I don't want to sound too sniffy, but what are you doing to increase publicity for this forum amongst our people out there? 43 members since early last month? Not good. Or are you just taking things slow and steady? |

Being nice? Why should I be? You know I'm always quick to point out your blunders.  This time around, trust me, that poem was cool. Some lines there gave me goose bumps. Ileke, you too much! To even think you've not dabbled into the world of poetry. Ileke, why not give poetry writing a trial. You could publish your collection someday, you know and possibly end up winning a Nobel prize in literature. Impossible is nothing, you know. I also intend publishing someday too. I still dey write the poems keep somewhere sha. We could also publish to together as couple too, you know. If only, you'd consider my application when the "break" and "healing period" is over. Lol now you're too much. Your compliments won't make me take it easy on you, sir.  You write poems? I'd love to read some of them, if you're interested. My healing period will be over in 6yrs, are you ready to wait then?  ...been writing poems since high school. Trust me, most of my poems are hardcore. Like Thug Life poetry. I have some pretty decent ones though. You wanna read my poems? I'll publish them in 6 years' time. Are you ready to wait till then? 6 years healing period? Ileke, o ga fun e oooo! |

My don is a supreme literary head. And you lot would make a perfect couple.He needs to help me out, I'm struggling in that aspect, especially when it comes to structure and translating my imagination into something poetic. You can say that again, Bro... No mind that Ileke. Her shakara too much! Loool. She's Yoruba...that's expected.  |

ajanaku , My nyggah, tupackshakur, a literary head. You need to help me with my poetry skills - I'm struggling. Shymmexx baba! Why you dey whine me na? I'm sure you know you could scour the net for resources on being a good poet! There are a lot of articles and sites on poetry writing, you know! Also, ensure you familiarize yourself with the numerous poetry tools and devices out there, the commonest being Rhyme and Rhythm. You could also study the poems of great Poets like Maya Angelou, Elizabeth Barrett browning and our own Tupac Shakur...There a lot of cool poets out there. Reading is different from being able to convey ya thought into something poetic. Even the greatest poets had to go through the tutelage of experts in the field. Heck, Tupac had Leila Steinberg. Also, I don't really want to use the rhyme and rhythm style of poetry all the time cos most modern poems don't rhythm. I want to be able to do a bit of Maya Angelou and a bit of Ben Okri. Two conflicting styles, but both are great. I'm going to post a new poem tonight. I'll tag you when I do. |

Extra posts? Why are you so shy? I'm an introvert, that's why. You're an extrovert, I can tell. lol I've been meaning to tell you that you take a lot of energy outta me, even only Loool. I'm an extrovert on the internet. I seldom talk in the real world, unless I'm around my folks. Perhaps, that has a lot to do with where I grew up and my journey in life...and maybe, I should've been an extrovert. But I like the way I can switch either side on whenever I feel like it. |

You'd make a great bipolar advocate Loool. I'm not bipolar - I just prefer keeping myself to myself around strangers cos I've got trust issues. Perhaps I should've been a gemini. |
