This is a triumph of the written word, Reggie! I love your parallelism between national unity and the act of romance. It shows your potential as a great poet so don't stop whatever you are doing, because it is working! Broaden your horizons as a poet in perpetual learning and you will be surprised at what you can create with simple words. Ayekoo!
Reggie, in my earlier remark, i compared you to the US poet, Giovanni, but bear in mind that you are yourself and brilliant. Keep it up, my local boy [i mean you dont live far from me in Kumasi].
Poetry at its best. While reading, I fell into a trance. A kind of feeling gripped me - indeed I fell in love. 'People' is unique, however it gives me a similar taste of a typical Nikki Giovanni verse. Keep it up Mr Poet.
Love this poem. It reminds me of rhetoric of Gwendolyn Brook's "We Real Cool" (http://www.poets.org/poet.php/prmPID/165) but as a love poem.
