Poetry is a type of literature based on the interplay of words and
rhythm. In poetry, words are strung together to form sounds, images, and
ideas that might be too complex or abstract to describe directly. In
literary work, expression of feelings and ideas is given intensity by
the use of distinctive choice of words, style and rhythm belonging to
the genre of literature.A poem is a collection of spoken or written
words that expresses ideas or emotions in a powerfully vivid and
imaginative style. As a poet, and a lover of poetry, here are some
collections of my poems over the years as University lecturer of
English, the poems are mostly narrative as a linguist. In this
collection, I explored various themes, as birth, life and death, love
and hate, virtue, beauty, identity, religion, travels and journeys;
celebration, disappointment and failure among others.- "For academic,
for leisure and for the fun of it." O. Jason Osai
