Kumasi, the Tree City, The Kingdom City with a divine eagle Standing bravely on a mighty stick, The unquestionable love that embraces The soul of the arch enemy, The tradition that swallows The ancient courage and modern pride, Kumasi, the Tree City, The mighty city that lies under The flying wings of the Beautiful Okumanin tree, The golden city of the Western Sudan Planted by the arm of the Almighty, You are truly the dwelling Abode of unity and majesty, Kumasi, the Tree City, The echoes of your ancestral spirits Do not sleep nor slumber You that provides a comfortable Seat for the grandson of The almighty Krobea Asante Kotoko, The modern pride of the great Ancient mother of Yaa Asantewaa, Kumasi, the Tree City, The great son of the vulture, Otomfuo Osei Tutu, may not Appreciate your present State of modernization, For you have surrounded T he Golden Stool with Carelessness and filth, Your crime rate has swept Away the memories of The great Okomfo Anokye, Kumasi, the Tree City, Oh, the inhabitance under the protective And motherly wings of the great tree, The Ayoko kingship deserves a clean land, This great city must regain Her serene and inviting sweet-scented Greeny and stable environment, For mother Ghana has always Pride herself in your glory and dignity, Kumasi, the Tree City, The precious eye of Asanteman, Never deny your former glory, Oh, the pride of West Africa You still have what it takes To be the Garden City of West Africa, You are Oseikrom indeed, Okumaninase, the capital city of Kwaman, The heart of the Republic of Ghana. © PRINCE NANA ANIN-AGYEI Email: [email protected]

Within a thick and spreading hawthorn bush That overhung a molehill large and round, I heard from morn to morn a merry thrush Sing hymns to sunrise, and I drank the sound With joy; and often, an intruding guest, I watched her secret toil from day to day— How true she warped the moss to form a nest, And modelled it within with wood and clay; And by and by, like heath-bells gilt with dew, There lay her shining eggs, as bright as flowers, Ink-spotted over shells of greeny blue; And there I witnessed, in the sunny hours, A brood of nature’s minstrels chirp and fly, Glad as the sunshine and the laughing sky.

lion king...or not?
A merry forest pig was he he woke up very early and hunted until three snorting, sniffing, the air he's whiffing never is he ruffled, only focused on his truffles He goes **** rumping grunt, grunting for truffle - O's! Wild he runs and trots the greeny forest with a jolly jig he wriggles and digs his cloven hooves moving dirt like lightening hunt, hunting for truffle - O's! When at last he finds his gourmet morsels a squeal is heard and fly the birds clear from the forest, a happy hog a squealing song of treasures found, his beloved Truffle - O's!

Truffle - O's! (excerpt from children's story)
Years and months of tidy weather. A sunny and partly sandy time Where did it all go? The breath? There was no rain on my heart! There was no greeny leaves on my garden Like the desert with deserted heart Then there was a rainy cyclone It poured out with a thundering storm The first day storm was cool and calm. The second day was with heavy lightening Why does it sound like thunder & blow like a lightening There grew a little tiny seed inside the sand The wet, rainy, eroded sand gave a little light of life. The patchwork of the untamed desert; The cyclone doesn't last long, knew the desert; Could it be more alluring & enduring? Do you say no to a thunder storm on a desert? The desert cooled and calmed. The rays of hopes & the pointy days with blacky clouds Cloude move but not the rain; Everyday it rained; somedays were sunny; Desert knew the rain will stop one day. But it started believing that the rain will last. On a day when the rain went to the deepest of the sands. How could there be water on a unwatered area? Melted the poor sunny day light desert. Then the subsequent day it stopped raining suddenly; It was all sunny, dry and hot again. But it was not like the time before the cyclone. There was wet in the deep sand. There was a leefy seed with blossomed flower; All of them in despair, in confusion, terror. It was a catastrophe for the desert's soul. The cyclone will never know what made this catastrophe; For it never looked back at the desert's aftermath; The desert got the new ray of acceptance; It actually grew and groomed, made more of itself; Spread more cacti, cactus & wildflowers; It was dry on daylight & cool at night; The stars & the sun grew brighter on the desert. The desert started making more of sandstorms & laughed; It was what it was & what it will be with or without the rain. The desert know that now. It's a good thought; The desert is overwhelmed with joy & happiness; For it will find it's own companion one day who stays; But the desert thought sometimes; "one last time, will you rain again?"

One last time
Years and months of tidy weather. A sunny and partly sandy time Where did it all go? The breath? There was no rain on my heart!

rice fields
Her brother's vinegar-soaked-oven-baked conker conquering all other conkers. The moment held on a a string before swinging to collision like a cartoon pOW!wOW!baMMM! She cuts her chestnut carefully in two. The popped out conker ...her baby in its greeny spiky pram. She talks to it. Kisses it. "Shhhh...baby a sleeep!" Her brother's marble a blue and cold world propelled by a swift deft flick of a bitten-to-the- quick thumb the little blue world inches relentlessly towards scattering all be- -fore it: when worlds collide. A solar system destroyed. He now the conquerer of conquerers. She places her marble gently in her other spiky green pram like she's rearing an alien. She's got two babies. One a conker...the other a marble. She takes good care of both of them. Worries about their well being. Loving them for what ...they are. She watches the world through the eye of the marble a tiny blue universe held in her palm.

SHE PLAYS WHAT SHE PLAYS
O, how I admire the flower larkspur   Anytime   I sit on the greeny meadows in despair! Larkspur, a beautiful, lovely fragrant flower thou art with other flowers I compare. Moments unforgettable in blooms berry, larkspur!    Jasmine, daisy and lily of the valley, the flowers that care Larkspur, a flower so dear and rare   Admired at the sight of bloom, but forgotten soon at noon, blur O, how I long to smell the sweet fragrance of larkspur in the time I spare Of all natures beautiful flower is larkspur   The symbol of love, binding couples so dear The uniqueness of larkspur I cannot compare So clearly depicting the true nature of love I declare, sincere The bride’s bouquet hailed, kissed and preferred but at noon, marred Symbolizing the truth of love, I pondered, larkspur Love, so unrequited and err Fleeting love, takes wings, stirred, like a butterfly on larkspur Gear towards love's hidden truth, clear Everything in larkspur has a lesson to spare, stare! Attractive, adorable, wonderful, sweet scented flower, larkspur Gorgeously adorned on the bride’s hair; in fair to glare Rose flower and larkspur, a perfect pair! Unrequited love, so impaired and blur Stained by man’s feeble love affair, bizarre. Larkspur, not a flower mere; to the brokenhearted, repair    The brokenhearted's nightmare, larkspur! Flaring mixed moments of happiness of the lover’s vows, glare   Drawing sad tears to the eyes, where vows are broken, there! Stare at the wedding pictures in eyes blur, here… The shining diamond ring and the beautiful bridal bouquet; larkspur, tears incur Now, fleeting love mystery and vanity bare True perfect love non - existent; rare, but where? Sphere of unrequited love revolve around me, as I stare at this larkspur, now aware! Augustus  Quaicoe

Fingers locked      in female hands a riddle    like legs     free of clothes    crumpled jumpers      in a corner resembling a salad of what-the-hell-went-on last night   greeny-reds.    Dolled up bees' knees      next time not a person to     impress or   dazzle   with a fedora    top-shelf aftershave charcoal-black shoes gobbling this week's wages. Miss your     mouth                               completely see if you   tick the thirty-one boxes      know nail polish      birthdays better than second-hand lips   and teeth   and tongues    and lips stash wit in a drawer humour   under the bed. Spot the odd   one   out like finding a disease      in a bloodstream always observe      an   owl   in the room    watch others hurl feelings I miss   you's   about gobbledygook resort to stories      only your pillow knows they want the     fire not a                           lonely snowman.

Nature is everything From tiny protozoa to the largest whale Even the simplest insects Contain elegent complexity Beauty in even the most ugly beast. Peaceful, quiet and beautiful is Nature calm, Like a natural healing balm, From the largest beast to the smallest fly; Under Mother Nature’s air so sweet and high! The mist, the moon, the stars, and the night, Are Mother Nature’s biggest delight! The light, the sun, the rays, And light of the first morning’s day, Are all a part of beauty; Nature is a beautiful treasure to see! Nature is my favorite theme, The morning is Mother Nature’s greatest scheme! The leaves are falling from the trees, And land inside the blue-green seas. Blue-greeny seas and red firey stars Dancing fish and snarling wolves A little red fox trotting across cold snow A flash of bold crimson in an icy white land The aurora borealis and corona of the sun The swirl of galaxies floating unfettered Crashing into one another and stars dancing between them Even these touch upon nature A sort of large scale metaphor for the people of Earth The whole of Mother Nature, Her essence, and the ideas around her Stretching into the greatest star and the smallest seed The essence of life subtly covers all Echoing the shapes and spirals Mountains high and valleys low, Spiders and creepy crawlies Soft minxes and gentle pachyderms A world of life in even the tiniest Drop of water or crumb of dirt All this beauty and wonder Falls in Gaia's realm A sunrise in the sky, Birds chirping in the trees so high, The sun reflecting on the sandy shore; It also hits the forest floor. The hot and dry desert with scorching sand, The long miles of vast-bare land, Only a few birds chirp in the air; There’s no water over there! The mountains of powder white, Are so pretty even at night, When owls do roam and birds doth sleep; In trees on mountains steep. Cats that are a homeless stray, Still walk onward even in the cold day, They sleep outside at night; No one should make them homeless they have no right! Mother Nature mourns when she sees cats not treated kind, Still she walks onward through the wind, She looks onward crying; Watching sick animals dying. Help this earth become a better one, Until then our work may never be done, The sun may never fade away; Or the sky ever become gray, But help keep Mother Nature from crying; As she watches sick animals dying.

i saw the autumn leaves f   A      L         l like downy rain. they crinkled and fell softly to the Green earth. silently surrendering their souls to a GRAVE of brown ashes. simple stories, they all possessed tragic in nature... the green leaf filled with ENvy, cried out, "why should the brown fall first, why not I!" He lay alone to fall by his lonesome self, turning brown as he imagined, only to fall by himself like a lonely book on an aching self. the orange one desired to be like the sun, she saw the dawn a glow with ORANGE delight, and wanted to fly up there in the bluey sky... the red loved her soft home amongst the tallest branch she out cried as he let her go, to fall among the ashes of others, her beauty was FINE, only at a glance. It died as she drifted farther from her last chance...   the one that mesmerized me the most, was the Brown one, He D R I F T E D across the morning air dreaming of a long awaited rest.                                                    d he had dangled and F            e                                    l      A t                                       o                                              from, west                      to                  east          his journey was L                      O              N            G. but he found no wrong in his life, only joy, he cared no more of Vanity, or GREED, or the wonders of the Sky. he had lived his life in these heights and he long to rest among the Greenly pastures of life. God blew a soft wind and lifted him off course, he now drifted to the greeny land and laid there, in pure BLISS he was not worried of the fall or his homely grave, he dreamed of the simple pleasures of this Bark filled home and drifted away like an aerial nomad in gay nature.

My teeth are smiling back at me From a glass beside the bed I wonder "Do they look that bad" "When they're positioned in my head?" They looked all kind of cloudy ***** brown, and green I think I need to change the way I make my teeth get clean Right now I use polident To make my choppers shine But, if this is the way that they turn out I'm embarrassed that they're mine I took them out and washed them off I stuck them in a glass of bleach I thought, "This will make them whitey white" The colours will all leech Out of my clean choppers And will brighten up my smile Then you'll see me from afar Well, at least a half a mile I left them for two hours and they came out brown and green I thought, they look no better now They look totally obscene I even took to painting them A glorious shade of white I left them on my workbench To dry and harden overnight They still look brown and greeny Like they were buried in the yard I swear, I've never had a thing That's made me work so hard I cannot put them in my mouth with out cleaning off the crud It's looks like I am smiling With a mouth that's full of mud I took a pad of wire wool And scrubbed them like you do They didn't get much brighter But, now at least...they're blue I went down to the chemists To get something for my teeth I needed something powerful To relieve me of my grief The chemist said "please shut your mouth" "You're scaring all who passes" "Your teeth are oh so snowy white" "The dirt is on your glasses!!"

My teeth
My teeth are smiling back at me From a glass beside the bed I wonder "Do they look that bad" "When they're positioned in my head?"

After breakfast after doing shopping for your mother you met Fay on the grass in front of Banks House and you lay there looking up at the summer sun and white clouds and the sound of trains shunting over by the railway yard and Fay said my daddy says I’m to be able to recite the Pater Noster in Latin by the time he gets back from his work travelling what the heck’s the Pater Noster? You asked looking at her sideway her pale features catching your eyes her blue eyes gazing at the sun it’s the Our Father in English she said what’s the big deal? You said doesn’t God understand English? sure He does she said but Daddy wants me to learn the Latin he said all good Catholic girls need to know their Latin what’s kiss my **** in Latin? You asked she looked at you and laughed shyly and said I don’t know ask your dad You said I wouldn’t dare she said looking away back at the sky does he know Latin your dad? You asked some he does she replied but he wouldn’t know that I shouldn’t think maybe you should learn that and say that you him instead of the Pater Noster she looked anxious I wouldn’t dream of it she said and as you both lay there on the grass she moved her leg and you saw a blue bruise on her thigh turning greeny yellow but you said nothing of that but talked how your old man had made you a blue metal money box to keep your pocket money in and she listened in silence her pale features and blue eyes holding your eyes as you spoke looking along her lime coloured dress at the leg showing the bruise still there like a fallen fruit and she smelt of apples freshly picked and held to the nose better go she said best learn this Latin before his return and off she walked across the grass waving to you as she went and you blew her a kiss from your palm but she had gone but at least You said gazing at the sky it’d been sent.

FAY AND THE PATER NOSTER.

Before my father died I bought a *** with a small plant, a fragile sapling with pale green dotted leaves. He came to my place to see me, bringing a slice of watermelon with jagged green stripes on its rind. He placed it in the fridge and looked at me, asking with stern eyes: “Do you forgive me?” I didn’t understand his words and I answered “Yes” with all my heart, stabbed by his stare that moment. He died a few days later, after calling me on the phone, saying that I should move into another house. I did that, taking with me from that place my small green plant beginning to rise. I placed it on my desktop, letting it grow... leaf after leaf from her thin stem, like a stairway. Eight years passed and she’s my only child, my only friend, my only lover. She grew steadily and slowly, I changed her compost a few times. She’s still here, my small calico greeny treasure. Two years ago I became a proud grandmother for three new shoots, stemming at her feet. I had to tie it to a plastic stick to help it grow up And when I look at it I still can see my father’s eyes, taking hold of my heart.

Stripes and Dots
There is the tree-- it juts out of the earth, a sword in the stone. Alone in a field of green grass, alone amongst the flowers, the emboldened plumage. The leaves, greeny finery, ancient and reborn age after age, sag beneath the weight of the breeze and the clouds.

REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE FLOATING IN THE SKY, SO FAR ABOVE THE GROUND WHEN YOU COULD FLY, THE COLOURS WERE GREENY BLUE WITH A LIGHT HUE, YOU COULD NOT LAND, THERE WAS NOTHING YOU COULD DO. REMEMBER HOW THAT YOU DIDN'T WANT TO WAKE, NOTHING TO TOUCH YOU AND NO ONE TO SHAKE, YOU COULD SEE JANE WATERING THE GARDEN FLOWERS, IT WAS EASY TO GUIDE WHEN YOU HAD SPECIAL POWERS. A WHISPER IN THE EAR PRODUCED A YELLOW BREEZE, MADE THEM BELIEVE AND GET DOWN ON THEIR KNEES, I BLEW A FLUFFY CLOUD AND GAVE THEM ALL RAIN, IT PASSED QUICKLY AND THEN THE SUN CAME AGAIN. I REMEMBERED IT ALL WHEN I WAS A BOY, NOW THERE'S NO MORE TIME LEFT TO FLY AND ENJOY.

How high can you swing? Helen asked high as the clouds I said she frowned bet you can't she said I'll show you I said and so we went to Jail Park via Bath Terrace and took up 2 swings next to each other and we pushed off the ground and off we went and she said high as a cloud? I bet not and so I swung back and forward and higher and higher and she beside me pushing herself as high she she could her brown sandals and white socks (greyish) pointing skyward and her greeny dress flapping in the air and my black scuffed shoes reaching for the sky my grey socks poking out at the ends of my blue jeans my arms linked the chains of the swing and I pulled back and forth and she did likewise but slower and I said I am touching the clouds see no you're not you're no where near she said she lay back and then shot forward pushing the chains of her swing as she went then she fell backwards and her legs caught in the chains held her there dangling and I jumped off (nigh breaking my neck) and stopped her swing and there was blood in her hair and she was crying and I picked her up and dusted her down and took out an old handkerchief and dabbed her head and it went red and she hobbled with me to the first aid lady in the small building over by the edge of the park and she said o what have we here? she fell off the swing I said and Helen was crying and I sat her down in a chair and held my handkerchief to her reddening hair.

THE SWING 1955
The World talks about pollution  But still there is no solution  The world behind is so green  But the fire and smoke make it grim Oh! there was a beautiful linden But the hazy smoke made it hidden Presuming the world will end one day And there would be no body even to say  The smoke was so much pernicious Which turned into distress and was serious  Tis our obligation not to feel ignominy  But to look forward to make the earth greeny This smoke will make us one day motionless If we do pollution and remain being careless  Let me warn you it is a slow poison Even more dangerous than the nuclear fusion!!! At night the fire became so intense  That gave a scene of joy and tense In pale moonlight it looked so grey Which was due to the burning of ******* and hay The smoke arose and arose so high  That covered the stars in the sky  Oh! God I wish it should go to space  And save some years for the earth to face
