Sentence Poems

 What are Sentence Poems?

Sentence Poems are my personal observational and experiential realizations and/or diductions containing general truth that are expressed in sentences. They are like personal saying, originally or unbeknownst recycled, that is, a saying that is known by others but not by the writer, hence the writer might have said it in a new way (recycled). Many of these may be usually a fresh way of saying an old adage or aphorism. They reveal some precepts or dicta, and some may have symbolism. I have tried my best to make these poems as literary as possible - to infuse literary devices - but some may contain no literary devices at all.

Why Sentence Poems?

These poems call for deep thinking and multiple interpretations as they are reflective in nature. Whether you're looking for inspiration or for a way to cope with whatever you are facing now, you'll get some thoughts here worth considering. I hope you enjoy these poems!

Strange!(?) by nene mawuhi

  Strange!(?)   I see things when my eyes are closed   I hear voices when I'm not listening I say things when my lips are sealed   I go places when I'm sitting alone   I think of many things when I'm not thinking   I do things when I'm doing nothing                                                                  n.m.

tracing stories by nene mawuhi

tracing stories   where stories begin? not at birth, not at the discovery of your path carved for you carved by you   beginnings go far far back as time when light was called forth from darkness and land surfaced on the waters, becoming everything else the world conceived and formed in a week plus rest and the telling of the Big Bang billions of years back stories   and (hi)story the genesis of our world, our story set characters make entrances and exits playing roles, neglecting parts your entrance brings you here (and our entrances converge at this time) to play, to create, to be - before you exit   the beginning of your story  like the beginning of your grandparent's, back back back to their forbears' forbears   the beginning of your story!                                         ...

A Prelude by nene mawuhi

  A  PRELUDE  In brewing with words begins this journey Of refining thoughts harvested from fields Of play and labor - from seasons of seasons - Our sweet company hold to bloom l ike  A living flower of rainy and harmattan days. See with my eyes, and listen, sense it all: My pieces in your pieces - all of me with all of you,  Taste the juice, smell the smoke and flavor - Sour or sweet brew's but the brewer's art. Curse not the course, bless not the bold But behold beyond and beyond behold the  Veiling, venting and vexing and vimming through this voyage!                                       n.m.
