ayd91: 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,,
Four words; I am your fan.

There are some mistakes in the last two updates, please attend to them, or try using 'spelling check' after typing your work.

princesa: 6 months for a poem! shocked
even if were a novel!


Anyway like i said, i can pen down a poem within a short time, especially when am really emotional or under a certain inspiration. Writing a poem shouldn't be a struggle, it something that comes from deep within and that's the beauty of it. One can't feel the same way every hour or every month, in the next month or hour, you can pen down the poem differently. So why the waste, erasing and rewriting?

When i write a poem, the only thing i can possibly go back to change are words and maybe to brush up on the rhymes. others remain static.

A poem should flow out from a person in a particular situation at a particular time, and emotion don't remain the same always. That exactly is my point.

(Atleast, am an example of that).
hmmmmm

[quote author=ngwana.mobu]No hey!! It stays as it is. WE don't have a problem with it. Like someone has already said there are many things that have been named after him undecided[/quote]OH thank you dear...its like some people have never head of Equality...South Africa represents The Zulus, Xhosas, Ndebeles, three types of Basotho;(Bapedi-Limpompo), (Batswana-Northwest) and (Basotho-Freestate), the Tsonga people, the Vendas, the Swatis, the bushman, Indians, Germans, the Boers...and a whole lot of different nationalities from Africa...its a dirverse country. Mandela faught for equality! Not the way 'some South Africans' are going about, having way too many rights and treat their fellow men like dogs.

BluIvy: You are really speaking garbage dear. Which father of yours from Lesotho contributed? Walter Sisulu is Mandela's kinsman why would that be a bad thing? As for all the people white, yellow and green love Mandela more then anything. Why are you being so negetive? Whats your suggestion? Must they call it Moeshoeshoel land? And who are you to say No about what SA should call their land. By the way its a suggestion that should rejected or accepted by SAns dont you think? You sound a little jealous? undecided
I couldn't careless about S.A being called Madibaland you know, but there is actually one thing that bothers me, its where I am @tm, my country is called a country because Moshoeshoe faught for it, and let me remind you that both country's actually lend a helping hand to the other, I am a Southern African. Like it or not...btw, why would I be jealous? Why?

Cuddlemii: Hi.

Please, when your post is hidden, and you seek clarification, you can always do so, using the complaints thread. Sometimes, it is a mistake, or triggered by the use of inappropriate words. No one would just hide your post, just like that. I do like the reward thingy, it's very thoughtful of you. Thanks.

ayd91: pardon me, does this mean we aren't allowed to submit already published works (internet and print)? If this is so, its a bit unfair to those who have published the best of their works. And can a compromise be reached if the participant can show adequate proof of ownership?
If you can show us proof of ownership then we gladly accept your work.

I am very sure that poets are creative writers, they turn even something useless into a valued possesion. That's what makes them special, so please no duplicates, thrill the Judges.
