INSPIRATION
Finding inspiration
In the midst of objection
Channels affection to the meaningless
And attention to the profitless
The feelings that envelope
The optimism that elopes
Succumb to the fear of annihilation
And the distress of renunciation
The silence of withdrawal
Reaches out to the voice of laxity
The utterance of affinity
Fetches an audience of insensitivity
The leaf that floats on the river of desolation
Hitches on the rock of expectation
Exalting its feet of abjection
Magnifying its air of inclination.
Well, this is my first ever poem I’m writing after I had inspiration from Jess, Obed and Josephine. I never thought of writing a poem in the first place.I think it’s an effort, I tried! I’m hoping my next poems would be better than this one.

Catholic Christian by faith, in the remotest part of Ghana 🇬🇭. I believe every day in life is a testimony. Life ceases when all the oxygen supposed to be inside your lungs is out.. Big brother to two siblings. 6 feet tall, Medical Doctor, Basketball lover 🏀 and Yes, I smile a lot! 😀
Very good effort for a first poem. Poetry is simply prose that is direct and emotion based. Take out ‘the’ ‘and’ ‘of’ ‘to’. Reduce the poem to the essence of your thoughts. You mentioned above to feel free to correct and shape your poem, so I took the liberty of doing so. I hope that is okay. Best wishes in your future poetry. I also love basketball.
In objection’s midst, found
inspiration channeled,
affection for meaningless,
profitless gain attention
eloped with optimism
feelings enveloped, succumb
to fear, distressed annihilation
renunciation of hope
silence withdraws support
voice of laxity outreach
utterances without affinity
insensitive audience fetched
upon turbid desolation, leaf
floats, river parts rock, expectations
hitch at exalted feet, abjection
magnifies air of inclination
