Do You Write Poetry? by shadowfax(m): 7:56pm On Aug 15, 2006
An African publishing house is compiling an anthology of poetry from young African poets. Do you feel that you are a great poet in the embryo. If you really believe in your literary ability, then contact me ASAP with your poems.

You should give more details like the name of the publishing house et cetera.No serious poet would want to send his poem to some obscure publishing house.Instead of asking poets to send their poems to you can't they send it to the publishing house straight off? Is there a website address? any address at all would do.We need a place we can trace.

More information. That's all! The temptation to go off at a tangent is awfully high on Nairaland forum.If this thread is connected to poetry,why should some members reduce the seriouness to a depressing joke?Am sick of this land!
Re: Do You Write Poetry? by firestar(f): 3:30pm On Sep 06, 2006
Here a piece from me:
                         
   All that we see or seem,
   Is like a dream within a dream.

    
   Firestar.

@firestar
That Koan? is reminiscent of the great Dictator General Nakamura's death poem;

From nothing into nothing
Osaka castle and all that I have ever done
is but a dream
within a dream.
Re: Do You Write Poetry? by princesa(f): 3:15pm On Jan 25, 2008
Angel_empy you dey here
hiiiiiiiiiiiii wink

i agree with you all
why isnt the poster saying anything yet

is it to start a thread with no subtancial evidence
of information given
and disapear to thin air angry
Re: Do You Write Poetry? by sirwebs(m): 9:41pm On Jan 28, 2008
To thin air he went
like mist at morn;
leaving them that want
as those who mourn.
Re: Do You Write Poetry? by kenwins(f): 5:06pm On Jan 21, 2015
To mourn is for the living.
And there is no reason-
For the poster leaving.
And i see no reason-
Why he should see us leaving.
