One Sunday evening I remember,
Just a little before night ‘twas exactly twilight.
I walked till I found this chick
Trying hopelessly: jumping, hopping and squealing
Hoping to get out of the gutter hole
In which mother hen has left her
After so many failures in bringing her out, or so I thought.
I would help her out,
But my weary legs would not yield to my mind;
Because I like the chick is trapped and shackled in the dark
Prison of my thoughts;
Shouting, screaming and stretching forth my hands
And waiting for your hand to pull me out.

THE REAL THING
This honest, austere snapshot of life reads as still moving. There is no artifice, just truth. IT was beautiful from the beginning but the reverse perspective of the chick trying to reach the writer really did it for me. Exceptional work!

One tiny point of punctuation would make this superb
Because I like the chick is trapped and shackled in the dark
Because I, like the chick am trapped and shackled in the dark

Firstly welcome to Neopoet, and what an entry you have had two comments already and from Jess and Ron.
Here we have many workshops for learning and the Personal Message side you can use to ask others questions..
You will soon find out the ones that have the technical side to poetry (Not Me) but this will take time, I think we have about three poets from Nigeria now, have a look around and find them and together I think you could become very strong in the poetry field..
Take care, look forward to seeing more from you, Yours Ian.T
