Announcing last week’s reward winner.

We want to say a big thank you to everyone commenting and liking the posts; it sends a signal of encouragement. We appreciate all, and the money reward is to put action to it. We’ve selected three winners:

1 - Grace Boboye - $15: This poem is well written, imaginary and so relatable. Feels like I’m hearing the story of Solomon and Queen of Sheba newly but in a very interesting…

2 - Juliana Mbulwa - $15: Reading this was like attempting to read something engrossing only to realize you are reading a poem that is tied to a moving truck but you are unable to stop reading because it has

3 - Starburn - $15: Being a poet means being able to find simplicity and meaning in even the most difficult choices…I believe the simple one suits you more

Introduction

Dear reader, we’ve come again with a super-branded story. The kind of story that peppers the mouth. The story of King Solomon and Queen Sheba Episode 1 lays the foundation for the secret intentions and probably secret planning within the palace.

Starting…

Inner chambers of the Queen of Sheba, Episode 2.

Tobi Akinpelu.

Tint Tinta Tint Tint Tint Tint.
We Tint,
We fight,
We courage,
We fright,
We cry,
We light.

Dark canvas is the colour of the universe,
We are—the light in it. Colours.

Atoms are grinding molecules.
And we are here, doing nothing.

Terrorism in our world today 
is outright out of hand.
What can we do about it?

Is it even possible that there 
would be world peace?

Will it keep skyrocketing day by day,
Blasting off the roofs?

Or maybe we dance,
Jingling tingling,
Shackling of gold pipe winding lines.

Oh my gosh
I love poetry.
All of a sudden, I forget and remember.
I remember all the good times 
All the funny times,
All the swinky-ferilious times.
Sheba sings songs like corn. Corn maze with many seeds. Well baked, Well cooked, aroma for those who love to eat maize will know how it feels. Ravishing and Crunchy.

My Queen,
Your loyal servant is here, My Queen,
I have fresh tap water news.

My Queen, May I ask for a raise after this?
…You seem not to like your head any longer.
My Queen, I bring you good tidings.

Sparrow bird has brought news.
We hear of a royal banquet happening in Isreal,
Just three night and days journey from here,
King Solomon would be there to chair his friendly Kings.

My Queen, My Queen, (gasping for air) sorry to badge in,
This is a matter of Kingdom safety,
The big bell has been rung thrice,

Our soldiers are lining up.
The Amekshites have taken us by Surprise.
We are surrounded!

My Lord, My Lord, sorry for interrupting,
Four hundred of our men have been killed,
Our training camp, far east, has been raided.

Survivors reported one thousand Amekshites arose from 
the woods.
Amekshites are notoriously barbarians known for their unforgiving destruction led by Drakon, Son of Zaragorath, infamous for his ruthless and cunning strategies, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake as they conquer and plunder kingdoms. Drakon approaches from the east, Xander from the west, and Thorin, from the North —the last standing warrior of an ex-lost battle, full brown beard but a bald head, instilling fear in the heart of his enemies. Thorin is the Queen on the chessboard. He to wait until the Soldiers of Sheba are well spent.

The sound of war is a bulb switched off for the Queen, making you forget all night plans and arousing desires; although Makeda, Queen of Sheba, has won many battles, this would be her determining war. 

…Everyone, go to your positions, and close the gates!
…Asteroid, prepare your men and hold the fortress.

Next week is book Launch! 🔥

Damn! Is why does the war need to happen at this time? Don’t tell me this is how Queen Sheba will miss that banquet of love ooo. I am really looking forward to the magic she wants to create with King Solomon.

But those Amekshites guys are enemies of progress sha. What are they looking for all around. Can’t either Thorin, Drakon or Xander see the beauty of Queen Sheba? Is it that they don’t have inner eyes or do they have other agendas for the Queen too?

Maybe they’ve heard about her beauty and other exceptional abilities and they’ve come to make exploit before she goes off to King Solomon who already has 400 beauties.

Let’s see how this end. I’m here for it.
