Some of my Favourite Poems, V. "I love to redefine my poetry with rhymes. I don't like complicated words or confusing grammar. I love to appeal to my readers in simple words so they can think deeper than the words I used. I have nothing against big words, I am only saying I am redefining poetry for those who lose interest easily because they feel the big words make it confusing for them. It's my way of making everyone appreciate the power of words and poetry." - Olawalium. Here are some of the poems I've shared before and you can catch up on them below: Some of my Favourite Poems. https://read.cash/@Olasquare/some-of-my-favourite-poems-f146183c Some of my Favourite Poems, II. https://read.cash/@Olasquare/some-of-my-favourite-poems-ii-08ac9c2f Some of my Favourite Poems, III. https://read.cash/@Olasquare/some-of-my-favourite-poems-iii-acfe4ef9 Some of my Favourite Poems, IV. https://read.cash/@Olasquare/some-of-my-favourite-poems-iv-d4846d5b I call these some of my favourite poems which I've also shared on Hive before now.

Benefits! Benefits!* *Let life befit us, let us be fit for life,* *may our efforts gather in a great feat* *and blessings be upon our feet* *may joy be all over our sheets* *may peace spread on our streets* *when we are down, may we find lifts* *and in need, may we find gifts* *may we not lose our courage to contend for our daily bread* *and finally, may we find the hope we seek this day.* **I Feel You.**

You didn't set in with the sunset,* *Alas! The day took a new turn and* *the night danced to its sad music,* *you tripped and fell into the unexpected,* *you now sink in the sea,* *deep into the where no one can see.* *But yet, even till your last breath,* *I feel you.* *I feel you and I see the way you hold onto the last strand of hope.* *I feel you and I see your intentions so pure,* *but in this deep sea, where survival is not sure,* *I hope you still hold onto your hope.* *Maybe, just maybe I can feel your physical touch again.* **Beware.**
