Hillary Nwaigbo Poems

Partly sunny, partly cloudy
At its twist, everything went rowdy
Flinching hopes at sunrise
Got dwindled at dusk set
...

Just wannabe,
the only butterfly that tends to pollinate your flowers
Caressing your every apex
And causing it's bloom in seasons with blue colors.
...

Like a thin blade,
He swiveled his way through my heart
Our shared memories, an indelible ink
Your smiles just like a pack of jade
...

Painting the sheet red at day's break.
Mother said, 'Don't let the boys know'.
Sister chuckles, 'You've become a woman'
Friends advised, 'Girl! Slay dirty'.
...

Oh! Woman's born
Thou art pilgrims here on Earth
Our stay only but ephemeral
And life, just a fleeting moment
...

Oh! How we gonna desert the lonely fields
That warmly embrace our feet
Leav'n' traces of its prints
...
