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.

The man should be here soon" Half an hour later, just by chance a door- to-door baby photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale.  "Good morning, madam. I've come to...." "Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you," Mrs. Smith cut in. "Really?" the photographer asked. "Well, good. I've made a speciality of babies"  "That's what my husband and I had hoped. 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...

Featured Poem: Slavery In Africa - by Uwen Precious Ogban

SLAVERY IN AFRICA We believe they rowed their boats of tumults into our region; carrying with them bags of conundrums, while we drummed our drums and jollied to their, intonation. The way they dressed, the way they addressed us Made us mime to the harmony and yearns in their speeches of a dawn to civility and hale: that was a start of the course of slavery in Africa. We still thought they were our brothers, because our chiefs rolled floridly with their proposals While we were mockingly disposed of In the field, or given to bespoken tailors as apprehends; as helps; in servitude; ‘posed to carry out orders as the come in flicks. We became babies in our own motherland we became cartage of their foreign plans. We cleared our huts so that they could find comfy and build on our strengths draining our tears as they wryly whipped us on our backs. Their wisdom their prowess They used to molest And we gazed in cluelessness Cause we still didn’t see it as slavery then – but as pain, so enjoyable....
