Thank you Sir.

Listening to the silence

Unspoken
Untapped
Unheard

Listen and learn
The words of the world

Pick a date
Feel the wind
Absorb the sensation
Communicate with the air

Run into the showers of blessing
Feel the drops descend on your skin
Feel it soak you
Feel your body respond
Communicate

Open your mouth
Appreciate the taste of food
Smell the scent
And feel the flavour communicate

Hold your baby
Listen to him coo
Learn his words
Speak his language
Communicate

When the night is here
And the blinds are drawn
And you lay in bed
Couple in sync
Reach out and communicate

Listen to the words unspoken
To the silence pregnant with speeches
Listen and learn
Learn to communicate

simple and nice... nature truly speaks, one just have to learn to listen and absorb it.

finally catch up today... Lleign you doing great! Keep it coming...this is bae!

Toiling and toiling in youthful glory
I made and lost constantly, severally
In dreams, riches, love and hopes
Till I seemed to be unable to do better again
Like the golden age is gone
With getting, strength going down
With dreams, vision dying out
With talent, passion running out
With love, heart seemed missing.
Patience, calls the voice from inside
Patient with this world about me
Patient with myself.
Patient with this world about me
Turning and turning in a sporadic bursts of change
Patient with this people about me dishing out random colors
Patient with myself for seemingly comprehending
But ignorant and still acting.
What is a man without patience?
What is a woman without patience?
Like the life-giving air, you hardly see it moves
Like the tree standing firm, everly, but growing
Like the sun burning bright, you never know how it dies
Patient
Patience
It is not waiting
But the joy of waiting knowing IT is going to come
Patient, like life is to the world,
To you, to me,
through the good and the bad
Patient
Patience
Not riches nor wisdom is the virtue of all virtues
Patience
Patience
Patience.

Here I am
me with myself
in a thriving world of varieties.
Here I am
at the end
as I was
when I started
me with myself.
Journeyed,
yet same spot I took off
there, here I am, again
Deja vu.
I boomeranged
going out good and true, I returned-
gored,
flew, on the wings of trust-
and love, high
at the peak, they miraged,
incoming!
like the fallen angels
Down
down to here, I am
me with myself.
No better person to trust,
no better person to love,
no better person can give me- greater joy or lesser hurt than myself.
Here I am
upped and downed,
struggled,
gone with the wind
back home like the birds;
having flowed with the tide,
loved hopefully,
here I am,
again
ebbed back to the shore -
of myself
but now
stronger,
better,
richer
and wiser.

The award is done by any member who feels it is worthy of being done.

Poems make front page but it must have really being a great one

Okay. Thanks, it feels good to be heard. I really appreciate.

Although I'm only productive in poetry section, I think you all @writers are doing a great deal writing those prose. I must say big up to you all. I don't think there's a way of stopping people from uploading whatever write up they've got. Everyone needs a room for improvement. But I think certain steps can be taken to encourage a good writer, maybe like securing front page or some kind of general award of recognition. I don't know if Oga Seun can be reached, if he can, I'll suggest there be a group of writers from this section to notify him of any piece that is front page worthy. Or if this section can be guarantee some number of front page every week, a kind of slot, I think that might help improve things to start with. In addition, I know there are seasoned writers here whose works are flying in front page, you know yourself without mentioning names . I think you guys can help things by reading and giving your opinion on the works of others. @divepen1, a group, perhaps whatsapp or so, would help with ur no. 1 suggestion. This my opinion though, I hope I make common sense . Nice thread.

Suspense wan kill me here. Happy new year Lleign, pls come post something here.

Pranaya:
Awwweww. Andyaustin this is beautiful all the way. A very nice version I must say. Otherroom where art thou?

It's a privilege, ma. But there's something about yours...so inspiring! Thanks for the inspiration.

#Pranaya, you and OtherRoom caused this o!

You make me worth less
Amidst those beauties, glorious about you
I think you are flawless
Gracefully unique in all you do

I've been lured to wish a switch
To walk in your shoes, see through your eyes
It's a shame, I became a bi!tch
Jaundiced with discontent, I skipped to realize

I'm me, a child of my own mother
I'm me, the way I should be
The world better understand, I can't be no other
Like it or not I'm me, I'm me, I'm me!

Elastically, I've been stretched to go farther
To be this and that, by a world that has no limit
I've reached my breaking point, I can't go no further
It's only natural to be me, now I rightly dig it

I've gone through life differently
I can't even be who I was yesterday, how can I be you?
I've been white, green, pale, red, blue...
I think I'm the best ever there is, possibly

I'm me, the child of my own beautiful mother
I'm me, just the way I should be
The world better know, I can't be no other
I'm me, I'm me, fu!ck it I am me!!!
