Thank you so much, my beautiful people for nominating me twice for the Nigerian Bloggers Awards. I am so thrilled and I am thankful that my blog is an inspiration to others. Alright, actual voting begins on the 31st of May so please go ahead and finish what you've started :). Bless you all.

Today was amazing. Our friends  have been here and when there are a lot of people at our house, there's liveliness. After hiking in the morning with my brother and friends, we returned and played games, volleyball, etc. And had good food too. Okay, so I would like to share this before I take a bow. Have a great week my people!

THE EAGLE BROKE HER WING!

To:

Short plays, Cold Saturdays
Sweet acid, bitter wine
Blind eyes, Autumn leaves
Plastic pillows, dry rivers
And:
Shallow love, scattered beads
chaotic homes, broken limbs
foolish old, ugly brides
empty Amazon, black skies
For:
Lazy children, jilted lovers
fast summers, slow winters
sour oranges, hungry farmers
brown grass, thin glass
And:
Last laughs, sore eyes
draught and famine and pain
withered roses, blackened violets
loveless marriages, selfish gains
Friendly traitors, wordless books
burnt soils, ashy plains
Few fathers, many men
Many children, many orphans
For:
Finless fishes, friendly snakes
Spotless cheetahs, hairless bears
stout giraffes, voiceless birds
string less guitars, fur-less coats

To and for everything mundane,

Like flowerbeds with more thorns than roses

Especially the wingless eagle.
