pls royalroy, take this to frontpage. This is really bad, these are the kind people that give Nigerians bad name. For one I think the guy needs to be disgraced and I think if findingtruth decides to take it up with the guy through lawyers, the guy would be deported back to Nigeria. This is the height of deceit and they need to be disgraced. And you know the worst thing is this kind of people will still go to church to give testimony.

This is just another feeble attempt to deride Islam and our great prophet. Islam is a religious of peace and we won't stop the bloodshed until the whole world realises this and return to Allah,the one true God.
Allah akbar! Allah akbar!
@the bolded
It is statements and attitudes like this that deride Islam.

Thanks man! I've taken note of that smiley Sometimes I hesitate to put most of what I imagine down cos I'm bothered people might not get the clear picture. I'm working on getting better at communicating clearly through writing and poetry. Any ideas to help me improve on this?..

Cc.. texanomaly
If you want to become a better poet, read all the poetry you can get your hands on. Just reading good books on its own will help you gain a better and more extensive vocabulary. It will also build better grammar skills.

The more poetry you read, the more comfortable you will become. Attending the Nairaland poetry club classes will help too. Then practice, practice, practice.

Be sure to read your poem out loud. Listen to the way it sounds. Is there a better way of saying something so that it sounds better? Never be satisfied with your first draft. Set it aside. Then come back later and read it again.

Good luck smiley

So far, we've talked about sound effects, and visual effects. Others have talked about structural effects. Another important part of creating a poem is deciding on its content, or what the poem is actually saying. In the our next class we'll look at how writing a poem can, in many ways, be similar to writing a story.



Challenge:
1) Try writing some more difficult acrostic poems.

2) The Minute Poem -also called Traditional Minute poem is rhyming verse form consisting of 12 lines of 60 syllables written in strict iambic meter. The poem is formatted into 3 stanzas of 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4 syllables. The rhyme scheme is as follows: aabb, ccdd, eeff.

3) or choose a prompt and write a poem using any of the lessons you've learned so far from any teacher. Be sure to tag that teacher and any others you would like to review it.
I just realized there are no prompts to choose from on 3.

Here they are:




Poetry Prompt - Write a poem that starts with a one word title, two words in the first line, three in the next, and continues by adding one word per line.

Poetry Prompt - Write a poem that describes a walk through a house from the perspective of a child.

Poetry Prompt - Write a poem concerning the "absence" of something. Consider the absence as a positive, or a negative.

Poetry Prompt - Write a poem that begins with a description of an event, telling what appears to be happening. Then give a description of what is really occurring.

Is capitalization still important in an acrostic poemhuh
Capitalization is the choice of the writer these days. I'm a little old school when it comes to poetry, so I like to do it. Your acrostic is really good. smiley

LOL! "Do It Herself Workshop". If only our women/ladies can get involved in buildings in Nigeria.
I know quite few that were interested and not leaving everything to Oga "Baba Lagbaja".
The in nairaland, there is Mama GabbyTabby, MisKintz, and few more, but not sure how involved is Sister Texanomaly... but at least we have few, but they are mostly Diasporan ladies.

@ the bolded
Sister texanomaly is big time into DIY. I watch all those home renovation programs on TV. I love that stuff. I am remodeling my bathroom. I scraped the popcorn ceiling. I took the paneling off the walls and put up new sheet rock, taped and floated before texturizing the walls and ceiling. I even bought a machine that blows it on. It's messy but worth it. Then painted. After that I replaced the chipped grout and laid vinyl flooring. Next is crown molding and putting the baseboards and window moldings back on. Can't wait to finish. smiley

One of my hobbies is woodworking. I love power tools! grin
