Apologies from a poet

I don’t know where to start

But my anger sure went too far

Sorry to the people of TNP

But I had to say what,

I had to say, to get off my chest

Must have looked like a bloody mess

But here I am saying sorry

True apologies from a poet

Even if you didn’t notice me

But that was my argument poetry

I’m a poet damn it, hello I’m here

I should get a lot of credit you know

After poem after poem and nothing

Okay I’m sorry that was 

a cheap way of saying, how I feel

To cocky and rude but hey didn’t mean it

But truly in my sad little heart

I am apologising and no it isn’t

Any way of using it sarcastically

So I should just list it here and come forth

Realise my jealous behaviour

And apologise to those who I may have attacked

Sorry to Ismail it was just

mood swings of mines

It’s a woman thang

Sorry Hamza for objectifying you

But it’s your fault do you know

Your fitnah to the ladies

And sorry Pen ‘N’ Paper

That response to me was just beautiful

And I’ll always keep it with me

You swept me off my feet

You just smooth man

And I’ll like to say haha

To the women of this page and your fan base

PEN ‘N’PAPER WORTE A POEM ABOUT ME

To you three who are so talented

And the rest of the poets in this joint

Yes I said joint I can be hip to.

Somali-The nation of Poets

In our selves there’s a poet in all of us

With different flows and ways of the words

Stories and fantasies that we share  

Which are untold?

So Ramadan is around the corner

so please forgive me, and my childish ways

These are after all apologies from a poet

I’m sorry to you all and Thank you.
