“Someone mentioned your name today,
took me down memory lane,
to a time very much younger,
a time more pure, more sane.”
Adiela Akoo, Lost in a Quatrain

“You will be taken for granted.
You may be hurt to your very core,
and still be asked to give a little more!”
Adiela Akoo, Lost in a Quatrain

“I love listening to the sound of your heart beating, the comforting memory of a cuddling womb.”
Adiela Akoo, Lost in a Quatrain

“The pen, they say, is mightier than the sword, having the capacity to change narratives and landscapes. As writers, we have a moral responsibility to leave the world a better place”
Adiela Akoo

“One of the greatest ironies and
perhaps tragedies of our time
is when the AIs think
that WE are not human”
Adiela Akoo

“You imbibe your associations. Those people you closely connect with ... the conversations you have... all profoundly influence your thinking and actions. You slowly become the sum of the people closest to you. Choose them wisely.....”
Adiela Akoo

“Poetry is intimacy between poet and reader. It's revealing your truth and feeling safe acceptance in the unveiling”
Adiela Akoo
