He also make use of Arabic and English loanwords, dialect, proverbs and innuendo to express his points. Above all, Gashuwa always opens and closes his poem with a doxology, no matter the motif. Sometimes his poems are to be accompanied by hand clapping. For Gashuwa "an effective political poem should be chanted in a pleasant voice, accompanied by hand clapping, and should contain proverbs"; he holds that this will surely attract an audience’s attention. Below is an example of proverb in his poem named *Ɗan Hakin da ka Raina*, "The Little Grass That You Despise". This poem is in *ƙwar biyar*, pentastich form, with “bᾱ” as the external rhyme.
