After three months of long rains
The land is a sodden bed
Of dried pond. The tarred roads shine
Fine threads of steam to the air.

The playgrounds jump and chatter
With the presence of children
In games abandoned yesterday
When the sky was falling tears.

The streets bustle with vendors,
Calling their wares by sweet names;
And the radio shops yell out
The rival sounds of highlife
AUGUST BREAK
Okogbule Wonodi
I met an old woman
Taking to herself
Down a lonely road.
Talking to herself,
Laughing all the time,
Talking to herself
Down a country road.
Child, you cannot know
Why folks talk alone.
If the road be long
And travelers none,
A man talks to himself
If showers of sorrows
Fall down like arrows
The lone wayfarer
May talk by himself.
So an old woman
On old country roads,
Laughing all the time,
May babble to herself
To keep the tears away.
Woman, you are sad!
‘Tis the same with me.
 R. E. Armattoe.
The lonely soul
