""This is truly beautiful. I enjoyed the stream of consciousness and wordplay, which powerfully built up the feeling behind the words. I love how the author writes with some alliteration and sensory descriptions. ""I loved the imagery here: ""The ring of bellyful laughter, ""The beaming of a full moon on my face' ""Is this a poem or a story? I can't even tell!!! Why not both? It feels like the subject matter happened once upon a time."" - Chasejameson Manar Spears, Poet, Oakland, California, USA. ""The author has set a high standard to which African poetry should be written. Taking after Okot p'Bitek, the author has, however, heightened the language and the condensation of the expressions."" - Dr. Chris Okemwa, lecturer, Kisii University and poet.
