I've reaped the treasure of silence
into prominence of creative flame
poetry is an erection of thoughts
stirred behind the wheel of the mind
I'm a solitary poet of African nation
I'm like a swinging of a pendulum
thoughts in me vibrates to - and- fro
that's why am delivering it to you all
in silence I lay with great solemnity
that's why I'm thoughtfully crafted
with revelations of poetic language
heralding to the ears of all people
time shall come when I shall depart
'fore then, I shall encrypt my words
through the seal of literary devices
making eavesdropping impossible

Nice poem here…
I like the imagery here.
“poetry is an erection of thoughts” now there is an image….
In reaching out to the people, not just those around you, good work there.

That last stanza
I really like that. The whole poem is excellent but that last stanza really completes the idea. Very strong poem.
