The Beauty Of African Pottery
In the heart of our continent, that birthed legends,lies a hidden treasure, a tale that is yet to be told.Crafted with precision, a masterpiece to behold,About the beauty of African pottery, bold and ancient… How could I not marvel at this ancient art?That connects our hands with the earth,bringing to life a creation from the heart.Every curve & pattern, tells a story so grand,You see, the beauty…

Devils & Demons III
Of all the demons,You are my favorite,You whispered into my earsYour sweet and cunning words.At least, that is what others do call your words that melted my soul.I’m here reminiscing all the times we have been together,How you gave me a safe placeWhen the church threw me out,When you accepted me for who I wasAnd fought my little battles with meOh how good but just a memory you are now. Little…

Editorial . There is always an overhanging unspoken pressure at the beginning of things, a book, a story, a movie, a song. It is no different for me right now. I personally believe that it is because beginnings often overlay the rest of the tone, they set the bar, aid us to set out expectations. Which is why I should probably clarify something before we continue. . This is not my beginning, this is my dead end. What do I mean when I say this? Well, let me explain... .

Write 3 Novels In 1 Year
Tumblr media
250 words in 15 minutes. 250 words to a page. 10 pages a day. 100 days to a novel. 3 novels a year.
That was Anthony Trollope’s reckoning in his Autobiography.
“It had at this time become my custom… to write with my watch before me, and to require from myself 250 words every quarter of an hour. I have found that the 250 words have been forthcoming as regularly as my watch went.”
But Trollope was…

Palesa My Precious Little Girl 👑🤍
In realms unseen, where spirits dwell,Where time is at a stand still, little did I know, That her words draped in a sheet of love, a speech at my 21stWould be our last, and a bittersweet farewell.. My beautiful friend, like a sister joined her Ancestors' embrace,Leaving behind a world veiled in grace... Her departure came as a shock, Her funeral I could not attend, due to the journey I have…

Eternal Melodies of Love
With love, I do this,Let God’s will be done.Has been my favourite quote ever since I met you,Hoping one day, I would profess my love to you,And here we again,Nature blessing me with this opportunityThat I prayed and yearned so much for,So much that I forget myself in the momentsWhenever I am with you.Spare me this moment and let me rejoice,For I cannot hide my joy as I speak these words to…

Chinua Achebe's African Trilogy consists of three novels: "Things Fall Apart" (1958), "No Longer at Ease" (1960), and "Arrow of God" (1964).
Things Fall Apart
This novel follows the life of Okonkwo, a respected leader and warrior in the Igbo community of Umuofia.
No Longer at Ease
This sequel focuses on Okonkwo's grandson, Obi Okonkwo, who has returned to Nigeria after studying in England.
Arrow of God
Set in the 1920s, this book centers around Ezeulu, the chief priest of the god Ulu in the village of Umuaro.
Together, Achebe's trilogy provides a compelling narrative about the effects of colonialism on African societies, exploring the tensions between modernity and tradition, and the intricate dynamics of cultural identity. #Olwatuka #africantrilogy #chinuaachebe #thingsfallapart #nolongeratease #arrowofgod #okwonkwo #obi #ezeulu #africannovel #africanwriter #africanliterature

Beautiful, brave of heart
Calamity befalls you
You’re true puppet of woe
You’ve been kissed by love and hate just the same
You’ve seen it all
It’s time to go home
No, it’s not depression.
This here, is far too distinguished a feeling.
It’s enlightenment,
a handshake with fate,
reconciliation with life
Beautiful, brave of heart
hanging from a rope
Your neck carelessly bound
The orchestration of your own murder
Imprecise and ghastly. And how gorgeous it all was.
A lifeless face
Aggrieved and delicate
I’ve never seen one more beautiful
Go forth, go fast, go slow, die at your own pace
Make it beautiful, go gently. Pathetically.
Do not let the gods take you away
Bow out at your time, relinquish them of their might
Do not let them win, never let them win
Till we meet again

Wowza! I’ll be in conversation with @dfordarkoa author of #thesexlivesofafricanwomen on March 8th. Make your Tuesday more than the day before hump (pun intended) day—come join us on Zoom at 4 pm EST this Tuesday. There’s a lot going on in the world. We’re all basically going through some spectrum of second-hand trauma. I know. I *still* think we always deserve to make room for pleasure. ‘Pleasure isn’t just for perfect times or perfect people. It’s for right now. @dfordarkoa has written an absolutely beautiful book and if you haven’t read it yet—you need to. Her work brings warmth and so much complexity to African female s*xuality. You’ll walk away forever changed. See you there!

Bad habits are a burden. It’s takes more than just you to get out of it. Maybe good company or new people or a fresh start. Nonetheless, the issue is it never really leaves . You have to always check yourself every minute. For those that can’t , keep working on it . No one can really say they got rid of it. Don’t feel left out. It’s a journey! We all work on it everyday. #poetrycommunity #poetry #africanpoetry #badhabits #addiction #pressure #anxiety #breakloose #poetryisnotdead #procrastination #cameroonpoetry #writers #smokers #blackwriters #liars #indolent #africanpoet #africanwriter #lazy #cameroonwriters #arrogance #egotistic #egocentric #narcissist #dreamchaser #bigdreams https://www.instagram.com/p/CNC8wBHlBkL/?igshid=49465y6jdxf3
