In @SamsonAkintokun's words, "my creativity is unboxed...art meets inspiration anywhere for me." Even when I'm breezing away on motorbikes.💀😂

Our surroundings inspire creative expressions and equally fuel artistry. Everyone has a corner that allows ingenuity and brilliance bloom. Tell us, do you have a creative haven where art meets inspiration?♥️

I kept pointing up and saying "Moon. That's the moon." while I carried her in my right arm until she pointed to it and screamed "moon!" too. We're indoors now but she won't stop saying moon. New word. Big baby. Big vocabulary.

My poem "A Lacuna" got accepted & published on Muse Journal No.51 & subsequently won the Fidelis Okoro Prize for Poetry. I'm indeed chuffed that my attempt to experiment the use of IRAC —one method of resolving legal problems —in the poem was appreciated.

For Day 3 of the #AfricanPoets2024, I'm highlighting the work of the poet’s poet, @Gbadenaija in @Sarabamag sarabamag.com/morningside-pa… Incredible poet. His work and his life have taught me everything.

In this touch, my hand is a voice, it lifts itself like wind and touches the woman’s face.

The goal this year is simple: Carry African poetry on my head like hair. Let's start a 30-Day challenge: Tweet a poem by an African poet (that's not you), and use the hashtag #AfricanPoets2024 every day in January. Who wants to join me?

I just reread Rudy Francisco's I'll Fly Away as my first book of the year. It's the ease, that's the best thing about it. It feels like something you could write but uh😂 probably not because it is already a sign of immense skill to make something difficult look so easy.
