Dowell Ighohwo Oba Poems Multi-Category Countries Member Profile I am a male English and Literature student of the great University of Benin, Benin-city, Nigeria. I enjoy writing poetry in a solitudinal and peaceful environment, at intervals during my study sessions and spare time, as well as when struck suddenly by the inspiration to write a poem on thrilling issues I find worthy. Sometimes the words just come running down my veins, as if being dictated from within, and I immediately reach for my pen and paper. To me, writing poetry is like floating to the realm of the supernatural and the intellectual. 169 poems online - viewed: 39792 times. 3 other documents online - viewed: 1747 times.
