Oh yeah 4Him, you can check out a poem I wrote here https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-143258.0.html . It ain't sexually oriented.

no problemo bro, everyone seemed to be writing on the erotica theme now and i was wondering if that was the only thing a drabble meant.

Your poem was great. As usual the women are shedding tears . . . grin

Re: Write Your Own Very Own "drabble". by Sisikill: 2:55am On Jun 18, 2008
Okay, I thot the purpose of a drabble is free expression.
Wasn't aware we had to follow a particular theme. undecided

there's no theme . . . there's free expression . . . however it gets easily boring when everyone seems to be writing about sex all the time.

Well then, why don't you make it less [i]boring [/i]by writing something that isn't about sex. I just find it a tad rude that you are dismissive of other people's work when you make no effort to contribute anything. . . but then again, it is easier to criticize than participate, isn't it?

A REAL drabble, huh? As opposed to what. . .the unreal drabbles? I think that is being dismissive of other people's work but hey, that's just me and I could be wrong. Maybe if we took a poll right now, majority will say it is high praise!!!!

Re: Write Your Own Very Own "drabble". by Nobody: 5:52am On Jun 18, 2008
Anywaz, back to topic. . .


Well, I tried on this one sha. . .

I could not control the fear running down my back like a slithering snake. Oh what did I do? What did I do? Same ol’ trouble wandered back and fro in my troubled mind. It stopped at the conscious gate and began to pound mercilessly on its metal door. Will I go to jail now or will the judges pardon me in excuse of my youthfulness.

It was an accident, I’m sure the nice lady judge will realize that. On the other hand, Should I run away like a fugitive from my prosecution? Then I can’t, mama will miss me too much if I dare to disappear for a second.

I knew I shouldn’t have given the baby too much food, now I think it’s dead. It’s not crying and screaming as usual. And why is her chest moving like that?
What do I do? What do I do?

“Don’t touch me, boy, I’m not into brokeass niggas” Debbie let out, annoyed with the figure’s unwanted harassment.

“Now, baby girl, what makes you think that?” the nameless figure innocently approached her.

“Maybe, maybe because you look like you just walked out of Cheap N Stingy Mart” .

The stranger hooted out a laugh. Smiling deviously, he reached into his tight over worn jeans and pulled out a $500 bill, a bait for the annoyed treat he intended on taking for a ride. . .a very long ride.

Seeing ol’ McKinley, Debbie reached for the green. With another intention on his mind, the figure pulled Debbie inside his car, locked his door, and drove off.
Debbie was never seen again, now her face is pasted on the “Missing People” poster on almost every brick wall in Manhattan.

LMAO. . .the better question is what else do YOU want to nag about? This thread is 5 pages long and until YOU came along to complain about how we bore YOU, we all seemed to be getting on just fine. So what else? The spacing of the sentences, makes it to hard to read or maybe it's the number of words in a sentence, makes it to long to read. Please oh please, won't you tell us what we can do to make YOU less bored?

By the way, you do know what they say about a man who let's himself to be bored. . .right? Just sayin'

Toodles.

Am I a terrible person for not feeling sorry for the little gold digger? LOL

Very well done! Both stories hit a different chord from the usual because these events can and do happen in reality.

"A little to the left" he says softly

I obey.

"That's good"

I beam.

In and out.

The rhythm plays along with my heart beat.

Twist, Twist, Twist.

"Hold still"

I obey

"Excellent"

I duck my head and smile.

"You ready for this?"

I nod.

My hand shook as his powerful tool hit the spot.

I am overcome with vibrations.

"You want me to stop?"

I shake my head.

"We're almost there"

I look up at his sweat soaked face.

In and out. In and out.

One last hit and it's over

"There" he says

"So beautiful."

He smiles "not bad for your first time"

He pauses

"Of course, I am good at what I do" he jokes as he puts away his drill, hammer, screw driver and nails.

"That you are. . ." I reply stroking the roof of doll house we have just set up. A birthday present for our 10 years old daughter

You're really not as relevant as you want to make urself. I dont remember refering to ur drabble.
Why do you feel the need to act the thread captain? Is it your private business?
No one else complained . . . why do you feel the need to?

Get off ur high horse pls.

Cant remember nagging at all . . . u whine about "freedom of expression", apparently its lost on you because i suppose everyone has a RIGHT to make a general comment. Its not UR thread u know.

Sisikill:

This thread is 5 pages long and until YOU came along to complain about how we bore YOU, we all seemed to be getting on just fine.

drop the self-serving hypocritical use of "we". This is not about YOU . . .
Never complained that i was bored . . . i've been coming here to read the drabbles since page 2 and i have thoroughly enjoyed it. I was a bit uncomfortable that everyone seemed to be writing more on a sexual theme.
Why does that get u in a bother? I dont remember referencing your drabble.

Sisikill:

So what else? The spacing of the sentences, makes it to hard to read or maybe it's the number of words in a sentence, makes it to long to read. Please oh please, won't you tell us what we can do to make YOU less bored?

Again drop the use of the silly "we" . . . there's plenty of people here, only you feel the need to whine endlessly over a simple comment.

Sisikill:

By the way, you do know what they say about a man who let's himself to be bored. . .right? Just sayin'

If i were bored i wont be here in the first place. Seems you believe ur own hype a little too much.

Hmmm…relevance. That’s what this is really about isn’t it? You desire to remain relevant. It does explain why you feel you can say anything to anyone and then expect them to sit back and take it.

Why do I need to act as thread captain. . .asks the one who is here whining that the content is too sexually oriented. Last I checked there was no rule that only Mickey Mouse playhouse drabbles should be posted.

I’ll get off my high horse when you do yours

Aaah so YOU were a bit uncomfortable eh? Awww, look at that. . . 4him is uncomfortable with the content of this thread and instead of staying away from something that causes him discomfort. . .like any normal human being would, he decides to call people to task. Lol. . .if that isn’t self-serving, I don’t know what is.

I think I can safely saw WE seeing as out of over 20 writers, you are the only one who has whined about the content. . .because he is uncomfortable with it.


4 Him:

Again drop the use of the silly "we" . . . there's plenty of people here, only you feel the need to whine endlessly over a simple comment.

Whine, whine, whine. . .Jeez! Would you like some cheese with that?

4 Him:

If i were bored i wont be here in the first place. Seems you believe your own hype a little too much.

Believing ones hype. . .oy! Hellooooo Mr. Kettle


Am I surprised you missed my point? Absolutely not. So I'll break it down for you crayola style. . .until you contribute something worthwhile (not that being amused at your whining isn't worthwhile. . .but that's another story) it is rude of you to come here and dismiss other people's work just because you are uncomfortable. There!

Now be a dear and run along, adults WITH manners are talking here.
