  • Bride cries everyday after wedding

    Bride cries everyday after wedding

    image

    Marriage is a thing of joy and most times,the bride cries, I mean tears of joy.
    Yeah! Weddings are usually accompanied by tears,but the brides and females of the people of Tujia in China take matters to a whole new level.

    Starting one whole month in advance the bride starts to cry for 1 hour everyday. Ten days into the ordeal the mom joins the picture, and then ten days later the grandmother does the same. By the end of the month every female in the family is crying alongside the bride . Why? Well, it’s actually supposed to be an expression of joy as the women weep in different tones, kind of like a song,but we call it the ” weeping tone”.

  • Hero!

    I signed in as a writer for a competition,and so I wrote this poem,knowing fully well that not all,will make it to the finals.

    I wrote this to support and encourage the ones going to be dropped out of the competition.

    And well,the good news is,I made it through to the finals.
    Enjoy!

    You ain’t the best in class but you’re in for the finals.

    You were once mocked for being a failure,but you made it here

    You started from the scratch,now you made it to the top

    You were perplexed,deppresed,felt like giving up,but hey you made it.

    And the haters? What about them? Can they stand you now?

    Now you’re celebrated for being a survival,for failing to be a failure.

    And even if you don’t make it tonight,you’re still a winner

    Because you carry the sword of a warrior,and you speak the words of a legend

    We all here ain’t graduating with a first class but we have been tagged  talented ones.

    Can’t you see there’s a hero in you,you were born great

    You can move mountains

    Many of you may think this is Just a saying,but I speak firm words

    Great ones,the time has come to unleash that potential you carry.
    you’re not ordinary,You’re extra-ordinary.

    There’s a potential in you,the world hasn’t heard about. Be ready to get your class strucked and elevated.

    There’s this hidden gift,that hasn’t been activated,go! Get them captivated it needs the inner you to get the fire burning.

    Some say writers are nobody,but I’m somebody. I’m precious

    I’m challenged whenever I see great poets speak

    It brings out the best in me, and I’m encouraged

    Never think you have arrived to deprive,you ain’t there yet,until you’re everywhere.

    There’s a big field out there,go ye there in and cultivate,and reap the fruit of the land.

    You possess so much more. It’s in you.

    The world awaits a great hero

    That hero is you!

  • This is for you…….

    I wake up with a beautiful smile each day,because I have this precious gift given to me by God himself

    And at night,I dream about us,with lovely kids,who have your lovely pointed nose and a pure smile

    You were sent to put me through in many rough aspects of my life,to support,help and teach me the hidden ways of life

    You’re every thing I ever wished for,a handsome young man with a matured mind, a gentle free minded person who also has a good heart.

    The part I like best,is when you say,you want me to carry our baby and that you can’t wait to have me to yourself

    And I’ll say,the time will come and pass and promises shall be fulfilled

    He loves me,and I do too

    Oh! He doesn’t like long poems,I should stop here
