    I try to reach you

    yet again you spurn

    i watch as you turn

    your back and through

    the corner of my eye

    i see the spark die

    so because i am human

    yes, only a woman

    i slowly detach

    hi jeebs, of course i guessed it was you! My poem that night was “it wasn’t that her oranges were sweetest”. If you can recall that poem from the last reading, you would recall the face. I knew it was you because […]

    @JEEBS, i was about to say that you sound like a certain poet i listened to at loudthotz spoken poetry last week and then it so turns out…it’s you. You got a rare talent at this spoken word. I admire your style […]

    @Brytandre, thumbs up for your objective comment. Thank you. It is a moral poem and that is why i kept saying its about oranges nothing more. Although i know that we all view things differently.

    @xikay, i think it is very unfair of you to ask me such a question. Really. We all have a right to express our thoughts. I ask if an orange to be seen as anything other than an orange? I am sure there are a […]

    @xikay, you didn’t merely inteprete the poem, you carved out a different poem from it, which was beautiful in itself. I have no reason to be annoyed, i was overjoyed to see that you could see another aspect to the […]

    @seun-odukoya, ha…finally he speaks. Thank you. I agree that the poem could have been better, but the truth is i just wanted a simple poem yet laden with one present thought…that i bought oranges for the […]

    @bubblina, is an orange to be seen as anything other than an orange? yes xikay did draft a poem that signifies something else, but my poem was simply about an orange seller and my decision to buy from her.

    @louis, the poem is deep. It is simple and it is about an orange seller that knew how to sell her wares. That is all.

    @RIO, i bought her oranges because she approached me properly, not because i felt the oranges would be sweet. It was the surprise on her face when she saw that i waited for her to get the oranges from a store […]

    @xikay, what you have done here is to create another piece of poetry from your own understanding of the poem. The poem stands on its own, it is simply about an orange seller nothing more.
