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

if poetry is ludicrous, then it's nonsense. But I think we're discussing good poetry.

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

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

Thanks Texanomaly.

Texanomaly, you said the type of Poetry everyone has at least come across is song. I beg to disagree, I'd prefer you to say music. All songs are not music, therefore all songs are not poetry.
Is there anything poetic in most Nigerian songs?

texanomaly: Tell that to the child that sleeps on the floor, because he's less likely to catch a stray bullet there. Tell that to the kid who never knew his father, because he was killed in a drive-by. Tell that to the mother who is burying her 3rd child. Tell that to the child who is afraid to walk to school. Not everyone in this world can be reached by soft rock, or soft, sweet melodies. Some people need a place were they can relate. We never know the place in the heart where poetry comes from, or how it affects others.

sometimes we may not figure out anything in a rap music, but a poem that's read aloud allows the audience to get the flow, the rhythm and rhymes. In fact all poems are meant to be read aloud, because they must possess the literary devices above.

Texanomaly, I don't fully agree with this. It seems you're mincing spoken word poetry/slam with rap music. Though spoken word poetry can be recited slowly or fast, it's still not the same as rap.

I've attended few spoken word poetry events and I've watched many of it's videos. Spoken word poetry, whether fast or slow, still evokes emotions rap music may likely not.

IN MY HOME

In my home
I hear the awful news
Shooting out of aggrieved lips
Like a dozen of stray bullets
piercing into our feeble hearts

Clans sob with heavy breath
Chanting canticles- manacles of death shackles him
In the throes amidst of unbearable agony
Myriads of pains serenade the air
Blowing every mournful head

My feeble heart splinters into little fragments
Like the crumbs of broken clay pot
Tears wander through the aisle of my cheeks
When eyes witness you in cluttered garment
In an icy form of numb frozen body

My home
That was once a mansion of smiles
Is now filled with baskets of sorrow
As you vanish like rose that vacates the bouquet
To reside in a lonely vast of small mug

all4naija: Those are precious times you could have used for scientific research on ways to move humanity forward while wasting it on writing poems.

This shows that you have little or no knowledge of importance of literature in the society.
