I am sure all you lovely folks have been to bars/clubs that have open mics gigs  for music, comedy or poetry.  Saying this, I was wondering if we can have an On-Line open mic (POETRY) on Nairaland every Friday

come and express yourself which ever way you feel the need to.  Its simple: Just step to the mic and say what you like - be yourself and make sure you don’t hold back.  This is an opportunity to "Keep It Real" and Speak Your Mind. (Maximum six (6) lines)  what say you?

Trust me its going to be fun and you are going to enjoy every moment of It.

Peace

you first.

good idea . . . . but why just fridays?

This should be fun! Maybe we should have a practice round right now?

davidylan:

you first.

Come this Friday night - I'll start off first and its going to be something nice about you

NaJa HaJe:

good idea . . . . but why just fridays?

So folks don't get bored.  Plus we have to respect folks who post on a daily basis.

anyone of you can kick this off as i am not going to be around till later.  sorry 

I'm in

I'll be watching

To kick it off, we'll invite Stephen to come up (lol)

Though my nature is seductive,
She leaves me speechless, wanting and craving.
Continuously my heart has warned me to stop,
Fearing that I have lose myself in another
But for reasons beyond my abilities to explain
I remain . . . unfaithful.

_{*Grabs the mic from Stephen*}

I've got a confession y'all

I promise to speak the truth and nothing but the truth . . . .


Girl, I don't know what's this thing u have
so confusing, don't know what it means
weird because it aint right
keep it on d down low
thats why its tight, round and juicy
it sticks to my head at least 23 hours a day.
the last hour i'll tell you last
how do you feel? That's why I pamper u
what do u think? Do I hit it right?
I think I'm addicted
my little secret that no one knows
makes it more exciting
u crack me up, and your hella sweet
u make my head spin, everytime I see u, I smile
if you know what i mean.

okay okay, I'm addicted to onion bootays

rotflmaooooooooooooo

@post
hmmm, I might write my own later on

Cayon grabs the mic from Chamotex and ask
"say who was that charming fellow who came to the mic first"
Band Member: - His name is StephenP
      "Hmmm - I see"

              ***********
Hey StephenP or should I call you Mr Poetry
Your words still rocking my body -tickling my fantasy
Your smile, your voice, your lips touching the mic
I bet every woman call you "kid dynamite"
I shall always remember you with pleasure
Now I understand what Lena Horne meant when she sang "Stormy Weather"



Note:************ well i hope folks get the drift, so we can start a fresh friday******

Na wa ooo.
this Stephen fella is here again.

Nairaland's resident troubadour abi na paramour.

Whatever.

But the brother needs to get outta my grill

I'm in!!!

grey, cold and lifeless
blue and brimming with emotions
a pool of undiscernable colours when emotions collide
the eyes of my lover
eyes that haunt me till my dying day
*places the mic gently on the floor n walks away*


**never intended to ruin the mood please carry on**

_{crying from all thos emotions}


short, curt and sweet
i like the way you write girl

thanks

*slowly walks onto the stage,thoughtfully surveys the empty seats with a little smile*

Friday night,it's gon' be buzzing with life,
Stage lights, perhaps stage fright,
Tears,laughter,seduction and whatever comes after. . .
And without a doubt the usual crazies to complete the hype.
I'll definitely be back this friday with delight,
To enjoy the pizzazz of Cayon's Open Mic Night.

bows to the ghosts and strolls out**

In her cascading crown of glory, she strolls in a rhythmic saunter
They stare, she knows they would like to devour her like insects on nectar
Like a lamb to the slaughter
she steps up to the mic in an indecisive manner
All to deceive even the strongest of men and turn them to butter
"Hello everyone I am no lamb, but Stillwater."
