Way back in secondary and early part of university days it was a norm for guys to write peoms for their girlfriends and sing love songs to them.

But as years passedby and the computer age surfaced, even the so called romantic boys started stealing peoms to pass to their girl friends which most of the girls knew their boy friends wasn't the originator of such. This started making guys less romantic as even in our nigerian songs today, they sing vulgar and crappish songs rather than compose from within their heart.

My question is; do guys of today still compose peoms and send to their girl friends and do ladies still find such men attractive and romantic

il rada a guy takes his tym n pens down his hrt 2 me than al doz forwrded mssgs ppl luv 2 u.i appreciate poetry so much o.

Yeah! Like earlier stated, even our musicians no longer write songs from within. Does it man we now have less romantic men in town?

I had an old bf who used to write me poems and such. Me, being a mean person, dismissed them most of the time.

i used to love poems and most of the guys i've been with and my wannabes have been quite poetic but over time,i've stopped appreciating romantic poems with its twist around words because it all turns out to be a lie in the end.
These days,if you try any poetry on me,you don FAIL!!!

I used to write poems until I realised some girls just take your poem and send it to another guy. Now that defines nonsense

Gbam!!! I had a girl who did that nonesense and I made her pay was it not N6,000 or so. Without telling her the offence she committed, I told her we should go to the cinema but she would foot all the bills, after both watching a movie and all, by the time the day was over, I made her know that her crime was she sent my peom to someone else, she almost fainted but we later laughed over it though I gave her money than what she spent some few days later.


That's called "copyright violation"

shymmex: Poem dedicated to Naija girls (freestyle)

Naija girls, oh my naija girls
where would I be without you
Looking back at my life and how far I have come
I love you more everyday
Life was given to me by you
Sustained by you
And I hope I breathe my last air on your beautiful hands
Every time I think about what strong women should be
I think about my naija girls
Your intelligence, class, brilliance, bravery,and sophisticated can never be matched anywhere in the world
Yet you still love me through my highs and lows
I love you my naija girls
And will continue to proclaim my love for you till I leave this cold world

Yours Sincerely,

Shymmex.

Shymmex, this requires fine tuning. Like, seriously.

I was kidding. I liked the poem. 6.5/10.
And you had positive things to say about naija girls,
unlike some of the kiddos on this site who spit rubbish.
Much appreciated.

but d catch is- d chic has to inspire me to write, cos it comes from me heart

shymmex:

How do you mean?

I mean, sift this rough diamond and I'll reply your poem.

shymmex poem is the definition of bland-freestyle or not!
It sounds like some yori-yori or x-project lyrics from back in the days...

Well, I think the nest way to avoid those kiddos is us starting to create mature topics they can hadly blend into. That will keep them away and Seun would be forced to create a "cartoon" section for them.

@topic:

I don't know.
I guess I am a mix of old and new school.
I am a fan of love. I crave affection: the hugs, kisses, the "I love you baby"s and the works...

but for some strange reason bouquets of Roses, Cards, Candy and Poetry just doesn't move me...

Your last paragraph only sells in nigeria a few days to Feb 14.

So don't worry if you live in Nigeria as no man will bring all those to you.

Everyone irrespective of age and sex have all gone extremely materialistic.
