How a Shy Boy Woos a Loud Girl


how a shy boy woos a loud girl



because he lives in a world of flippant tongues

and itchy ears, a shy boy tucks in his voice
and learns to speak in the language of silence

...until love came tapping on his door
she reeled out her tales like s seasoned orator;
he replied in the language of the rain drops

she sung a song in pitches soprano high;
he whispered in the language of the flowers, 
teaching her nostrils the music of fragrance

she chanted her desires like a voodoo priestess
swinging her hips in sync with her lips;
he whistled 'I love you' in the melody birds
floating in the language of the morning breeze

she moans a thousand words from dawn to dusk
she talks, she talks, she never stops;
he gestures to the of the ocean's waves,
expressing his in aqua language

with many words she expressed love
to this shy and silent boy;
he spoke to her with eye contact, 
and expressed his with hearty smiles.

Please come in and have a seat"  After a moment, she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"  "Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too; you can really spread out!" "Bathtub, living room floo...

Celebrating the “father of modern African literature”: Chinua Achebe

Today I join Google to celebrate Chinua Achebe's 87th birthday. Chinua is the father of modern African literature who with literature has touched many lives. Chinua Achebe was one of the greatest African writers of his generation. On what would have been his 87th birthday if he was alive, Google is paying its respects to Chinua Achebe on its homepage. Go to Google.com to view the doddle. Unarguably, Achebe’s influence on African literature is inestimable. He’s widely known to be the “father of modern African literature” with novels which projected Nigerian and African culture globally at a time when much of the continent was freshly free from the chains of colonialism. Chinua Achebe passed away March 2013 in the United States of America at the age of 82. The literary icon's journey to literary greatness started with ' Things Fall Apart ', which was his first book.
