Great job OMA4U

OMA4U:
To qualify for the competition, each poet is to write a five-line poem and should include a number at the top of that poem. It's that number we're going to use to pair the poets together.

Thanks @ all who have shown a modicum of interest.
God bless you all.

What happens when more than two people pick one number?
What happens when people pick numbers that ain't matching?
However, great idea!

Within the clouds lay I crossed
Sipping the scent of my dripping quill
Its ink drooling from many brew
raring to ride where angels hide
mame minds, conquer quests

For it is but a burning Quill

Not too long ago i was barely a teen,
So slim and scrawny that people called me thin,
But I wasn't at all bothered like milk concealed in a tin,
Just as long as I was allowed to always do my thing,
Please, can I be number FOURTEEN...

All my life I've seen a man whose face
holds a smirk.
I know not what I mean to the crook
Ma says the man is just too meek
To me he is one horrible punk
An everlasting puck


I choose 16.

I took my books coupled with some fruits
Laced my boots, forsook food as I trod off to trace my roots from the pages of this wood. Hooked on its drool I zoomed on head on . well groomed was life in d nook, no tech to wreck. Just some hood, a lil crude, we weren't rude, just some room and some rum.

But we woke up and realised life took on wings and nook on!

Re: Nairaland Collaborative Poetry Competition (season One) by Eke40seven(m): 3:35pm On Oct 29, 2014
INTRO:

I hated poetry but destiny billowed me with its love

Absorbingly amazed and amused, I arise like a dove

Gracefully from the sky I beheld the beauty of its plot

though true, the terms, the terminologies I know not

An interesting world but its rules and laws I care not.

Am no poet, but can I be in this literary Juggernaut?


I think I came in late, if the slot is available can I pick number 20?
