(5)Poetry (ancient Greek: ποιεω (poieo) = I create) is an art form in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content. It consists largely of oral or literary works in which language is used in a manner that is felt by its user and audience to differ from ordinary prose. Extarcted from here; http://www.poetry.org/whatis.htm continue reading and exploring poetry on the link above. Its an awesome tool for poets and upcoming artists, for competitions too. I enjoyed this; http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoken_word and this; Terms in poetry http://www.poetry.org/termsin.htm helped me to understand poetry and love it more. |

(3)Short stories; Brief narratives, with carefully limited action that allows the writer to focus on one main plot complication. Check him out, he has a some short stories. https://www.nairaland.com/royver |

(2)Non fiction: “Nonfiction” refers to literature based in fact. It is the broadest category of literature. Types of Non-Fiction There are four main types, or modes, of nonfiction that are defined by their purposes. •Narrative nonfiction tells stories of real-life events. Examples include autobiographies and memoirs. e.g https://www.nairaland.com/2009687/emmanuella-novella by Standd Some narrative nonfiction is reflective writing, which shares the writer’s thoughts and feelings about a personal experience, an idea, or a concern. Examples include reflective essays, personal essays, and journals. e.g https://www.nairaland.com/1296316/path-righteousness-scopys-perspective by Obinoscopy •Expository nonfiction informs or explains. Examples include analytical essays and research reports. •Persuasive nonfiction presents reasons and evidence to convince the reader to act or think in a certain way. Examples include editorials and political speeches. (Those stories that grace front page everyday about GEJ saying something at a gathering or so.) •Descriptive nonfiction uses details related to the senses to create mental images for the reader. Examples include character sketches and scientific observations. *note, (Royver will help here) |

I'd appreciate if 'we' the RESIDENTS of this section nominate among ourselves because we know who takes which segment by the horn and leaves us yearning for more blood, or that person who turns the character in his/her into a handsome guy we fantasize about when we are alone. Catching my drift? Its going to be like this; (To make this easy we'll do it like the example below.) HumbledbYGrace: I nominate LarrySun for fiction/non-fictionIf he agrees that will mean he'll be in charge of the works that will go to front page from his segment, the rest will go for everyone that will be nominated, you can also nominate yourself. We will need atleast five people on each segment, this work isn't for the moderator alone, let's extent our hands where possible? CC OMA4U D9ty7 TemitopeDaniel TheRock555 Repogirl PrettySpicey Princesa Sammyhoe MaziOmenuko Vantee20 Your opinions please? If I didn't mention your name please don't hold it against me, I am new here. |

MERRYCHRISTMAS Hello guys, authors, aspiring authors, literature analysts, critics, readers, spectators, cheerleaders, campaign managers, first to comment crew, France students etc. The quest to make front page and to exhibit this section in a way that will do us all proud did not fall on death ears. Literature section always has to elbow through the crowd that it has lost its course on Front Page. Which in my opinion is not fair at all but the thing is WE DON'T ATTRACT TRAFFIC like the other sections that falls under entertainment. How do we do that  So I came up with this idea, I pray it works out for all our good. I've grouped the segments that makes literature of which we will group ourselves according to segments. We will work together as a panel to scout for stories, assess, analyze, critique, and try as much as we can to put them in order before they reach front page. I don't enjoy comments like; “there are so many spelling errors, you could have edited your work before it graced the front page!” While there are so many people who can help me hoe all the weeds before I exhibit my field to the whole public. BUT remember as a writer you have your own style and its what makes you stand out of the crowd. Style is the particular way in which a writer uses language. Style reflects an author’s personality. Factors that contribute to an author’s style include level of formality, use of figurative language, diction or word choice, sentence patterns, and methods of organization. Don't change your style because you want to make front page, be original because we love you just like that....just leave room for improvement and growth, never forgeting the backbone for criticism. |
| Nairaland General › Re: Your Worst/weird Experience With Knockout(banger) While Growingup by HumbledbYGrace(f): 12:35pm On Dec 16, 2014 |
We call them crickets here....they used to terrorize us with them a lot, my mother never allowed us to have them @ home. But just last Christmas my niece and his buddies had some fun, my drunk cousin helped them ignite one they call Volcano We thought the thing hadn't caught fire when he held it in his hand, the explosion had me running inside the house, the next thing he said was "Damn I blew my fingers off!" He ran away, got caught by the security guard @ the gate, the thumb, the index finger and the middle fingers were hanging on some pieces of skin. We rushed him to the hospital, he had to have surgery the following day. Now he has 3fingers left on one hand. Things got banned from the whole family....worst year end of my life 2 Likes |
