A Whale Of A Time!

A Whale Of A Time!

A Poem by Bonaventure Onuabuchi

Farewell is my accolade,
I say to the time gone by.
Die lively and visit no more.
No wrench is worthy in our parting.
Guests about in my new abode;
a dainty dahlia of dancing damsels,
With blasts of light-hearted pleasures;
smiling faces that never cease,
revelling in snogs.

Do here lived in the past?
The thought took me back to the forbidden home!
Embracing the saliva-soaked pillow,
No damsel in in sight;
the abused past still my quest.
Because life is a dream.

"a dainty dahlia of dancing damsels" - I see you are no stranger to alliteration yourself Bonaventure - this is sublime writing with a smooth beat.

I did have a wee stumble at the line - "Do here lives in the past" - but Im sure there is just a typo there.
The Last line - "Co's life is a dream" - I'd have just written "Because life...." in keeping with the style of the rest of the poem - but thats just a personal opinion - its your writing B.

"Do here lived in the past?
The thought took me back to the forbidden home!
Embracing the saliva-soaked pillow,
No damsel in in sight;
the abused past still my quest.
Because life is a dream."
The past must be remembered as a lesson and try to improve place and life. The poem is hard and direct. Thank you for sharing your amazing poetry.
