Poetry : The tune of Adaowa - JSS1 English Language Lesson Note

"The Tune of Adaowa"

In the land of Adaowa, where the hills stand tall,
Where the rivers flow gently, and the trees stand tall,
There's a dance that's been danced for ages untold,
A dance of joy and pride, a story to be told.

To the beat of the drums, the people gather 'round,
With laughter and music, they dance to the sound,
Of rhythms so ancient, passed down through the years,
Bringing people together, dispelling all fears.

With graceful movements, they sway to and fro,
Their feet tapping lightly, their spirits aglow,
In colorful attire, they whirl and they twirl,
Their voices raised high, in a joyful swirl.

The Tune of Adaowa, a melody so sweet,
A celebration of life, of culture, and treat,
For in this dance, the heart of Adaowa is found,
A bond that unites, forever profound.

So let us join hands, in the dance of Adaowa,
In the land of tradition, where love overflows,
For in the Tune of Adaowa, we find our true worth,
A celebration of life, and the land of our birth.
