Poems For ReviewAre You A Poet? Why Do You Write? by texanomaly(op): 11:46am On Sep 09, 2014
I often write because I must. Sometimes something will pop into my head and it won't go away till I get it out. Other times it comes and goes. I wrote this a while back about the "process" for me.


**********


Some things, which weigh heavily on my mind, are difficult to raise. Many times emotions flood my consciousness, and make dredging laborious. The content that lurks deep within can get mired down in the depths of my imagination. Other times they are like flotsam and jetsam. Floating on the surface where I can simply scoop them up, as I search through the wreckage for surviving ideation. Then, with careful introspection, the allegory will emerge. I hope the latter is the case. Either way, rescue is the objective.


Unfortunately, these lost thoughts, these swirling eddies in my mind, can be inescapably caught by the rip tides beneath. They can be dragged away forever, if not reached in time. Occasionally they surface later. These poor creatures wash up onto the beach. They are beaten and blooded by sharp coral, and other critters who are also fighting for the surface. Once they make it to shore, I pick them up, clean them off, and the voyage begins again. We pray the passage is tempest free, and the sun shines on our faces. With the wind at our backs, and the Lord beside us, we set our sails again. The hope of clear skies and placid waters on our minds and in our hearts.

By Tex

sexfiend: well, I am highly intuitive,And i'm always right 90 percent of the time . I could be wrong ,but i'm not sure . i just find it strange that you would be attracted to this forum. what exactly is your aim on the forum? is your boyfriend Nigerian? are your friends Nigerian? since there are a lot of nigerians in Houston Texas. do you like Nigerian music etc. ? is your husband or relative an expatriate oil worker in Nigeria?
are you planning on moving to Nigeria? why ? why would you leave texas and move to Nigeria?
my analysis and 6th sense simply indicates that you are black nigerian masquerading as white . although I could be wrong .
I'm white. Believe what you want. There is nothing I can do to convince you, even if cared to.

sexfiend: I think you guys are a bunch of sycophantic nuisance . the same selected boring propaganda pics from different angles,although the stadium design looks modern and nice,the major entrance road which leads all the way to the hotel and two other long stretch of roads which cuts off through the traffic circle were not too bad . I was in Uyo three weeks ago and I can post my own version of Uyo which is far different and real than what these sycophants have here. I would chose Calabar and enugu as way better than uyo
Texanomaly ,if you are white ,what connection do you have with Nigeria? what brought you to this forum? if my intuition and serves me right , are you a black nigerian woman masquerading as a white girl for your own personal reasons ? perhaps to get more respect or whatever warped reason. it just seems strange to me .
You caught me! I can not longer continue this charade. embarassed
