Gabriel Orji Poems
- 1. Butterflies
Even butterflies know they have to
Shake and crack their cocoon
To break off.
Even the little chicks know they must
... - 2. The Giant
On this day in 2020
The giant came like a thunderous bomb
Throwing missiles at his helpless flesh
I was afraid that people cannot help me.
... - 3. Extraordinary
My friends wonder where
he started this amazing drawing.
I was inherently a baggy
when he started making my sketch,
... - 4. The Artist
When he started this drawing,
My face was roughly smashed like a squeezed apple.
I was ugly like owl.
My legs were weak like the legs of mosquitoes.
... - 5. The Spider
He wants to be a prisoner
When he freely walks into the spider web
Captive, confined like a caught thief.
Stealing its prey in a dam and dungeon
...
