Sorry, what's your question, please?

contestant 7. AD30LA & IGItee
Contestant 1. Royver and Krystalxxx
Contestant 3. Philtrum and JigsawKillah

You guys should please read the instructions very well and work in accordance with it.

AD30LA, it's a single poem, but it must be written with two or more forms. Sonnet will stand as a verse and any other form. This is a collab, so it should be easier.

Goodluck to those who made it to 2nd round...

so we are to submit a poem with varying number of lines per stanza, varying rhyme scheme and meter? Am sorry if I sound too inquisitive sir, am just worried about the coherence of such poem.

What's with the silence on this thread, it's unusual... Well, let me try to break the silence with an unusual poem.


VOICE OF THE MOB
(Quatrain ABAB)

sometimes i wonder
Why dem talk sey we bad
But really e no even matta
So far no be sey we mad

People wey dey talk am
Na dem even bad pass
Still una think sey dem bam
Because of their so-called class

No be sey we no attend schools
But when work no come dey
e no fair to call us fools
For casting for a role in the play

We no see good jobs
As we no come get choice
Na then we join the mobs
And u dey call us bad boys

Every other day
Na condemn we be
But when election dey
Na we dem come dey see

So now who bad pass
We no get money
We dey smoke bass
But we get and u lack honesty.

Silence
. It pervades
. The thread suddenly
. Like the sudden seizure of power
. The kind of thing NEPA does
. On a hot humid night
. However it ends
. Soon.

Royver. I like this your diamond poem o. NL won't show it as a diamond sha. Were waiting for your bomb come Saturday. Goodluck

Hello Mr Royver
The battle is not yet over
Our luck is like a four petal clover
As the crazed poem lover
I'll still shoot my ideas through a revolver
Though I may seem to take cover
I'm still a problem solver

Ne'er mind issues I'll be braver
Through the blood filled river
I still hold promise like the pearl in the oyster


*hope the message behind is clear royver...good night*

i sincerely hope we don't need to explain like before. i think its the judge's job to do that. It's somehow like explaining your own joke. but if you still want explanations please let us know. thanks.
