Burst of the Bubble

Life, a bubble
That brings a struggle
The bigger it grows
The thinner it gets
Till it bursts
Then a shout of wailing
Now an eternal serenity
For man forgets too soon
The memory of the late
But sweet is the remembrance of the saint
To be or not to be
A man of good report
Depends on how we treat
The message of faith we preach

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.
