His first breakthrough in Poetry was at the age of 15, with his first published Poem titled “What If” in 1998 by the International Library of Poetry. You can find is poems in a book called “A Celebration of Poets”. In 2004, Akindele recieved an Editor’s Choice Award for outstanding achievement in Poetry, presented by the International Library of Poetry. In December of 2005, he had the pleasure of conducting 4 Poetry Workshops at Selsdon High School, Croydon, England.

Over the past 10 years, his poems have numbered over a hundred, each poem a reflection of his thoughts, experiences, and daily ups and downs. Only a few have walked into Akindele's heart and read his thoughts, as Poetry has always been a sacred pastime for him. Akindele writes about various themes including love, human values, society, history, and nature. He recently started presenting some of his poems publicly and working towards taking the next steps with his writing soon. Akindele is a Young Salone Pioneer and we applaud you for your contributing work in literature and inspiring the younger generation through Arts

Below is another best from Akindele's house of poetry...
                                               "What of Our Mothers"


From the bliss of evening primrose bloom
In essence of flowers that grows by nature’s tune
From an airy sphere that brings clear and fairy tales at noon
Whether she stands to gain or lose
What of our Mothers

-

From an ancient order sacred dues
Damsel immersed in a familiar perfume
“For her hand, for her hand” Our Father rehearsed in a sacred costume
Whether she knew she was always His half in His Holy Tribune
What of our Mothers

-

From afar there’s a starry night for you
Where even the moon bows down to see Earth’s commune
Where she sits like a Queen with a golden hue
Whether she’s praised by many or scorned by few
What of our Mothers

-

This performance is for you
Let the angels above sing and rejoice for you
For your bosom is the gateway from a Heavenly past
Where before we were we, you were you
Where to us it’s unknown yet to you it’s the truth
Messenger of life
It is through you where it passes it’s due
In essence of life that grows by nature’s tune
What of our Mothers

-

Should your painful experience in your labor set free
We these temples of souls that your bosom let free
For to you we were born with our hearts empty
Yet it is you who replenish our hearts with every
Moment inspired with your nurturing embrace
What of our Mothers

-

In the beginning if we had known you were any
More beautiful than evening primrose bloom
Eyes preordained to be the stairs towards our ascend into truth
Where Our Father resides, you’ve been there haven’t you?
For if we were birthed from out of our Mothers
What of Our Mothers?
