Write your comment about Then, When All Dream Sleeps poem by Abdulazeez Toheeb Babatunde
Gilbert Sordebabari : I'm particularly intrigued by the scintillating used of diction. The words of the poem are consciously and carefully chosen, thereby eliciting succinct imagery and in-depth meaning.
The techniques are very literal and metaphorical. Especially, the last two lines of verse three is so emotional and so paradoxical.
There are so many things to appreciate in this poem, I must commend.
