be right back.

cech stayed at Chelsea for 11 years, he was
sold to arsenal for a fee of 11m, Chelsea currently
have 11 point, the difference between arsenal
and Chelsea is 11 point, everything about Chelsea
is 11, I just hope morinho will not b sacked in this
11th month.

Hmm, Not bad, not bad at all. I bet you and Jigs were having a field day daydreaming. LOL.

it wasn't planned, jigs started

kul

It's been long since I dropped a rhyme,
Never was an opportunity till now,
I've always thought it had gone with time,
What to do? When all think you a clown.
But tonight, I'm testing the water,
And I can see, I'm still a knife through butter.

JigsawKillah:



lol we're learners in this aspect when compared to those like you

Those like me? Permit me to say there aren't any like me. LOL. (Just kidding)

Laveda:

joe there's nothing real for you to read

Eniqurl please can we do this?

Laveda:
joe there's nothing real for you to read

he said 'planned'
we should plan one

Staggering aimlessly like the village drunk
He wobbled the bag into the truck's trunk
Looking up the sky, he saw his mother smile
Ten years long gone, yet she seemed not a mile
With his veins full of chilled strong gin
He struggled to the steering for the last drive

Laveda:

joe there's nothing real for you to read

The unreal is most times, what poetry is about. Imagery is key. so, humor me.

firestar:
It's about to go _down.

And down deep let it sip
My mind trip, let it bleep
Out of itz crib, into itz ink let it drip
Freeze peeps, rip ribs
To dah beating brews
Jerk off thou chilly Quills




Here is to mah....
Quiet Quill

From the bliss of a mind in revery

I build my castle

From deep heart of a dreamer I rule my world

An Arabian Prince I dreamed to be

I wish I had the Magic word

I wish I am a god in my Kingdom

Life is a Market,

Where mortals trade.

Some stay for so long,

Others so short,that it goes unnoticed.

But one thing is certain,

We are all going home.

I’m a son so Prodigal
In other climes, I am viewed as a
Radical
But sit back, relax and let's be Practical
Can I win this contest on Nairaland?
Pet section is my Fort
Kerry and Eve are my Cross;
Very soon they'll pay my Lot
Venturing outta my comfort zone, why not?
This is just a Freestyle,
To see if I can win some Dimes,
Playing with Rhymes.

JigsawKillah:



he said 'planned'

we should plan one

And what do you think?

There is a land not far away

Filled with honey and milky juices

Wedged between fleshy branches

Covered from dirt with dark thick bushes

There I must go, and I must make hay

For my path is made on your narrow way!

joseph1832:

Just chill

Chanting the soliloquy


Dawn the earth


Whisking the melodies


Euphoria covers the beam


In him speak to all


Yet speaks to no one





I'm in for this too....

Announcer back on the mic
From place of solace dropping it like its hot
Back on the days when peeps got ma back
While drole bark hoo
Pink cardillac on my drive
Hoos on my mind n Charlie to the gees

#My#Opinion

lame, ain't yhu ashame doing dis sh!t all over again? but hey! I know you're fake'. now you're going astray'' Oh what a shame''

*drops mic and walk out*

lets do this

The tragedy of an unlived life
The anguish of a fruitless thrive
Who knows the pain I feel
When life presents a scar time can't heal
I just put on my mask of smiles
Hoping to find solace down the isle.

OP I'm in!

freedom is a debt somehow,
somewhere, somebody made sacrifices for the freedom
you are enjoying today and very few of us are presented
with the opportunity to repay their debt.

"DEATH"

What would I give to come back
Now I be among the immotals
Now the shadow,i fear at night
That moment I came,i tried
it's only part luck,i never saw it
Breath could flee or seize
