the pursuit of perfection has its price (time and efforts), I discovered it was just an illusion (beauty is in the eyes of the beholder), your work is perfect when you believe it so. Anybody can finish a "poem" but not all can make a "poem" a master piece.
writer's block isn't just a myth you know. Anyways, its great knowing their are worthy poets around.
Goodluck in the competition (and don't say you don't need it), if we make it to the finals, I'll be wanting the goodluck backcheesy,,

if it takes 6 months to write a master piece, then we would have just 2 'master piece' poems in a year. Pretty dragging don't you think?

Anyway, wish you luck too......your masterpiece should make it past the first round. I wonder if my one hour poem can put up with such competition.

Don't worry, am gonna cheer you to finals wink
Re: Nairaland's "The Poet" Competition Season 2 by Oahray: 5:07pm On Jul 12, 2013
Oh boy.. HBG, one has to be listed to participate in the first round? I thought... Fine, I'm in. As a poet.

Add me sharply.

:Dperhaps that explains why there are so few master pieces in the world.
First round? I guess we'll never find out, i am using something different (so I can have an excuse if I lose, :DJK). I read some of your works and they are pretty good, I am excited to see you write something outside romance. You definitely won't have issues with the first round.

hmmm... Plenty talk. I think you meant "so few CELEBRATED poems".
'Masterpiece' is definitely subjective, and all the more so with poetry. I've read better poems (in my opinion) than the most celebrated ones. Just do your thing and have fun while at it.

No registration form, lol. Just indicate what to role you'd like. A poet or designer? Then, submit your first poem on the 13th of August.

jackbauersballs: I would like to compete too...how do i get involved?

Just say the word! Poet or Designer?

lol grin let me translate that for you.

Ke mang; (who is) "ke" = is, that ke is used when your reffering to a noun. "Mang" is used for singulars but if you want to point on a lot of staff you can use "bo", that "bo" stands for plural, you add it before "mang" so you can use it like this; "ke bo mang," you see here, "ke's" meaning has changed because "ke bo mang?" Now is "who are they?" So basically, ke is a noun on singular and a verb on plural.

"Ao" goes with "who." And the "ruta" is teach, its a verb too but since we are talking about a person here we will add -ng to "ruta" to make it a complete doing word; "rutang"

Then sesotho is my native language.

So (ke-mang-ao=who is) (rutang-teaching you) sesotho?

M so gonna make a lousy native language teacher, I have tried though.

Into a gummy soup
One chew, two

Crap.

In Naija-speak:
Anyamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
In English,

Feel like swearing
and yet
I feel faint.

I hold on to cooking myself
Than this bowl of over-glorified
Over-praised, over-spiced


Over-priced bowl of paint.

wow. Now this is one difficult language. grin
Don't mind me jor, I thought (guess work) you wrote "so you can speak sesotho?" and so I replied "no"

I beg to differ on the last part though. I think you'd make a great teacher. smiley

a language is difficult if you don't speak it.

I learned four languages at once just because I lived among people who spoke them...I used to think Yoruba was gibberish...*hides*

I would just laugh @ my friends whenever they got a call from home, cheesy Jesus it was hillarious but after sometime, I got comfortable around them. Still can't speak it but I can read their lips and reactions when they talk.

This is an opportunity to be read, i believe that's what matters the most (i wouldn't mind an award though cheesy).

As for your ogas, remember they are rooting for you, and you also give some people jitters 8-)...
