The Sweet Hour of Muse By Morayo Oshodi



Wide awake at midnight
Then a voice in the wind
Harsh but true said 
They think I'd just give up
When I'm almost at the end of the tunnel
I lay down and slept 
but my subconscious 
ranted away...
Could this be convention?
This smell as rot fish 
Filling the atmosphere.
Alas that I may be choked up in it?
When there are waters
That haven’t been stirred
not to mention rippled.
It takes a little time
To cock a gun and shoot.
Risk is what makes life beautiful
Don’t you think so?
The confidence that matches up
to it tells you you aren't far from your goal.
A fearful mind will only bring aches and pain,
trouble and distress
but a heart that dreads mediocrity is
free to explore even the uncultivated land of life
When I sleep it's only for a few hours 
Not that I suffer insomnia
It's because there's a new dawn to wake up to

When The Flood Storms By Morayo Oshodi

It all started with a drizzling Some others considered it a trickling Until the buckets got filled from leaking Pregnant and swollen the ceiling So the waters broke, toh toh toh  Was the sound of a leaking ceiling. A rhythm worth freestyling. They say make hay while the sun shines. But none while the clouds gather It's been 7 days and your beaming self hasn't shown up instead you had your cousin blow the hay away. Its been 7 days..... Slow and steady drip, drop, top. The flood sneaked in without a storm. So you got caught up? in 7 hours of traffic? So you didn't drown? You could wade in the waters. Swimming was the highlights. And then Kayaking Oyinbo man. Free movie ticket and popcorn? Perhaps for Isoken . Will flooded cinemas go.

What is your Plan Krispy Kreme?

I have never really been a sweet tooth perhaps because I spent the better part of my time filling or extracting a tooth. The last time I did that I was busy looking for discounts from a student doctor in LUTH who helped me fill my tooth, whew! Thumbs up to all these student doctors who have large hearts. Will talk about how I fell in love with a doctor on the next episode. Back to the matter I just had my first box of Krispy Kreme and I'm like ki le le yi? (What is this) my eyes were popping as I bit into every piece. So, my friends, Dee and Jee got me the box of Krispy Kreme on 26th of March 2018. That early Monday morning on our way to work they greeted me with a box of happy icing glazed doughnuts there and then I knew my week was going to be a sweet one, yea I'm like that - let me just tie it to that. I quickly thought of the best way to eat them, I was going to share some with my colleagues and eat 2 pieces of doughnut max 3 because after 3 rounds I'm satiated - ...
