Poems For Review › Re: Goodbye. by jaywhoco(m): 5:41pm On Nov 22, 2017

Tempted

It was love I felt
As the wind had it spelt
For all the gleam I feel
My heart at yonder thrill

The blues of that evening
Had my eerie eyes dining
Such clasp of tempting feathers
Had my heart glow off its boarders

Let the mind spin such chemistry
For I will not halt making at such history
As my toes set on those tracks
My mind tread traces of many marks

For You have blessings on my soul
Having your love makes me whole
And those who trek life with love not
Tell tales of woe of life nought

It was you I felt
As your voice had it spelt
For all the soothing I feel
Our hearts, the grace of love to seal

As the rainbow paints the sky
Your sunlight flashes my form
Hurray, I sing as you bellow
You say welcome, I say hello

Poems For Review › Re: Goodbye. by jaywhoco(m): 5:37pm On Nov 22, 2017

I miss you

Wonderful!
That word with marvels
Paint the essences
Of the times shared

Drunken evocations
Those are the tingling aches
My soul dears
Of our thoughts paired

Beautiful!
Are your smiles
How they fly
Even in my fantasies

Courage!
Rending I am
These tall frights
Budding in my heart

You!
And me and you
Is all the world
I ever want to find

This is wrong by all standard

This soldier is still a child.

This is a violation of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict (OPAC): Adopted by the UN General Assembly on 25 May 2000 and entered into force on 12 February 2002.

And Nigeria is a signatory to this Geneva Convention abolishing the use of child soldiers.

There is hope for Africa....what I need now is the youth in Nigeria to sit up,stand and take power from drunk old men this country....same people have been ruling us ever since independence it needs to stop.

DarkRebel69:
I read "Janelle Asked To The Room" some minutes ago and, well, I can't say that I understand the purpose of this bitter harangue. It's either the OP did not read the piece or that he read it and elected to give it an entirely different and exaggerated interpretation.

Where was the mockery of Melania's son?

This is the part where Adichie made mention of Barron (tell me what is inimical about this description):-

"Sometimes Barron came down to the gym during their sessions, sweetly shy and polite, dependent on his mother for his sense of self. There was a delicacy about him that reminded Janelle of her son."

(Even if she did mock Melania's autistic child (which she did not do), is it the business of the reader to apply himself to the moral aspects of a work of fiction? I don't think so.)

This is just Matthew effect at play here. If any unrecognized writer had written that piece, no one would care to give it a second look, but it's being hyped up beyond merit because Adichie authored it.

Frankly, the piece is barely above average. I found it rather gauche and stale, and even the occasionally piquant metaphors could not salvage the sinking ship. It is probably Mrs. Adichie's poorest work thus far.

I, for one dislike a writer making overt allusions to a public figure (just like the annoying thing Eminem does when he takes potshots at celebrities). In my eyes, such an act reeks of a poverty of creativity. Every good artist (writers, poets, etc.) knows that the subtler approaches usually have the most resounding impact.

See for instance what George Orwell did with Animal Farm. He could have just referred to Stalin and Leon Trotsky directly and the entire novel would be sure to numb the reader's senses with an unimaginative obviousness, but instead he took the long-winded albeit powerful route by choosing to give us porcine presentations of Stalin (Napoleon) and Trotsky (Snowball), and of course the ignorant and mindless proles (Boxer, Clover, the ducks, the sheep). And that is why Orwell remains my favourite writer of all time.

Like I said, I think you people are over-reacting.

I like you man...

What then is a first hand experience?
Did he not experience the war?
Was it a hearsay?

He gave his own account of the war, Adewale did the same.
You don't try to put down another person acct, base on another acct you read. I'm sure you didn't witness the war but they both did.

I have not tried in any way to put
down Achebe. I respect that great man. well I am sorry if my position offended. I was only trying to kindly improve your fund of knowledge about those sad events. for me several opinions on a matter make for more insight.

What do you understand by 'first hand account?'.

Mr Achebe wasn't enlisted in the baifran military. He didn't 'fight' in the war. Granted he played some part. He was Ojukwu's emissary for most of it anyway... representing Biafra out of Biafra.

kimbraa:
Chinua Achebe was in his 30s during the Nigerian civil war if he said he was born in 1930. What more do I need to read when I already read an account from someone caught up in the war?. Again, his use of words got me engrossed.

smh...I have read both books. true Achebe did well; but a first hand account? nope.

They where at a disadvantage. I just finished reading Achebe's "There was a country". His was a first hand experience, and from his narrative, Britain and other countries who Nigeria pledged allegiance to aided Nigeria with alms and ammunition.

read adewale ademoyega's ' why we struck'. that's is a first hand experience
