A poem to start with.
I know, which is why I don’t know - Tobi Akinpelu.
Who is an artist?
Being an artist is when you know something, and then you do it your own way. In the process of doing so, you are doing what you don’t know. Rules and Standards, fine. But I want to break it, stickily on my knee. Oceans are sweeping waters. Fire is kissing the matches, romanticism the matches.
Your search for the meaning in google dictionary, error 404, not found. So, where is it found?
Why is Prof Patrick, Prof Patrick Obahiagbon? Because only he can be Prof Patrick. Why is Burna Boy Burna Boy? Because He is not Davido.
Artistry begins with Khadosh.
Who is Khadosh? Is it really a question of who?
Khadosh is a Quality we all have and can tap into. You are a slice of the circle. Khadosh means Utterly Unique. The writer of this book, even me, I cannot compare to you. You are so different from me, yet we share common ground.
Writing Poems, I wish I had known this earlier, is about writing your higher voice. That voice(s) come into play in a—lined up time-points of our life.
In writing poems, the lesser p is copied poems, or perhaps A.I. generated poems. And I tag A.I. generated poems plastic because where is the source? If the source is artificial, put the artificial plant on one side and an actual original plant on the other.

Finding your own avoice, out of a voice, because nothing comes out of a void — Tobi Akinpelu.
This entire article is from a culmination of sands everywhere to make a complete mould. It’s not a copy of the text, but knowledge gained, experience lived, and then explained as my own is different. This differencing element is very embedded in our core. So different that you would wonder, is people thinking of it like I do?
The answer is: For example, think of a bird flying in the sky. The first thing that comes to mind. Hold it; stay there. Suppose you could draw. Can anybody else painting contain the same exact perspective on the canvas?
Simply say: to write, read. But if this is true, who was the first writer?
What is a Poem?
A poem is a letter that you find via the text but not the text. You don’t usually expect it. It just comes to you. Poem is like a realisation dress to wear. Poem is that thing that makes you wonder What is happening here?
THE SUMMARY
Reading is the fastest way.
The feeling of seeking approval is generic, especially for a first-timer. And before that, you might have wondered if you would be good at it.
Knowing how to write poems then sets us up to express emotions, thoughts, imagination and voice. This process can be therapeutic because we are creative because we express.

a poem is not poem enough
untill it carries the element of the poet who begets the poem.
What is a poet without a poem?
for a poem does not exist until a poet exist.
I write about a poet who begets a poem.
a poem that carries the stories of poet
a poem for every poem that was written
This is a poem for a poem.
for there's a poet for every poem
I am the personification of "poetry"!
For I exist in every element that writes
Every element that scribbles
Every element that soliloquies
For God is a poet!
He scribbles, He writes,
he soliloquies-
Ismail Moses.
I think this old but gold poem of mine is the perfect answer here!
