So the other day a wild thought came across my mind...

What if someone somewhere in the world looked exactly like you?

What if cloning was a day to day occurrence?

Well, The Unknown says it all....

As I pen this I stand in the unknown

Of whether in this world I'm alone

Or maybe there's a clone

A clone to whom I'm unknown

A clone like me, all -grown

Why I say this you may ask

Well, that I don't know...

But nine years ago, 

Along the Eastern Shore, 

I met a strange old Crow

Who said she had seen me the day before

Along the Eastern Shore

But Lo and Behold! 

I had never been to the Eastern Shore before! 

'Come on Crow, tell me more! '

'Follow me and you I will show...'

And so I followed the Crow

Along the Eastern Shore

And Lo and Behold! 

I met one of my own, all -grown!

His name was John

From Sierra Leone

He resembled me down to the bone

And that to me, was quite a blow

But ladies and gentlemen

The ending to this, unfortunately, I don't know

For up to date it still stands unknown

Of who between me and John

Was the clone...

The Hunger Games Catching Fire

Okay, so this may have nothing to do with poems, but I just had to share it...

Today, or precisely tonight, I had the experience of a lifetime...
And it all happened at, wait for it, IMAX!
Yes, the premiere of The Hunger Games Catching Fire, the second sequel to the series.

Hats off to the whole crew of the movie because it was simply, spectacular!

And hats off to 98.4 Capital FM too for the party!

Oh, hats off to Safaricom Kenya too for the free 1.5 GB data bundle and airtime  worth Ksh 1000...

I sure was part of the experience thanks to IMAX!

Those of you haven't caught the movie yet, you better! Now to begin the countdown to the third sequel of the series The Hunger Games Mockingjay which is most likely next year at a time like this!

Oh, and even if you've read the book, the movie is a must watch!

Once again, hats off The Hunger Games crew. You've outdone yourself once again!

May The Odds Always Be In Your Favour!

...Of Singing...

So my friends keep telling me how I can't sing. 
Well, that's kinda true...
So there's this one time I tried singing and damn was it a disaster! 
But then, I got to doing what I do at such times, writing about it!

 

I Can't Sing, Not Even A Bit!

 I love music, I love it, just as I love meat,
But unfortunately, one thing that'll make me quit,
Is I can't sing, not even a bit,
But when I hear a beat, it brings me to my feet!

My singing voice is terrible, that I admit,
But how dare you, a whole you, to me cheat?
That my voice is to you is 'Oh, so sweet'?
Try using some wit!

Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry, give me the heat,
Owl City, Maroon 5, I want to meet,
But won't they throw me in a pit?
'Cause according to them I'd rather sit and knit?

I can't sing, not even a bit, that I admit,
But my music I will dare not delete,
I'd rather a whole week not eat,
And get my naughty voice whipped to be sweet!

This terrible voice I will vomit,
And behold I will have a new spirit,
No longer will my voice be illicit,
But will be as sweet as a biscuit!

I can't sing, not even a bit, that I repeat,
But my voice will improve bit by bit,
My throat that high note will hit,
And at that point, my soul will be like the morning sky, lit!

...Hugs From Afar...

 

Ever been away from home and called that one person that you just never want to stop talking to? 
Know how it feels talking to 'that' person? 
Ever felt that hug from afar?

Well, keep it locked on Walt The Poet...

Of Birthday Wishes and Feeling Loved...

 

So there was this one time I got a birthday wish from someone...
I felt so loved...
Check it out...
And it was done in the best way it could be done, poetically...

Yes you have trodden the long path,

                                                       Sixteen years of life's cruel wrath,
                                                       It all seems like just the other day,
                                                       When we'd sit and watch you play.

                                                       I guess age is just a number,
                                                      You're now older but not put to slumber,
                                                      One thing my dear I know for sure,
                                                      Yours is a bright future if your mind stays pure.

                                                      Growth comes along with responsibility,
                                                      Maturity, Beauty and Ability,
                                                      Able to achieve what your mind conceives,
                                                      Or follow what excitement deceives.

                                                      Whichever way things go,
                                                       Always know I love you so,
                                                       I won't judge you when you fall,
                                                       But be here through it all.

                                                       At this point I must proudly say,
                                                       To you I wish a happy birthday!    

                                                                 -Sharon Atito

HAHAHA!

So, here's what I wrote... 

HAHAHA!

When life is rough
And you've had enough
When life is rough
And you want to take a puff
When life is rough
And you're hanging tough
When life is rough,
Release the turf,
Drop the handcuff,
And come on just laugh!

Of Uncontrollable Laughter...

So my friends keep telling me how I laugh at the oddest and weirdest of times and places...
But you gotta agree with me that the laughter in class has just got to be the best, that muffled up laughter where you hide yourself under your desk and try fighting it up and all, yeah? 

HAHAHAHAHA!

But one time I thought about it and...
Yep! I wrote about it...

A Drowsy Session

ZzZzZzZzZz...

Okay, so there was this one time I was in class and the teacher was so dull that I couldn't help myself but write about it. After all, poetry gives solace at all times... Haha!

 A Drowsy Session 

Drowsy, her lessons a lullaby
Can't wait to bid her goodbye
It's the truth, why should I lie?
I hate her sessions, on her I can't rely!
Right now, she sits in front, her head held up high
As I stare out of the window nigh
So interesting suddenly became the sky!

Caught Up and Lost in Poetry...

Hey people! 

I know it's been long... 

But keep it here for some work which has been underway... 

Stay tuned...

...The Feeling...

The siren wails
The feeling sails
The walls around you begin crumbling bit by bit
The cool breeze whispers in your ears
The trembling blade of grass reminds you of your fears
The zooming cars make you count days
Days that have fallen away
Fallen away with nothing to show
The clouds above roll
Roll along with your thoughts
Your thoughts caught up and lost
Lost deep in your bones
You swallow the lump
The lump that sits inside your throat
But it gets caught up and lost
Lost deep within your soul
You untangle the shackles
The shackles rioting within
And suddenly, the walls around you,
The walls around you come tumbling down...

...Happily Ever After...

'Could we be friends? ' she asked,
Confused, I knew not what to say,
Where I lay,
In the terrible cold in May,
I got over her day by day,
Never wanting her in my way.

But there came December,
Our love like a burnt out ember,
A time I clearly remember,
That of the singles, I was a member,
But then we spent a lot of time together,
Late nights, early mornings,
Did she tell you we had a happy hour,
Where our feelings would again flower,
And above the skies tower?
That's what reignited our power,
Life no longer was sour,
Cause I told her how much I still loved her,
And she told me how much she still loved me,
No longer emptiness in the laughter,
Days now go by faster,
She's there to wipe away my boredom,
And reignite my freedom,
I just hope we live happily ever after,
Only time will tell...

...A Prisoner's Regret...

...Behind Bars...

At a time like this
I try to dismiss
These screaming memories
But seemingly,
They engage a melee
Tormenting my every thought
Oh! I wish I did not!

In my mind they shout
Hoping soon they'll be out,
I smile and relax
But no! They hit like an axe
Bruising my thinking tool
To forget them I ought
Arggh! I wish I did not!

My mind a shelter for them
Slowly growing a stem
A blast from my past
Which like Iron should rust
They indeed must!
But by them I am caught
Damn! I wish I did not!

A life I lived
But did not forgive
I only killed
And the deal was sealed
Lives I ended a lot
Grr! I wish I did not!

Tall behind bars
For having taken cars
And robbing grand banks
The ransom I got
Would sink a boat
Mmh! I wish I did not!

At this season
I see no reason
To leave this lonely prison
For within these archaic walls
Is a heart and soul that must rot
I still say, I wish I did not!

Tired of these days
Must bring them to an end
That's what my friend says
'There's nothing you'll mend
Just hold onto this knife
And let it do the rest'
I must end this life
After all it was never the best
For a knife through this chest
Will end this never-ending test
See you in another world...

I am now in the hospital bed
Realizing I was wrong
To let regret rule my head
None can soothe not even a song
Just staring at the ceiling instead
Making friends with its shadows along
The stain on my cloth so red
I hope this is where I belong
Far much better than the criminal hole
That in it was to rot my soul

I have to forget this
Force it at the back of my mind
My family I really miss
Can't tell if they're alive
Or living like a flock of geese
My mind a bee-hive
Of whether I'll be around in five
To see her radiant smile
Just for a while

Just wish I could return to the past
To undo this that is cursed
But no, I simply can't
I simply can't rewind
I'll just have to find
A way to tame this mind
I wish I wish I was a fish
So these chains to unleash
And swim far far away
But no, I simply can't
I'll just have to stay
For there is no way!

AND I'M HERE...

I finally got to creating my own blog! Keep it here for the best of my work guys...
Poems and anything 'poemy...'
