What Is This? Poem by Tony-Cemaluk Egbuonu

What Is This?

Rating: 4.5

WHAT is this?
Wood.
What is it,
Where you came from?
Where I come from? Yes.
We call it evil forest
Why evil forest?
Why? .... Because.....
We don't know, really; could be
Where there are evils
Wh-a-a-t?
We mean evil spirits
Woods where evils abound?
Woods? No; forest full of evils
Wait a minute;
Will you wave abstract, evil?
What? Wave at?
What you can't see nor touch?
Why, then, full; for an abstract?
What you can't see; not touch.
Wipe your eyes for real.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
An imaginary discourse to open the eyes of those that imagine the presence of evil spirits in 'evil forests' but not in the woods.

Evil spirit in the evil forest but not in the wood. Where then does the wood come from? Nice poem
