AudreyTimms: Imagine! I'll be your grim reaper when your time comes.

Grim Reaper?

Divepen, I think my network will be bad tomorrow!

SmellMyFart: *sprays perfume*
All iz well now

It should, but your signature...

Haa! Olusharp! Must you torture us with this long poem? Even 'Paradise Lost' and 'Upon an Honest Man's Fortune' combined are not half as much!

Divepen: Questionaire...

Is any post still coming up today?

SmellMyFart: So what's going on here?

We don't entertain flatulence here, sir.

Divepen: sorry, it seems Larrysun's prayer is been answered TiffanyJ might trade her time with yours...

And how is that my prayer?

AudreyTimms: What is it, Mister Questionnaire? Remember, your own time is coming!

Actually, I've forgotten the question. I'll remember after I've posted mine.

AudreyTimms: Sorry, I thought I was through. Please jump out of the window now! Maybe but I was trying to put life into the normal boring knocking routine.

Lol! I'll jump out only when I'm angry. Today, I'm as happy as a lark.

TiffanyJ: Divepen, i don't think I can make it on thursday o. I have games by 4pm to 7pm and it's compulsory. I don't know what to do now.

Lol! Games? Seriously?

So, no one is lecturing anymore?

Divepen: Can yu simply send ur write up to, then I will post for u and ask people to ask you your questions later...

Busted!!!

noble4d: Huh! I'll be traveling tomorrow from cross river to Lagos and you know naija network can hinder me from posting.........Don't know what to do Boss Divepen

I'll be travelling from London to Los Angeles, but I'm still gonna post. No excuse!

Well, the above post is a lie.

OMA4U: why three? Noooo

It's too much.

AudreyTimms: You're welcome, dear.

You're going nowhere, Audrey. I'm not done with you. I have a question.

AudreyTimms: Ewww! Gross! I did say you shouldn't overdo it. I gave examples of when you should show.

I love the part where the character broke her phone to show her anger (although that's not something would do, I would rather punch the pillow or jump out of the window) but the knocking at the door or gate part doesn't sit well in me. It's over-stated.

texanomaly: Can I help?

I came, I saw, I fled.

AudreyTimms: Amma chase you in your dream tonight with a cutlass!

I won't sleep.

Wow! Audrey...I'm speechless!!!

No, I'm not.

As a matter of fact, you've told us to become storyshowers, rather than storytellers. Okay.

But I'm sure you will agree with me that, when writing a book, not all events or situations should be 'shown'. Instead of simply writing 'He died poor' and move on, some may want to spoil the flow by unnecessarily 'showing' by writing 'The man whose upper and lower appendages had been rendered shrunken from lack of nutrients a good food might have restored closed his eyes slowly and expired in an indigent circumstance.' See, an overly display of 'showing'.

texanomaly: Hichaaaa!!

Watch it young man!

You wont see me till it's too late O!

Lol!

AudreyTimms: My network is so shitty right now! I feel like crying

I don't believe you.

Divepen: We are very sorry Audreytimms is still having Trouble with Network and would post her talk later in the day

INJUSTICE!!! You want Tex to face the crucifixion alone?

texanomaly: Aren't you always?

LOL!!! Apparently, you've not met me in my most serious mien. Ask Princesa.

From Poetry to Rap, from Rap to Song, from Song to Music, from Music to

OMA4U: of course, poetry is life and everything. Nonsense is part of life and sometimes poetry can be non'sense.

Thanks Texanomaly.

I'm learning something new here. Hurray!!!

texanomaly: So says LarrySun!

I'm being intentionally naughty.

SammyHoe: Yes, phrases and sentences could be branded. For example as little as we were then, we branded the word OLYMPIC into a complete sentence thus:
Olu
Leave
Your
Mother,
Police
Is
Coming

Also, in one of my stories on Nairaland, Henry wanted to correct an inferiority complex habit in Keisa Tyler's life(KEISA TYLER is a sickler in that story). Henry branded her name as:

Kick
Every
Inferiority
Shame
Away,

Then
Your
Lifespan
Expands
Rapturously

With that statement, Keisa Tyler lived a long life

From what you have given us so far, single words are only being branded into sentences. I understand that. My question is, can a sentence be branded into longer sentences?

Like:

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy goats

Can each letter of that sentence be branded?

texanomaly: Frankly, I don't think all poetry is worth reading. It's like anything in life. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Who am I to tell others what they find beautiful?

Touche! God bless you, ma'am. Some poetry are just too ridiculous for the eyes to behold.

And Divepen, I may be writing about only three punctuation marks tomorrow.

Where is AudreyTimms? It's time she lectured us! Audrey!!!

noble4d: Huch! The question is for tex to answer

Oh, my bad.

noble4d: @ Good writeup...yap, epic narrative poem! What is an epic and a narrative poem?

I believe Epic Poem falls under Narrative Poem. Since Narrative Poem tells a story, Epic Poem tells the stories of people who have done some brave things in the past.
