Diastema

beauty at its peak
"Eji", a Yoruba man will say
cuteness found in deformity
"a perfect one makes her complete"

happiness in her parent's heart
"omo Dara bi egbin", they say
love at first sight for the beholder
"she must be my wife or concubine"

I envy her husband and children
"ewa ti ko legbe" they've got
every word they hear enters
"she has got an irresistible smile"
