Re: Poetry Contest by Genial(m): 10:42pm On Nov 10, 2006 |
You always smile in my minds eye. That's how I see you, Nilla. Can you critique the poem, please? I'd like you to show me the picture it paints in your mind, how effectively I have communicated my thoughts, and what exactly you like about it. There you go again. Your smile makes me warm. |
Re: Poetry Contest by nilla(f): 10:46pm On Nov 10, 2006 |

challenger One tip for my adversary in armor-blue: I shall swing my sword low And with stealth I shall blow And with feigned cries of pain I shall bid you cocky And might you think for once you have me But for your pride, I'll watch you lose. |
Re: Poetry Contest by Genial(m): 1:21am On Nov 11, 2006 |
Nilla? Your attention is needed here quickly! |
Re: Poetry Contest by macalurs(m): 2:58am On Nov 11, 2006 |
I'm still trying to say the contest is kind'a flawed when the judge is hyper-ventilating. "challenger" is a reply to frank. Here's my piece below. |
Re: Poetry Contest by macalurs(m): 3:15am On Nov 11, 2006 |
MADRE Her brow sweaty, clothes ragged, figure gaunt She looks tired, she is tired. Hair dread-locked by dirt, feet with dust covered Closer. She humms a raspy tune The tune is raspy or might be her voice But her eyes seem focused, dirty and focused. By God, I wonder where she comes from, Maybe I should wonder where she goes. But those eyes stare like royalty, who is she? Who could she be? A queen? A warriors widow? The desert sun scorching. There's only one tree, I sit under. Alas! She walks toward me. I feel terror-- numbness-- I'm speechless Knees weak I stand. Our eyes meet. She falls. She is dirty, she must smell. But she's in my arms smelly or not. She's out. How long has she but walked? She needs water. She's under my tree; still in my arms, still beautiful. Still out. But who is she? I wipe her face. SUCH CONCEALED RADIANCE! Those eyes open and catch me sobbing and wishing and cursing and swearing-- I gasp "who are you?" And from beauty interior she breathes: "My name is Nigeria" . . . |

[center]'Deja Vu' A cold drizzly moonlight night, Somewhere in the woods lying in hay, Only the moon kept our wet bodies in sight, Where love alone had a say. Naked as we first were, Our hands and tongues wander in febrile fire, The earlope, neckline, nipples, backline, public hair,, Giggles, kisses, ecstasy Like it never were. Licking and tracing, Moving down the navel, While a hand caresses and squeezes, I find and make an ice-cream of it. Farther down the region, Climbing with fingers and everything within my mouth, leaving my warm tracks moist, You convulse in round and rounds of orgasm. Weak but undone, You pull and push me in, in phases, Slidding deep and deeper into your warm slippery pot, Until the very end leaves me cooking and breathless. Your eyes urge me on with legs wrapt round thighs They keep me locked and rocking, A slow continuous rhythmic ritual, A streaming orgasmic dance, Till we're done but lost in embrace and breath. A little turn, And I jolt out of sleep biting fingers, Cos it really never was, And I'm all messed up.[/center] |
Re: Poetry Contest by franc1982(m): 12:04pm On Nov 11, 2006 |
@ Genial Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! I see bribe flying all over the room. I don't want to be Jose Mourinho, but the bros are pushing me. How do want her to be fair after such a poem? I nearly wet my pants, a male for that matter. Easy bro, she's the judge not a lover. LMAO!!! |
Re: Poetry Contest by Genial(m): 12:20pm On Nov 11, 2006 |
LOL, Franc! Are you also a comedian, as well as an accomplished poet? Thanks, by the way. |
Re: Poetry Contest by Genial(m): 12:28pm On Nov 11, 2006 |
I like this, Macalurs. But those eyes stare like royalty, who is she? Good job. |
Re: Poetry Contest by somegirl(f): 1:19pm On Nov 11, 2006 |
Madre --- mother, how beautiful she could be if not for her bad luck and the ill-treatment she receives. Pride, strength, compassion sleep in her heart Macalurs, thanks for showing her true self in your art. |
Re: Poetry Contest by nilla(f): 5:26pm On Nov 11, 2006 |
my poem first then my comments later. Macalurs i see you have a Nigerian poem now. so do i. my first poem ever. NIGERIA Oh hail Nigeria Land of multiple languages Land of multiple cultures Land of variety and diversity You may say its troubled You may say there is no hope for it But I urge you, think again For its the dawn of a new era No other place would you find such uniqueness People are happy regardless of adversity Grace, style and persevearance is their hidden name Always colorful in exotic outfits Oh hail Nigeria, my home Can't love any other like i love you Love undisputed Value priceless. |
Re: Poetry Contest by macalurs(m): 5:27pm On Nov 11, 2006 |
My heart went out with the piece. Nilla inspired it. like for real. . . no woos Thanks-- somegirl & genial. |
Re: Poetry Contest by macalurs(m): 5:30pm On Nov 11, 2006 |
Nilla is that really your first painting? it's breathtaking. . . "Just like vanilla" |
Re: Poetry Contest by somegirl(f): 5:30pm On Nov 11, 2006 |
My dear Nilla, na lie o! This can't have been your first poem ever - just way too good for that. I like em - your and Macalurs' poems - better than those that paint Nigeria in very dark colours. |
Re: Poetry Contest by nilla(f): 5:35pm On Nov 11, 2006 |
somegirl: darling it is. cant you see how long it took me to come up with one. like i said earlier i never really paid attention to poems until francs thread. macalurs:thanks. Nilla is actually from vanilla |
Re: Poetry Contest by nilla(f): 5:43pm On Nov 11, 2006 |
Can you critique the poem, please? Genial i like everything about it. but just wondering what this line means: Twin peaks alluring, so very turgid meanwhile, Genial and macalurs pls no fighting on my behalf "Madre" and "Deja vu" i will comment on later. Genial are you sure you dont want to put in one to compete with those two? |
Re: Poetry Contest by macalurs(m): 5:43pm On Nov 11, 2006 |
Nilla is actually from vanilla It takes some guts to keep a name that beautiful. You seem it. Anyways, I've read your poem and you don't seem a first-timer. Trust me you'll be powerful after the next score.powerful as in-- somegirl no go even see your break-light |
Re: Poetry Contest by nilla(f): 5:46pm On Nov 11, 2006 |
