I see that your in chains...
U see that I'm in pains..
Tell me how a sober man would save a slave...
U know the way...
U know the way...
We left at dawn...
We sailed away...
We got to the bay...
Only to be enslaved in pains...
Tell it to my ears...
The wishes of a slave...
Feed me with the lies..
Ones that I could take...

G lory that my wicked eyes beheld in you.

L lowered me

O konkwo, the lion,the savannah symbol of greatness.

R eadily dancing to the cursed melodious notes your lips produced.

I dolized for the roundness of your hips,fullness of your lips, the dandy way you sip.

A h, might is not might. Might is the softness of your skin,the bones on your cheeks, your touch, your feel.

Z esty love, you awoke in me, and slowly slowly you killed the destructive spirit of me.

Gloriaz you are poison.


I was studying poetry forms and I came across acrostics. The first name that came to my mind was a clubmate's,Gloriaz. If you want an acrostic too,let me mail you my account number. Lol grin

[b] Please poets, If you choose to forgo the rules because you don’t know them rather than as a creative technique, your lack of knowledge will show and the poem will present as amateurish. Like I've observed, for all types of writing: some poets should learn the rules before they go ahead and break them. A literally technique known as Constrained Writing should be your guide.

However, in some instances, Poets don’t always follow the rules, which is why poetry is attractive to writers who are especially creative, rebellious, and enjoy colouring outside the lines.
But punctuations helps one/readers identify the line break and helps readers breathe between phrases.

Having studied Firestar's style of writing, I became convinced that indeed another Lorine Niedecker is here with us. She breaks her line in a way that signals a new idea without a hard end stop. She employs alliteration and assonance to cause a pleasurable sound play along with rhyme and near rhyme. The rhymes are often in words close to each other and not always at the ends of phrases. With her short lines and tight turns, punctuation may have caused the reader to stop in ways she preferred not to have happen. Other poets such as E. E. Cummings writes without punctuations and in such style. But the new school of thought stresses more on punctuations because It helps clarify a poem to the reader for better understanding. [/b]

What I'm trying to say is this, learn to punctuate your poems even when you think you are guided by grammar. A good poem is best appreciated by its punctuations which help the reader pause at break line, breathe and understand the poem.

Also note that the words at beginning of a line should be capitalized, the 'i' should be capitalized too and commas and full stops should be invited where necessary to spot and "ends stop".
Thanks.

DEATH
what is death?
it is life's end on earth.
a new rebirth. . .
into infinity's berth

it is inevitable.
also rather laughable,
it's first victim was abel,
patiently, it awaits the rabble.

if i then am doomed to die,
if i will, buried, lie,
i must move by,
with drive that is dire.

a difference, i will make.
i will mould the earth like cake. . .
to me, blessings rake.
for i shall be fulfilled, not fake.

POETRY
poetry is a picture
a product of culture
a prose allotrope
presented in a colourful rope.

they say a picture is worth a thousand words
a poem is worth a thousand worlds
for it is the language of the gods
a means to appeal to great lords

poetry is life and death
it is ying and yang of earth
it intertwines every breath
it is as warm as the hearth

a poem brings peace to the soul
it makes one wise as the owl
it is brain food in a figurative bowl
to inspire the heart is its goal

AGGRESSIVE POET

Shackles on my wrist
Jailer get me a prist
To night angels nd demons will feast
A prisoner who turned into a beast
Ate with the devil and gave him a kiss

A life he nevers wishes
A song he never sang
On his door hatred banged
And he fled at the sight of their fang
When tought and reason tangle
His mind skips as the church bell rang





My introductry page, pls tell me is I'm welcome

His fingers ran through my skin like a block of ice
Making me to shiver
He buried his lips on mine with his hands firmly around my waist
How i love the smell of his perfume
I rest my face on his muscle and he started kissing my neck with a sweet sense of gentleness
He pulled me up from d ground and i griped him with my leg,his hands where placed on my bossom,at that moment i could think of nothing
He placed me on the bed and then he kissed me from my neck to my belly botton n it left this childish smile on my face
He placed me in a position like i was begging for forgiveness ,he was the master and i was the slave
He locked his hand in my hair while he squeeze my tits............
Strange words kept on bashing out of my mouth
MOAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AN ACROSTIC

ISLAM
I slam a religious of peace. An epitome of perfection. A religion of modesty, unity and gaiety, the religion of Allah, no doubt.

S alam, thats the way we greet. Who dares questions Allah?, Islam, the perfect instution. A perfect way of life.

L ove is what is preached. May Allah be pleased with the Prophet;O Allah, guide me aright. Your promise, You never flout.

A Muslim is who I am, my feets, hearts and hands shall forever perform salat. When I see a Muslima, I say "Allah, make me a good wife.

M any are Muslims, few are Muslimah. Make my future as bright as your light, no matter my condition I’ll say Allihamdullillahi throughout.
