Praise Poems
Through Highest Heavens
by Abasiama Udom
Sounds of babes will ring through highest heavens,
calling man and beast to lay trouble and pain aside.
Calls of hallelujah will rise to the lamb upon the throne,
twenty-four constantly bowing, not a one in denial of his awe.
His truth and majesty reigning supreme.
Through highest heavens Hossana will rise to the throne,
nature and native land praising for beside him no one else is.
He is that is and is to come,
Bow! Worship through highest heavens.

Africa
by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
Africa,
I reconcile your genius with nostalgia,
perfervidity and relic lust;
your age with the whiteness
of a virgin void of earliness;
and your life with the tenderness
of the yolk of God.

African Cinderella
by Big Blob
African Cinderella.
She is as graceful as a swan .
Her beauty as rare as that of a peacock.
She quietly makes breakfast for her bitter father.
She pampers her cruel, uncaring sister's.
For to them she's just as worthless as the gum under their shoes.
But what they don't know is she is special.
Praise Be
by Yusef Komunyakaa
When the trees were guilty, hugged up
to history & locked in a cross-brace
with Whitman's Louisiana live oak,
you went into that mossy weather.
Did you witness the shotguns at Angola
riding on horseback through the tall sway
of sugarcane, the glint of blue steel
in the bloodred strawberry fields?

Blissful valley- Bumthang
by Kuenzang Dorji
in the southern chumey entrance
hello the swaying fagopyrum
in the eastern ura leasow
defy not the dance of yekos
in the northern tang Valley
treasure the life of arcadian
in the central Choekor valley
invoke the mighty lord

Leo Queen
by Kuenzang Dorji
Celestial season!
Folks; it is, on the rise.
Euphoria! Can you feel?
Say not no, for even universe do!
To the cheery songs of koels,
And thick petrichor of summer,
Blades are dancing- vibrant and gleeful.
Can you hear? Soothing babble of brooks.
Zion; for real, now we live!
From the skyline; adorned in aurorae,
