The poet I choose is Jude Itakali. You can find him in this space here.
you
deftly
combine forms
enhance beauty
of each genre
creative expressions-
prose and poetry flowing
into each other – makes me think
This is life – incomprehensible
in a single font or script, incomplete
without myriad variations
of love, joy, pain and emotion
How can I un-weave textures
to examine each thread
warp and weft – to know
Maker’s intent
and does it
matter
now?

I was not familiar with this poet. I’m learning so much in this prompt and getting introduced to so many poets. I love what you’ve written here to introduce me to the poet: most especially these words:
“This is life ā incomprehensible
in a single font or script, incomplete
without myriad variations
of love, joy, pain and emotion”
