CRAVING FURY (A Poem) by Erhimesoja

A storm rages inside,
A fire burning bright and wild.
A hunger for the storm’s embrace,
To feel the fury on my face.
To taste the bitter wind’s caress,
And watch the world in wild distress.
To dance with chaos, side by side,
And revel in the burning tide.

A deep craving, a primal need,
To let the beast within me feed.
To break free from the chains of light, And embrace the darkness of the night.

Erhimesoja is a Nigerian poet and skin care expert. She lives and writes from Abuja, Nigeria.

In The Poetry of Life: The What-Ifs | Nasiba Babale

In a lot of ways, ending a year is like ending a poem. Like a poet approaches a finished poem in scrutiny, going over and reading it again, sometimes reading it out loud to hear the rhythm and make sure it flows smoothly, so too do we go over the events of an ending year. But unlike a poem, we cannot remove the words or the lines we feel are obstructing the flow of a year spent. There is no going back to remove a word or insert a new one. There is no changing the events of any moment. There is no altering the flow. There are only the what-ifs.

Stories From Young African Poets: Career Choice And Erhimesioja.

Since I was born, daddy bought us books. He was a writer himself, writing stories in notebooks that ended up in corners of the house, unpublished. Had my father been born in more recent times, he’d be a great writer, I think.

Black Poets: Bassey Ikpi.

Bassey Ikpi still identifies as a writer though she has referred to herself as an “ex-poet”. She has recently clarified that poetry was simply the conduit through which she could articulate all the emotions she failed to understandably express. Now, she says, she is healthier than ever and is interested in publicising wellness as a possibility, as a lifestyle.

On The Subject Of Love In Contemporary Poetry: The Significance Of Abdullahi And Kambai’s A Cult Of Fireflies.

Although a chapbook of very short poems (which seems like the poets’ attempt to test the water of critical reception), part of the aesthetic appeal of the collection is the poets’ use of language.
