Have you ever thought about the stress involved when posting a story online? I have just a few words with you.
1. Repogirl is married with kids from what I heard. How do you expect her to cope with her duties as a wife and mother and still update regularly?
2. Have you ever written a story before or posted a story before? If you have, you will agree with me that typing from your head and posting is a huge task and if you are not in the mood, you will end up dropping a wack update.
3. Repogirl has a life outside Nairaland which is more important than the story she is putting up here. As far as I am concerned, she is the one to decide when to update.
You don't have to go to the extreme. Give her more time and she'll update.
Am sorry if my comment pulled the wrong chords. I meant nothing but peace and patience.

Can I get a hand with spoken words?. Would really appreciate it!.

Krystalxxx:
Sir please our poem is actually about the two sides ,the moon and the sun and I have just submitted our analysis. I hope that will be okay

laykorn:
Yes sir,it is. But it scores only 10 marks. The guys had enough faith in what they wrote. They aren't scared of losing 10 marks. That's the message sir and I don't think it should be a problem from anyone's part.
Thanks sir.

laykorn:
Analysis is not compulsory sir. It just makes us lose 10 marks. I hope I am right.

How is everyone doing? I'm wondering how it is going with your partner. Is it possible to put out a quality piece in a few days?

vonn:

timpaker:
Write us a Diamente poem na

OMA4U:
Seriously, Timpaker and noble4d's knowledge of poetry is amazing. I always sit to learn from you guys. Thank you for your contribution to poetry.

timpaker:
Now I'm a bit confuse .

timpaker:
The passion lit in your words..
Not everyone put effort into what they didn't study in full display and authority.
Kudos!

timpaker:
No wonder!

timpaker:
Just curious

timpaker:
Yeah.. I do.

you studied/studying English Language in school huh?

timpaker:
mirrored and trijan refrain?

Yeah I love refrains too eg. Terzanelle and Villanelle (even though they can be quite tasking at times)
my fav.s are narrative e.g epic, cowboy, ABC, octavarima, terza/rima and other short forms, and that's cuz these forms takes time to write.

timpaker:

I believe my guy, Obinnau will do something about it soon.


Remember the first Nairaland Collaborative Poetry Competition is holding this Saturday and we need the awareness abeg..

Thank you.

timpaker:
The structure of the poem is what I dislike... I prefer other forms and shy away from the sonnet.
You dey try oooo

timpaker:
You're quite right bro. I didn't check the word count before terming it a 'sonnet', I only just checked the Shakespearian style he used and the iambic pentameters. (my bad )

The word count is what I hate most about it (sonnet).

But contemporary poets tend to flow with the rhyming i.e. ababcdcdefefgg; ababbcbccdcdee or 8 lines of abbaabba/octave and 6 sestet of cdcdcd (I think) scheme while ignoring the syllabic count which are mutually exclusive to separate genres of the sonnet.

I hope you understand moi?

AmiableJay:
I really appreciate your constructive criticism. I won't get into the defense to hide the flaws in the poem but the truth is that I'm well aware of all the rules of versification but I deliberately disobeyed them. When I first wrote it I had a normal free verse poem in mind but due to the cuttings and editing I decided to introduce a sonnet within my own convenience.
I'll try to transform it into a conventional sonnet though.
