Poetry
This months' selection of poems from the ALS.

Orange Hawker
Ike Anya

    Large round tray delicately
    Balanced on slender neck
    Budding breasts thrust out
    In defiance of lusty stares
    Snake-like hips swaying
    In rhythmic abandon
    A subtle invitation sent
    Softer, yet louder than your cry
    "Orange, swee...t ora...ange "

Just Doodling
Ayo Daniel

    Monday night; too tired to think
    Tuesday night's just another night
    Wednesday night, I'm counting days
    Thursday night; I just can 't wait
    Friday night, you're here at last
    Saturday night, its all night long
    Sunday night... damn you, tomorrow is Monday

Do Come Back
Oluwole Kehinde 1999

    Of pretty starry nights
    your twinkling eyes remind
    When in my arms you lie
    and dream of life so bright.

    Like hands of many masseurs
    sound of your gentle answers
    Kneads my soul for hours
    leave a year's glow after.
    To be my only harness

    I wish ofyour caress.
    Takes away the dryness
    Gives me so much gladness.
    That we never might part
    ofGod I always ask
    Please love, do come back
    break not my poor heart.
