a pat isn’t enough, how about a kiss on four lips? Hehehehe
…such that salvage is savaged,
or is the stage, the age that to wedge this edge
tantamounts mounting mountains?
Save the queen,
The mother of our earth!
Thanks @ostar. But she needs no saviour.
Lovely poem…depicting what goes through the mind of prostitutes….a warning to all jehovah witnesses, evangelists that would want to come and preach redemption and repentance..
Well done eletrika..
@sibblywhyte, what do they have to preach about other than redemption. Who’s really saved?
Thanks.
ok now! @babyada, good one.
Thank you.
Insightful poem.
Well done.
@Seun-Odukoya, really?
Thanks.
Poignant, such is life.
There has to a balance in life aint it? some say nature,some nurture…as we sojourn in this wilderness of life, may we never become weary to choose the right paths.
On the Money again@baby…this got to me.
Amen!
@dottaraphels, which money?
Lol. Babyada, that’s her o, not you o. She’s even an ancient oyinbo. Lol.
You know I like your poems. This is no exception. Very well done..
Hehehehehe…
@gooseberry, are you sure it’s not me? But I said so.
Thanks.
Aja Igboro shey…Okay nah…@babyada, Can there be male “Aja Igboro’s” too?
Yes. Even, there are.
Thanks @weirdpile.
Hehehe…How I missed dis only shows how far I av been away from here recently.
Nice work @babyada u works recently av been errr….well, u get d drift.
Yeah…I do
Thanks Shai
Me likey.
getting my twisted mind outta here before I begin to read deeper meaning to this.
Well done @Eletrika
Not at all. It’s exactly what you think
Thanks jare.
Even you the redeemer she once has saved. Hmm deep.
Not one for poetry but I got this. Well done
@osakwe, what happened to that line?
I’m glad you understood this.
Thanks.
@babyada, nothing is wrong with the line. It made me ponder. I imagined someone went to try and redeem her and ended up sleeping with her. So I am wondering what she saved the person from- boredom, low libido or what? That’s why I said deep.
They say a good literature is one you think about long after you read it. That line held my interest even after I read it cos I wondered what you meant with that one line. you know sometimes what the reader infers is not always what the writer meant.
Once again- well done
@osakwe, no be lie at all. You’re right on point.
Thanks.
@babyada …
So you sabi yoruba small…
Interesting poem for the sake of art its lovely…
so this is the case of a ‘Public Dog’ exhibiting its pride…abi?
@afronuts, before nko. I be omo yoruba naa.
Thanks for the compliment. I appreciate and will keep improving.
@babyada
It was actually your name ‘babyada’ that made me think you were Igbo
@afronuts, I am. I only grew up in yoruba land, that’s why I call myself that.
