The heart of a weakling     Kamoyo   Hey guyysss! As promised, today I come to you with a poem written in swahili as per so many of you guys' requests. I know the language hits home but I lowkey cringed while writing this because somehow everything sounds a lot deeper in Swahili. That's our language y'all and I have to say, I really am proud of it.  Personally, I think Swahili is quite romantic *insert smiley face*, am I wrong?  Now, before some of you come at me calling me delusional and stuff I'd recommend you start listening to more meaningful swahili songs (most of them are old by the way) OR reading some poems written in the language. Trust me, this is something you won't regret. If interested in my 'recommendations' drop a comment below, email me, text or reach out to my insta page. Either way,  I'm not that hard to find. 

"The Bvsti in me speaks to the Bvsti in you" Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today is another good day for an #AfricanTuesday  poem! I hope you are as excited as I am! First things first, I apologise that this poem took way too long to be posted. A lot of things have been happening and I had to keep up with the busy schedule of my partner. Remember the partner, right? If not, don’t worry. I’ll remind you. From the last #AfricanTuesday poem titled  Binti from Abroad , I had promised to feature an amazing Nigerian writer on my blog. Could you guess who this person is? No? I thought so! He is none other than Kachikalum Asiegbunam. He is a passionate writer whom I admire. I am not even kidding you. His talent can awaken a dead soul and enlighten a darkened heart. Therefore, featuring him in today’s post is such an honour. Enough praises for one person. Let’s get down to Today’s post.  Today’s #AfricanTuesday poem is titled  The Melodramatic life ...

"She says Kitula is so barbaric, she goes by the name of Angel" -Binti from Abroad Welcome back to my  blog everybody. As an African writer, I've decided to try something new. I have started a hashtag #AfricanTuesdays where I'll be posting an African-themed poem every Tuesday. So welcome to my first #AfricanTuesdays ever. What do I expect to gain out of this? Well, I'm glad you asked. Being from Tanzania and all, I haven't been able to get the African feeling in most of the poems out there. Don't get me wrong, I know a couple African writers who strive to add that African feel in their poems. Well, I wanted to be one of those. I want to create a space where Africans can read something they can relate to not only emotionally but also culturally.  I mean think about it, Africa to the world. Okay, stop fantasizing now and let's get on with the poem. Today's #AfricanTuesdays Poem is titled BINTI FROM ABROAD. For some reason binti happens...
