Hello everyone, Its my hope y'all doing great.
The weekend has been awesome as Saturday marked the world poetry day, I was privileged to be part of the poetry and book reading day organized by the high court of justice in Tamale that brought like minds together to discuss issues of poetry,reading and writing just to commemorate the world poetry day and together to read a peom together written by Prof lade Worsonu.
The idea of the high court of justice aim at seeing people read that sparks up their writing ability and people been able to appreciate every written or spoken word just to make sure that we are able to rekindle the ability of reading and writing.
The seating seeks to commemorate the day and remind each other of reading and writing most generally, poetry.
The world poetry day is a day to appreciate poetry and it was first celebrated in 1999.
After what the world poetry day is all about, everyone got the opportunity to share their poems,spoken words and it was very amazing listening and having a feel of spoken words from people.
Understanding Writing and Poetry.
Writing is something you need to have a skill for but some people are born writers but to be able to write poetry, you need to get to know what is invoke so you can also make your own words.
Understanding that, forms of poetry are numerous but to build a good poetry, you need a good foundation and motivate people wanting to read more verses of your own words and when writing, you don't just write but you write with metaphoric words and always write with essence. Structure of poems deals with emotions but you always need s content to make your work stand out.
I will be glad to share with you the poem we read together to commemorate the day.
This is how it goes.
Raider of the Treasure trove by professor lade Wosornu.
But what can be worthy of your life?
What dearer than the gems or your dreams;
The reason you are here? Always strive
To fly flags of joy, and, sail up streams
Powered by the breeze of love, your course
Chattered in the ink of compassion
And, fling roses wherever you pause
Heavens-on-earth your destination.
Of things which would blot out that brief
Or, breach your sails with arrows unseen
No, Rob you of your life, Rage is Chief
Rage drags rags after you, of Charity,Laughter, sweetness and light, Rage is thief
Enemy of equanimity
Rage spreads toxic fumes on every scene.
In essence, Rage spells calamity
It’s sole cause? Your perception of storms
Breaking around, not upon, your head+
There are either snakes, deviants nor norms;
As you think, so you feel. Watch your mind
Rage sets sail. Can ruin lag far behind?
I’ll fling roses wherever I berth
My destination is Heaven-on-earth.
We discussed what everyone made out of the peom ...We got people seeing the peom talking about pirates of Caribbean, anger, advice and so many other observances.
What do you make out of the Poem?.
Thanks for reading!! >
