Headlines (poem)
It saddens
Horse rides 'rider'
Worm eats pig
Ward slaps parent
Son curses mum
Dad docks daughter.
Goat eats kid,
Leaving straw fallow.
Dog eats babe
Servants manage master,
Pupils beat teacher.
It saddens
When tenants
Share landlord's gold.
Vehicle drives 'driver'
When anarchy turns government
Future swaps for pleasure.
- Adeshina Olusanya
from: Hues Lane (2006) P.12

Diomedes (poem)
Ah! Trojan battle...
Rider slumped as Hector struck.
Horse stopped, wept and fled.
