Celebrating Our Poets

At Yemipoet, we love poetry. We see the power of words and the emotions they hold. Every month, we organise poetry contest based on a given theme on Instagram @Yemipoet.  We receive at least a hundred poetry submissions, these poets share their piece and compete for the top 3 spot. September and October were no different. We had amazing entries from talented poets.

September Contest Winners

September was a month of creativity. The theme was 'Anger lies in the bosom of a fool'. 103 poets sent in their work. We read each poem with care. The judges had a tough time deciding the winners. In the end, three poets stood out.

  1. First Place: Odusina Oreoluwa - The Weight of Wrath.
  2. Second Place: Adetola Adesida- Anger in the Fool's Bosom.
  3. Third Place: Sewande Cadmus- Anger in the Bosom of a Fool.

We congratulate these poets. They showed great skill and passion. Their poems will inspire many.

October Contest Highlights

October brought new theme. Poets explored the theme from every angle. The entries were diverse and rich in emotion. Our judges were impressed by the depth of talent. Once again, we had three winners. Each poet brought something special to the table. Their work was a testament to their dedication.

October's theme was My Lord, My Sherperd. We have 193 amazing entries.
