[i]when's the thread coming up? I'm doing a look-alike. So people can try and detect which is mine and which is original. Did you do yours? Where is jigsaw?

laykorn:

We didn't invite oga seun because he's not popular for appreciating poetry. Everyone on the V.I.P list is popular for appreciating poetry.
Ayamlaykorn

joseph1832:
I suppose I am also not popular for appreciating poetry right? Seeing that I didn't get an invite.

iyabodeh:
"And we gather.
All in one accord.
Word for word,
Opinions we mould."

Laykorn! Report here, now now!

laykorn:

Joseph I'm sorry. I couldn't remember everyone. You are part of the planning team na. Please help with more mentions.
Ayamlaykorn

joseph1832:


Mould for mould
Words for actions
Actions to express
Our thoughts in words
Which resonates and echos
In dark conners
For we all are poets
United by a single creed
All for one, one for all

*thought it best to use the creed of the famed musketeers*. Hehehe.

OMA4U:
Join us tonight. 8 pm. BTW, it's been a while I heard from you. How are you doing?

joseph1832:
Apology not required! I love poetry so much. Funny thing is I didn't even do Literature in school! Was in science department.

I am currently reading Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy.

laykorn:

Hehe,we have the same problem. I'm a highschooler who's taking science. I never had a Lit. Textbook.

joseph1832:
Like seriously? You're still in high school?. I find it hard to believe.

laykorn:

No I finished. Preparing for JAMB.

joseph1832:
Nice. I discovered poetry when I was in high school, way back in 1999. Love was what sparked it. Lol.

laykorn:

Curiosity sparked mine. I was 13,I started by reading collections by Rupert Brooke,but I didn't know I could write something myself until this year.

joseph1832:
Awesome! It starts like that. I actually haven't written a poem since 1999. The Miss Nairaland contest woke up the poetry side of me, all thanks to rozzay abi na rozzayy now.

The girl can make you discover stuff about yourself. Lol.

iyabodeh:


Love!
The consciousness of guilt,
Aura of essence,
And the mother of emotions.

I am still finding my feet with poetry. Im more of a prose person. Sometimes I write poetry like I'm writing prose

laykorn:

You mean you wrote a poem for rossay? How awesome. Post the link
Ayamlaykorn

joseph1832:


Hate!
The opposite of love
The essence of darkness
The reflection of anger and rage
The consciousness of emotions spiraling out of control.

*same here, sometimes I also dabble between poetry and prose. My thoughts influence my words. Its based on what I see and hear around me*.

is this the thread that's supposed to be on front page ?

firestar:
In a world where you cease to exist
I'll run
I'll be hung
Bask in sun
Strings across my digits
Acoustics sprung.

Living is where we belong.
Have patience.
When you wake
We'll sing that song

But now
I mark this day
With beloved friends
Dear hearts of the quill

Let us throng
Let's march on.
Stronger today
Stronger than yesterday.

Shalom!

laykorn:

Can I use this to open?
