Poetry | Swahili

"Mfame - Nilipumzika" is the modern Swahili poetry book from a multi-talented poet, writer, producer, composer, musician, and captain. This book is set apart from other Swahili poetry books because the author employed creative writing techniques to spice up the book, such as fusing proper Swahili vocabulary with street Swahili colloquial terms that are used in daily life. The poems in this collection have various feelings, as the author incorporated poetry from several years ago and poems he wrote recently. To make this book suitable for readers of all ages, the author chose language that is accepted by society as a whole. This book is also appropriate for scholars learning Swahili because the poems are simple to sing along with and the language is easily understood. In each poem, the author has included "Mfalme na Kasuku" cartoons to provide you with additional entertainment and a better comprehension of each one as you read this book. For readers who do not understand street Swahili, the author has included a lexicon of Swahili slang terms in the book's final pages so they can fully comprehend each poem.
