WELCOME TO THE POETREE
Welcome to the Poetree is an artistic initiative launched by author and poet Dele Akinrin, aka Dad.
About Welcome To The Poetree
In 2017 Jola and Joyin were challenged to compose forty poems each, within six weeks by their Poet Dad, Dele Akinrin. They eventually wrote sixty poems between them and this marked the birth of the book, Welcome To The Poetree (WTTP) WTTP is however much more than a book of written poems. It is also the work of an artistic genius who translated every poem into a cartoon. Have a read on the & MAKING OF WTTP & page on this site to see the journey of how this book was brought to life.
For various reasons, it has taken seven years for series 1 of WTTP to reach our esteemed audience. However, from the onset, we strongly desired that WTTP should be more than a one-hit-wonder poetry book.

THE CIRCUS
-by Jola
What’s the best entertainment to cheer you up?
No not the TV show with the somersaulting pup
I’m talking about the circus a jolly nice place
Where you can see way more than one happy face
There are many people that you’ll find there too
It definitely won’t just be only me and Peggy Sue.
