Happy World Poet's Day

I was in an interview on the 21st of March

————

21st of March marks the world poetry day

A day for all poets and poetress

On this day I was in the mist of writers

Then I was invited by a young guy

Hello sir! 

Who are you? 

I am a poet I said

Really, but this place is meant for the writers alone 

The guy said

Oh! really, well every poet is a writer but not every writer is a poet I said

So you are saying, you are also a writer right 

He said 

No am not saying, but I am a writer as well

I said 

It's okay, but.....

But why do you love poetry? 

He said

Oh where do I need to start? 

To tell my love for poetry

How do I draw the chart? 

How do I make people understand? 

Cos poetry is my lifelong ambition

My dear passion

This makes me get married with my pen and paper 

Oh! How can I explain the company you give

When friends and family depart

When the journey of my life set me apart

You are the only one I see in my part

I love poetry cos it is a unique store of knowledge

It makes the world beautiful and interesting  

It helps to cure the diseases and sorrow in a moment 

It helps to spread love to everyone

It communicates life to death

It is the words of peace and harmony

It warns everyone about the fear of world war

I love poetry because it is the essence of life for All poets and poetress

Okay if I may ask why do you call yourself a writer? 

He said

Oh I love that

I am a writer cos I illuminate the world with the word meaning

I am a writer cos I write wrong on all lines

People read and enjoy the flow of rhymes

Wait shall I talk about the free flow that is enjoyed by the reader

Or the beautiful and melodic rendition of rhymes infused by a poet ( like I) in writing

Okay, you just imagine a clear cut whereby I (The author) stand firmly on poetry action seriously playing on words

Oh such a clear cut contradiction, how can you be serious while playing, he said

Yeah, that is what is called a pun

Or can you just imagine a person laughing and highly lighted after been insulted

Oh! That is what I can do with my pensive massive pen

So I am a writer cos I write through inspiration

I am a writer cos I write from the word of nation

I am a writer cos I write the world and nation

I am a prophet, so I must be respected 

Cos I see what the eyes cannot see

I am a seeker cos I speak the truth in the mystery

So I must reverence

I am a motivator cos I spark words their dictionary

I coined words together artistically

You can call me a wordsmith

Am a warrior and poetry is my weapon

His words are more sharper than any two mouth swords

Or can an army not cherish their weapon that saves during war

Oh! I love poetry as a mother love his sucking breast baby

Okay, what is your joy sir? He said

My joy, did I just hear you say my joy

Well, my joy is to die as a legend in my own time

So what can you say today being a poet's day, he said

I said happy poet's day

To all the poets all over the globe

Who penned down words for us to read and learn from

I say thank you for writing
