Tushkid74: Saw a roadside beancake seller and thought:
swirling, simmering

in frothy ripples of oil

her brown beancake swayed.

Highschool lover:

Here i'll wait
in the neem's shadow
my pressed pin-strip shirt
ruffled by the new bark print
touching the sensitive plant
its furling leafs will be my friend
in this lone vegetative state
straighten my stooped spine
fold and unfold my fatigued arms.

And when its break-time
junior students spill out like billowing flames
from their classrooms
i'll beckon at one
conspiratorily
hand him a white envelope
to be delivered to you.

Early Moaning Morning Pee

Pleasures of the skin
Watches plodding hands go in
Soft and warm
It stroked though the belly contours
Before flitting the clothes
Like a sting of passion
The moan of ecstasy in action
The bloodstream overflows with e..rection
And the pleasure pipe squirts lipton emotions
Oh lazy romance
I have no pair but sole,
I only live in my hearts' empty hole
With zippers closed
On 5.8 inches hose
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Few meters to my toilet
But I chose
To mess up my sheets
Cuz the pill of sleep got me drunk...

[b]I DON'T KNOW

By the village tree
Sat its simpatico kinsmen
Gathered under Solomon's shadow
Smoking pipe of tobacco leave
Telling tales of women
While waxing crafty willows
In their proclivity
To whine, laugh and grieve
As their wrinkle weighs tittle tears

***********
Mothers chinwags
About their men prowess,
Bickering in breathe-like sound
As others cajole and buttress,
Some scalawag
Dressed in Judas gown
Posed like an actress
Took mouth to ears
Before two men - old good friends...
And they wrestled themselves to the ground

************
Their children plays peekaboo,
All lost in the glowing night,
Crickets chirping with silence
Dogs barking,
Women bickering,
Waxing men wrestling,
Kids playing,
The dark stage illumine
The lantern refereed -
Dimming in dramatic plight

**********
Red-capped chiefs
Staggered to the scene
The hubbub tot up glean
With all its facts,
Caused lovers to become strangers
And friends swore to be foes
Each tasting the sands
Pointing fingers
Up high and the dusty moon
Cooed the stars in one accord

*************
Later in the night
Aggrieved men seeks a brother
Cuz they couldn't sleep under their covers
As amity is lighter while Hatred weighs lead,
Fielding mothers
Longs for the warmth of peace
As carefree Children
Snores under their sheets
And before the co ck crows,
Pride were sheathed by fathers
With all agreeing
That they all live for others

I don't think i agree with you on that one. Guy, Na wa to you oooo.
I can't say if I have any but a friend is seeking to publish one of my poetic stories (not The Convict) soon.

I'm sorry I can't take up Cuddlemii"s spot cuz I'm always on the move, i.e I travel a lot and the task requires adequate concentration and composure (which are like gold to me aside working). I think I'm better of as a participant.

But I trust you can handle the contest very well judging from the passion you have for poetry and the way you handled the weekly contest before the Nairaland Tsunami

A TEAR

It takes one soul
to save another,
one shy smile
to fall in love;
I've got one heart
but please don't bother,
one broken heart
is just enough.

It takes one hand
to hold her finger,
one strong arm
to make her stay;
it takes a memory
to make it linger,
one strong will
to make a way.

It takes one word
to make me cry,
one closed eye
to blink back tears;
just one thought
as the day goes by,
just one day
in the months of years.


It takes one lie
to make me bleed,
and break
my heart of clay;
it took you forever
to hurt me,
took me a tear
to wash it all away...

HOLY SSHIT

I was on my way to
a close friend's house,
it was midnight
and there was not even a mouse.
I silently walked alone
on the narrow streets;
by then, everyone
should have been in their bedsheets.
I was thinking of my friend,
who calls himself Amos;
I was about to make a turn
when I felt something around my anus...
Shitt! Shitt!
Oh, shit it was indeed.
I ran faster and faster
with incredulous speed...
----
Damn! Damn!
I couldn't make it there in time,
i saw a random building -
a shitt in time saves nine...
I was grunting in pleasure
when a priest walked in.
I was shitting in a church?
Oh damn.. This is a sin!
He saw me there,
grunting with all my might.
''Holy Shitt!'', he screamed.
He couldn't have been more right...
