Poetry
“Poetry is ordinary language raised to the Nth power~ Paul Engle
Bio
At the age of 9, Lucy Wache discovered her love for poetry, when she took part in a poetry recital competition. From that year on, through her primary and high school education, she was able to compete at the national level.
Lucy’s poetry is inspired by her faith and the prevailing socio-cultural, political and economic issues. Her poetry is in English and Kiswahili, though her love for Kiswahili is evident in her works; most of which have been featured on national television.
Spice up your event with a pinch of poetry and a sprinkle of spoken word.
Infuse some poetic magic into your scripts, screenplays and stories.
It just takes one click.

U’socialite’ Ni Nini?
Nimeamua kuipaza , hii mbiu ya mgambo; Nashindwa kunyamaza, lanikera hili jambo; Nawazua nikiwaza, fumbueni hili fumbo; U’socialite’ ni nini? Nimwelezeje wangu binti? Naomba usaidizi, kuielewa hii kazi; Shahada yao...
