Salma's Poems

Shaeri

1.

I can’t forget

That’s why                              I cry,

I sing a tuneful song         I tightly tie.

2.

Our dawn is a drizzly drop

Arvos—a bauchi game with the sun

Twilight relays darkly smog

Who knows how Time does run!

3.

The weekend goes by
Leisure, pleasure, and fun
Other days wear out
Duty, work…so run and run.

You, be well
Like the orange dyes on the boutique towel.

4.

I wish

I could wash the stars with sky waters

I could touch love with comely tears.

5.

Spring is here in white Brisbane
eyes shut you sans all are vain.

6.

Don’t say, “adieu”, say, “coming”
You close the door behind
Birds and bees are humming, humming…
