Our second guest blogger for this week is Kwame Pocho. Honestly, i’ve always thought of him as a computer whizz (which he is). In the couple of years I’ve known him I hadnt been privy to his literary prowess until I saw this piece of his. It was a facebook sensation, probably because of its uniqueness. It’s intriguing and very different from what you’re used to. I got him to allow for you to see it. I also asked him to give us a gist of the story behind the story. He told me this;
“…This poem was how I summed up a conversation I had with my beloved. She actually tried to define why girls generally like bad boys. She said it was kinda like the way girls love heels; knowing very well “you can’t walk too far in heels” but you wear them anyway cos you know they make you look elegant, or at least make you feel elevated (both literary and figuratively speaking). That conversation was so intriguing I just had to put it together, and I made a poem out of it, just for the fun of it.”
Good good boys, Bad bad boys, a girl and her shoes~by Kwame Pocho
So she tell to me,
lemme tell to you why girls love them bad bad boys,
and don’t look at them good good boys;
She tell to me, think of boys as shoes:
Good good boys them like flat shoes;
them go take you far, comfortably.
Them are safe and dependable any day, any weather, 4eva!
Bad bad boys them like heels;
Your Doctor tell say them no good for your sole
