I think there should be a transparent guidelines for the prize. It shouldn't just be based on the readers' comments which peradventure prone to bias.
And any work here that must win the prize should be an outstanding work that will speak for the ingenious works of nairaland writers. NO MEDIOCRITY PLEASE

texanomaly: You tell me. What do we do? I sent an email to OMA4U.

I've replied.

Texanomaly, we need to. So do we need a thread for that? And divepen, I think you'll need to re-visit the arrangement order of the program to have coherent and chronological effect, such as things you need to know about plotting - royver will replace branding your name - sammyhoe. You got my point?

Can i also get a slot for stories and poems? Divepen

Divepen: oga mi...It is my fault, I joined literature very late, and that did not make me see some Emeritus.
And I did not do my homework, if not I would have seen them.
I know I need A Knock..
Whitemosquito almost gave me one..lol

No amendments? Because their immense contributions will go a long way. Ishilove....ishil....ish..cough! Cough!

LarrySun: Lol! I hate troubling your waters. I'll vent my trouble on some other peeps

But not on feeble mind so you don't break spinal cords

Hey Larry sun I sight you! Expect myriads of question for renaissance like you. Princesa, noble4d, hey the great poet timpaker, to name few. It's gonna be fun. I'll be glad to meet my teacher. Timpaker, be prepared to share a crumb of your poetic biscuit and a cup of the juice.

Has this 'mention' thing stopped working? Cos I didn't get any mention.
this really a nice concept. I'm loving it more and can't wait to learn from awon mentors. Divepen, didn't you invite ishilove, mazi, and humblebygrace?

noble4d:

Hmm! 10 syllables agreed...but u did injustice to flourish sonnet . In sonnet, we don't only pour out our thoughts or ideas but we also communicate... hope u know what I mean. your writeup is matched up, I think you should re-write...thumbs up

Noble cares

itz still a secret ooo.

you say secret? okay..

noble4d: I have problems with ur sonnet.

A sonnet is a poem of an expressive thought or idea made up of 14 lines, each being ten syllables long.

there are two patterns in sonnet:

1, English pattern
2, Italian pattern

but let me emphasize on English pattern......


The English pattern is written as 3 quatrains followed by a rhyming couplet. e.g ab ab,cdcd,efef, .

Note: pay attention on your syllables.

Noble cares

I have 10 syllables on each line with a rhyming couplet abab, cdcd, efef, and also it's iambic pentameter.

Thanks...cares received!

Canme4u: Okay, you called me and now am here.

Welcome, sir! I need you to read, comment, and crtique my poems. you can scroll up to begin

Sonnet one

Shall I say my delight to write you this?
If by no means I will burn down the earth
Whirl wind has shaken me in my lone days
I’ve wandered lonesome in the shade of death
Since you bid me a valedictory way
Hell fury of the heaven’s eye burns me
And my face’s clutter’d tears cast a ray
In a mirror before me you I see
Sadness has made you wear an olden grey
And I shall change your old skin back to youth
Even if your love’s strength seem to decay
I hope you race back with a cheetah’s foot
As this rich words poetry plead for my wrong
My love shall in my verse forever live young

Firestar is really firing the stars!

Happy Birthday, D9ty7. Long life and prosperity!

Congratulations! Audrey Timms

Princesa, no regard for short story in this aspect.........
