\"to die,\" \"finish me, \"petty art,\" \"shame,\" these final stanza words present a bleak sadness within your poem. Coupled with your art, which to me seemed to paint a disappearing man, added to that sadness. Yet, the skill with which you articulate the feeling shows poetic mastery. A great poem. - Phil A.

Nigerian Dream: For Christopher Okigbo
sorenbarrett said:

The evolution of social progress is so slow in comparison to technological accomplishment. This gulf has created a threat to all of humanity. Such a beautiful yet fearful dream. It appears that Hermes left only some of his scrolls and the progress of the human soul for peace and human rights is up to us to discover.

I loved the pairings. Subtle yet to the point. A bit melancholic but also nostalgic in a way. Very nice

We all must sort this in our own way... In the meantime you\'ve wrought a delicate thing which notes without becoming maudilin.

Nigerian Dream: For Christopher Okigbo
AuburnScribbler said:

A powerfully written sonnet here jarcher54, written in a masterful tone, and is also a great tribute to Christopher Okigbo, let\'s hope an actual change for the better can occur, to fix certain messes, that are happening too frequently, all over the world.

Bravo, and I hope that all is well!

This haunting tale evokes many memories and the experiences that have gone with them. It is memorable that certain images bring back flashes from the past as well as people. These ghosts we carry with us always. Nice write.

Fantastic road trip down memory lane, brought alive by lookalike guests. Don\'t know how many times in the bar I\'ve gone through the roll-call of the departed. After ten, you usually get told to stop and get the drinks in. Covid sure did kill a lot of good people.

in view of you bumping into me earlier, whether intentionally or by accident, I subsequently felt somewhat obliged to return to a page where I felt really most comfortable for another peek, you understand .. and yes indeed .. they remain just as I previously left them .. darn near perfect ...

Gahh fantastic imaginings, haunting read with all those real people popping up in hallucinatory way but all which made the poem so enthralling. Ironical that you didn\'t believe in ghosts she saw but ended up seeing ghosts after her passing away. Kudos!

Grieving is such a familiar stranger, like an unopen\'d book gathering dust on a shelf. But once \'unfolded\' can be closed again and put away for good. There it goes in a shelf of other books on other circumstances of grief. Thanks for sharing, J. /Rik.

I came to the party a little late but wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this piece of poetry you wrote. The way you described things really brought the visuals to mind and I felt like I was there. I think we are always surrounded by ghosts and spirits - in one way or another. I think your friend Ann really appreciates this :-)

Sometimes we laugh when people say they see the dead. The conflict is when the visions appear before us, and we sort of have to admit, maybe to ourselves that she was right.
