The poem, Bottom Fish, Rises, describes a writer's connection to feelings and tasks associated with the discovery of emotions.


Poem Artwork

A writer's life is far too lonely,
Sometimes out,
But most times in,
then out again...
grasping life's essence of emotions,
like air for breathing.
The Bottom Fish rises
to socialize
among strangers and friends,
nurturing itself on ideas,
like a natural sponge,
embracing the status of "Chameleon."
Once full, it floats like  a puffer fish,
to a place of solitude to begin
the task of preparing language
that tells stories
of souls met along the way.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
