The following is a traditional poem,written in blank verse.it is arranged in 4 quatrain with simple and beautiful language that makes it unique. hyperbole, metaphor, personification were all present.

This is for my lovely family

I see no changes in the water
because we all live sincerely
we all live happily and comfortably
that no one cannever separate us

we all share things kindly
that know conflict displayed
we all have fun together
till the sunset

Happiness flows around us
that people envy us
charity is what we belief
that we cannot stop

furious is farther
love is near
we all live joyfully
and all we rejoice.

I'm sorry if I embarassed you,"chief said laughing" i m just curious besides,I have boys who are eligible bachelors and it would be my pleasure to have a daughter in law who is a doctor."
I smiled,and he added:
" even myself,I've not retired, so I don't mind to have a doctor as a third wife."he laughed".
well Dr Vanessa,thanks for coming.As you can see,I'm in good hands already. my b.p was quite high, but it has normalized. there is caurse for alarm.
I told him I was happy to hear that and I'll get across to my boss and brief him.when I was about to leave,chief told me to meet his wife who has already gone downstairs at that time to give me what is referred as transport money".
I was thinking of the money and trying to guess how much it would be,when I stepped out of chiefs room,as I drew near the staircase that descended to the living room, I saw a young man ascending the staircase,stepping on them briskly and confidently. I stood still, immediately I saw him,the staircase was small and would not ordinarily take two people at a time.But, I knew that was not the only reason I stood still.There are something in that man that simply held me spellbound. And at the same time,my heart beat faster.

"chief,this is the doctor from Dr Gabriel" his wife said introducing me.
The chief put aside the newspaper he was reading and stretch his hand forward to greet me,I stretched my hand too and shook hands with him,he said he was please to meet me.
" Dr Gabriel is on holiday," I began."that's why I'm here,he called me this morning and asked me to check you up," a very broad smile came on chiefs face, " I know your boss,he never misses his summer holidays.I wish I were like him,I would be very happy"
" you can be like him if you want!but you are placing money making over your health, we both laughed.
" its not easy," chief olatunji conceded,"I haven't trained myself like that,so I found it so difficult to break away from my job and be talking of a vacation."we both laughed again,then he said,you're most welcome,doctor.........em,by the way,you've not tell me your name,you are doctor who?
"doctor Vanessa"I replied
" oh beautiful name" chief exclaimed
you are as beautiful as your name.are you miss or Mrs? this time around,I didn't feel comfortable with the question, he was virtually handling me as a school girl,but for whom he was I told him rather cutely that I was miss Vanessa.

I was prepared to go to my parent's house but there is no way to tell that to my MD at that time.duty as called and I most respond.
That was how I drove to chief olatunji's place in ikoyi that morning. I was amazed when I got to his place and found out that the literally lived in a palace.the place was really opulent with evidence that he was in real money.
I could understand why my boss could break his rule for ones and contact me from his cherish holiday to go to his place.He must have been paying him huge sum of money for retainership.
unfortunately, when I entered in to the living room,I introduce myself to his wife,she told me he was upstairs and she took me there.
I had never entered a house so well furnished,so elegant and reeking of money.I wondered if Aso Rock,the seat of Nigerian Government could be as elegant as this.
when I was ushered in I found him reading newspaper.

third person point of view: the narrative are reported by a seemingly neutral,impersonal observer.e.g using he,she,they

third person omniscient: an all knowing narrator not only reports the facts but may also interpret events and relate the thought and feelings of any character.

third person limited: a narrator reports the facts and interpret events from the perspective of a single character.

example of first person point of view: check my write up. (secret of love)

my name is Vanessa Johnson,I'm a medical doctor.

my MD name is Dr Gabriel,he normally travelled to Atlanta in the united state for his summer holiday, he stays there for two or three months then comes back very strong and ready for more work.
one unusual thing about my MD is that whenever he travels for his summer holidays he likes to remain incommunicado, he leaves no telephone number for anybody to contact him and even his family, neither does he contact anybody,he uses his holiday period to rest,refocus his energy,so he would not like to be disturbed nor be reminded of anything about the hospital,patient or anything left behind,whatever the emergency at hand he would say we the doctors to take care of them.
you can imagine how surprised I was one Sunday morning,when my MD called me from Atlanta in the usa where he was on summer holiday.
Vanessa,how are you?happy sunday to you" he greeted warmly.
I'm fine sir,happy sunday,I'm glad to hear from you,how is america?
very fine,I'm doing well,I hope all is well with you people? we are all fine sir,thank you", I said and paused briefly for him to talk. I knew that behind this exchange of pleasantries there must be something pretty serious he wanted to discuss.
He cleared his throat dramatically, then said, there was an emergency he wanted me to attend to,I have one very special client I have been on his retainership for over 10years,his name is chief olatunji,I just received a message from his wife that he slumped and fainted, I understand he has been revived,but a doctor needs to check on him.I'll give you his address now so that you go immediately".he dictated the address to me and I assured him I would go right away.

This is a pure non fictional story about an hardworking young beautiful medical doctor who found love.

Narrative tech- I make use of 1st person point of view to make it natural also,placing myself as the female lead character.

Note: This is a non fiction story.no1 in anyway should tamper or manipulate without the consent of the author.Any resemblance to anyone either alive or dead is truly coincidental.

your criticism, appraisal is welcomed. hope you enjoy it.

It is highly vital to know that no matter how hard you try,u can never stop having challenges in life.No matter the challenges, don't give up.

when people hurt you over and over again,think of them as a sandpaper.They may scratch an hurt you but its you - who'll turnip shinning and polished,while they'll end up useless.

write,share and let's motivate each other with inspiring quotes......

Dedicated to da love of my life......
The world gave birth to beautiful roses,
those wit different missions,
I rang around the garden,
AW! it was hard to have one.

The sun was so bright,
that bleeded me,
never relent even I lost my shoes,

I was in taught,that rip my heart,
then,I realized there was raindrops flowing through my eyes,
but, I was optimistic that the table will turn.

with the coat of courage,
I walk along the desert,
sail through the ocean.
searching for the rose that saint as I wanted.

fortunate,I found a rose,
as beautiful as an angel,
as gentle as a dove,
as intelligent as an eagle,
as kind as a mother,
you are my rose.

poetry is a complex genre of literature therefore,try 2 mix archaic words wit modern english to make it look challenging.
