Opportunity knocked,
Sat,
Got into bed with me.
I rolled away,
Waiting
For Opportunity to touch me
Tap me
Roll me back round and
Give of herself to me.
But
Opportunity didn’t.
She saw me asleep
And Opportunity doesn’t wait for you to be awake.
So she got up and left.
I got up and ran
After her
But Opportunity was gone.
Opportunity waits for no-one.

I'm just a simple soul dying to write and held back by my own fears...fears that I am overcoming, one word at a time.
Stories calm me and help me make sense of the world around me.
The author, Anne Fine, once said, 'Write the book you would most like to read... If it doesn't interest you while you are writing it, it's hardly likely to interest anyone else.'
So this is my writing space, where I write what I would most like to read.
Roast Corn and Ube reminds me of moonlit nights when stories were told with the opening chant - Story! Story!! Story!!!.
So I write, hoping to reach out to like-minded souls or even unlike-minded souls to create our own moonlit nights with roast corn and ube.
Kindly join me as I write and we read together...
Story! Story!! Story!!!

Can I capture opportunity? Hold it hostage? Imprison it until I am ready to avail myself of it? What if as it attempts to roll away, I lasso it and tie it to my waist? What if as it gets up to leave I push it back down? What if I can outrun opportunity, so that no matter which way it goes or how far it runs, I will always catch up to it?
Do I belong to opportunity or does it belong to me? Do I bow to it or does it bow to me. More importantly, do I create opportunity or does it create me?
