She Has Short Legs

She has short legs

And she has big hips

She’s got a decent nose

And she’s got more than eight toes

She has tremendous lips

And still just a single nose

And I am not sure where it goes

She has a hundred teeth

And almost as many fingers

That’s why when men look at her

Their stare still just lingers.

David Schwartz

About Ijagun Poetry Journal

Ijagun Poetry Journal is a quarterly journal that provides a platform from which we can tell our own stories in the authenticity of their multiplicity through the poetic medium. We don’t want to hear these stories from our master “griots” alone; we want to hear from those mastering their art, too. Hence, we aim at publishing new and emerging poets. We also welcome the works of established poets in order to encourage the poetic genius of those mastering poetic art. We prize original works that conform to, break or reinvent conventions. Again, we accept reviews and critical essays on poetry. We also accept powerful art works and photographs that make us appreciate the "poetry" in everything.
