Congratulations to the winners. You guys nailed it but I seriously don't agree with some of the results. The judges didn't get some things right here but I know saying this doesn't change anything but I'll say it. Some of the poems you gave the high scores are not renga poems. Yeah, that's it. They only complied to the haiku's 5,7,5 syllables rule and 7,7 couplets rule. The poems are just normal poems- evoking the reader's mood, having a theme bla bla bla. Any poet can do this. But there are things to note in a renga poem which I can't even find in the renga written by the runners up. Where are the seasons? The moon? Insect? Et al. A renga poem doesn't necessarily tell a story. It uses words to evoke images of the natural world.

So judges, most of those poems are not renga poems. Try to get it right. We are not all pushovers.

Peace

Nice compilation judges. Some judges though are too lenient to be fooled. How can a judge give the winners 50 in RR. We deserve that too. We followed the strick rule of Renga. I'm just thinking it's cos they wrote their names on every Stanza which we did but in different way. We refused doing it cos it might stop the flow. Anyways, I pray I'm here next year so I might do better. Thank You. We poled 90.1 percent.

Congratulations Jigsawkillah

We did our best but that's what we got, really felt great working with you.

And story telling doesn't involve the natural world?

The moon, the insect, the Sun bla bla bla aren't part of the natural world and they aren't part of story telling huh?

Dude, you really need to be holistic in your reasoning. LOL.

I bet you don't even understand what I dropped. Sometimes people think they are using words but It'll appear that words are using them. Go and learn the structure of a renga poem and yeah, your last sentence is really an advice you should follow.

LMAO. Come on don't be such a soar loser bro. How many Rengas have you written for you to suddenly become a guru in Renga poems? Reading about Rengas from wikipedia doesn't give you the technical know how to even claim to know about them bra!

So once again, don't be soar that things didn't even go the way you wanted it to.

Thanks to the NL poetry club competition organizers. Weno and I received our awards today. A total sum of 12000NGN. It was a joy. We really appreciate everyone.

The organizers for the gesture, the judges, the competitors who made us work our asses to be better at poetry by giving a good account of themselves, the entire poetry for review NLers (the section of NL that you can post and come back after months and still find your post in the sections front page ) and not forgetting Mr. Seun for providing the platform for us to develop a rare skill, thank you.

To my enchanting partner who put up with my absence at some critical moments and yet, delivered excellent performances every single time, I have no words to qualify you. .


Finally, my gratitude goes to God Almighty and infinite for his wisdom and ever abounding grace, I am grateful.

Thank you everyone, especially llaykorn.
