Heeeey! I hope your week is going great so far.

Remember "Poetry Wednesday"?? Yeah, it's a segment I started on the blog a while back before I was abducted by aliens... Since this blog is both a poetry and fashion blog I kind of want to strike a balance, create as many poetry posts as those I create on fashion.

Blah blah blah... 

From now on I will not only feature my poems on "Poetry Wednesday", I thought it would be cool if I introduced to you other poets, sooooo without further ado... Below are two poems written by an amazingly talented young man called Brian Omoto, besides being a poet he is an artist, a writer, a painter... I love these pieces, you'll love them too, I know it! :-)

I listen to my mind speak
I try so much to get sense in it
I know what it speaks in it sense makes sense
With so much logic I already know what to do

I listen to my heart speak
There is not much sense in it
He expresses it with so much intimacy
Seeing him all this mushy, now I know how he feels

I listen to myself speak
I am really not sure of what to think
I am trying to make sense in it
And I realize, he is so warm and affection about it

~O~

Happy Hump Day! :-)

I think besides poetry and fashion, what I love most is art... Paintings, drawings... Take me to an art gallery and watch me get goosebumps while staring at different pieces.

I count myself very lucky to have a friend who is an amazingly talented artist, his art is so... Awesome is an understatement. Eli seriously deserves to be recognized and celebrated as one Kenya's best artists.

 I heart this piece created by him, it goes by the name "Afro-red-eyed-beauty"

You say this is wrong

Why then does it feel right

You slam my door and leave

Why then do you always come back

Why do I feel an emptiness when you are gone

Why does my heart race when someone mentions your name

Why do I long for your knock on my door

Why do I let you in over and over again

Why do you let me kiss you the way I do

Why do you let me touch you the way I do

Why do you let me uncover your nude

Why do you let me own you the way I do

Why do we say to each other

But below a whisper... 'I love you'

Why don't we fight for this love

This love the world does not accept.

Hi everyone! Welcome to another edition of "Poetry Wednesday". I'm hoping your week is going great, mine is... "Just there" ha huh!

Here's another sapphic poem, unlike in Below A Whisper {1} where I used the third person point of view in writing, here I used the second person point of view, mainly, in order to make you, the reader, understand the persona more.

See, I use poetry to express my thoughts on different issues and my perspective on things that go on in our world today. I believe that before you judge someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes,yeah, but then again, your feet may be bigger than theirs or smaller... None of us can really know what it feels like to be anyone else, right?

As I was writing Below A Whisper {1} and {2}, I put myself in the shoes of a woman who loves a woman, that's the beauty of poetry I think, you get to become anyone or anything you like in your imagination and through that, you get to understand someone who was like you, in your imagination, in reality.

 ~O~

Thanks for stopping by! Welcome again :-)

Greetings earthlings! :-)

It's been a while since I shared something on men's fashion, in fact the first and last time I wrote an article on men's fashion was here.

In today's world, bags are no longer seen as solely a woman's item, this is evident when we look at men of fashion, they know that a bag has become a necessary tool and style accessory.

Men's bags are masculine, attractive and ideal additions to any modern wardrobe. Now, the perfect bag, in my opinion needs to be stylish and practical with internal functionalities as well as outside pockets. It should reflect the clothes a man wears, as it can complete a look if used correctly. The following are six bags that can easily be mixed and matched with official and casual outfits :-

This is a bag with a laid back style, it has a classic casual flair and can be used to exude a hint of urban sophistication.

Oh! How I heart men who carry holdalls!!!

A holdall is perfect for every man and can be carried with a casual weekend wear or business casual attire.

 

Modern day briefcases have evolved a great deal, they are no longer boxy, with sharp corners, they have practical interior compartments and a stylish exterior. The modern briefcase works for any man with an official outfit.

 4. Tote

A tote is the modern approach to the classic briefcase. The tote is the bag to carry when you are going for a casual-business attire.

This bags style is perfect for the student on the go, it makes a fashion statement and exudes a lot of masculinity.

Now this bag, also known as a man purse has raised eyebrows questions on masculinity when carried by men, it has even received a bad reputation for being ultra female... Anyway, the good news is that it is currently a fashion necessity and slowly becoming socially acceptable.

The murse is designed to hold the modern mans wallet, keys, sunglasses, cellphone and... Whatever else men carry, I don't know ha huh!

~O~

A bag should be a tool that make life easier, not a luggage that ways you down, before you purchase a bag, ask yourself what statement you want to make with it, ensure that it will compliment your personal style too.

I hope you enjoyed this post boys! If you have any questions or an addition, feel free to share because I have not highlighted all the "man bags" here, leave a comment below.
