Cuddlemii: maybe we should play a game

Listening. . . .

Er, this thread bores now

I'm going back into hibernation

ghen ghen. . . . .

Cuddlemii: Interesting!
So, the age bracket of everyone here is btw 20 - 26.

All these little pikins

Y'all should be calling me aunty

How old are you, aunty?

HumbledbYGrace: I read the poem,ur quiet a KNIGHT I must add

Arigatou gozaimasu!

Correct. That was a adead giveaway though. So, there is the trend. Feel free to create your own quizzes. But don't post the answer till the next day so people can get in on it.

I opened these two for now. Dunno if they will be any good yet. I'm having a slow day

The aim of the thread is apparent. We're to give clues of a book and then everybody else guesses who the author is. It is permitted to research even if one hasn't read the book.

Rules: Three clues are to be given;

First one should encrypt the name of the books/author
Second one should say some vague fact about the author/book.
Third clue should say something about the book itself.

I will demonstrate.

Guess the name of the author:

1. His breakout book had something to do with a manuscript
2. Author is dead now
3. The main character in his only trilogy would be James Bond's rival if they existed together

Now y'all will guess the name of the author. I will give the answer no less than 24 hours after I have posted. Dunno if it will catch fire as I hope or if it will even be fun at all

And such a beautiful boy too. I'm so sorry.

And, um, a word of advice for you're still young. Be more careful what you share with strangers on the internet. The world is such a effed up place. That said, my deepest condolences. And no death At least not in your face death.

HumbledbYGrace: Nah man,death and love scares me but I think they r go along because wen a relationship ends something in u also leaves u behind.But here death to me is somehow My son died in a car accident and he was just 2years so I hope u understand wr m cumin from?

Oh Lord, I am very sorry. I couldn't have imagined such a thing or how that must have felt and still feels.

CrazyMan: Sup...hope you've kept our ladies busy...we wouldn't want them to get bored - now. Would we?

The ladies don't like me.

Cuddlemii: Today, I confirmed hbg is a real female.

I used to think y'all were d same person.

Same person with who?

Oh dear. Almost everything I write has to with someone dying I have a morbid fascination with death I guess. But also, with love. But not the sickly, immature running through the meadows hand in hand love. Dark, deep and deadly love, yeah, that's my ish

Lovely poems Firestar. I wish this was like twitter where I could comment on each of em. I'll just "like" em instead.

CrazyMan: Hi man

Hello Crazyman

Cuddlemii: ^Oh, please! start a thread already!

As ze lady wishes. Though i'm gonna be doing something a tad personal on the Poetry childboard. I will recycle ideas of old though. There really is nothing new under the sun, ya dig?

[size=14pt]Conscience[/size]

On his black stallion he watches

He watches the moon rise over the small city

The small city he will conquer before dawn

One dawn more among many, many dawns

He looks to his left at the flag waving in the breeze

The waving flag carrying a gruesome insignia

An insignia that holds to him meaning no more

No more meaning than the highest bidder

His gaze now, beyond the waving flag

Almost in a trance, as the hour draws near

And tugging at his chest the familiar feeling he totes

A pulsing feeling of dishonor hither

His gaze returns to the crested flag

As he holds back a traitorous tear

In the gleaming moonlight, as his sight hazes, he notes

With this dawn, the last of his conscience will wither

I must warn you, dear reader, that my poems veer towards the dark. Even when I write about love, there's a piercing melancholy about it. This is because I believe sadness is the deepest and one of the purest emotions. Sadness can be beautiful. Apologies in advance. And please, feel free to critique. This is the reason for posting them. And of course the perverse need for validation that humans are afflicted with

^^^ He's 26 or something. Moving on. . . . . .

Soooo, I guess I have to shut up about starting thread and actually start it. But I don't wanna. Instead I might just go resurrect some old ones

Hi Cuddles.

Hi everyone else

You light up my beard and Imma grow it back. Guess what can't grow back? Your head off your neck

Awww, so long. Am I permitted to say awww on here. I guess I can be permitted this one F-up. 'Sides, if you don't like it, rant your tail off.

Hmmmn. Kids that are actually kids, adults that turn out to be kids. Interesting. *Rubs beard*

I liked that thingie you wrote, Sino. I suppose it was from the Book of Rants. (c)

No comments on many many things.

How's the gang?

Yup, y'all be doing more than tripping. Now le voices in le head. Some S.O.B. musta put glue in my eyes and I can't keep em open for long. Just as well as the paper hustle continues tomorrow. Y'all have sweet dreams, well, sweeter dreams for y'all be dreaming already.

Arrivederci

Apparently one cannot even say teet on here. Pfff

And it's alright if you dunno what the hell I was talking about. I dunno meself. I must be high on this garri I just ingested.

Et tu, Sino? I see talk. I don't see threads being opened

Cuddlemii: apologies for the awkwardness.

those two wanted to pay me back with my own coin

Been fun to see. It was tat for tit for tat back again. What goes around comes around; that's why I go through the middle. Booyah!!!!

Oi, Sino. Open a thread to critique and enjoy poems. It is along the lines of one of the threads I wanted to open but you do it. Don't be shy.

Silkmoth33: @cuddle
Lol! Don't lie you like him don't you?

Lol!@ves its a problem free philosophy. Whats that got to do with love and hook ups? Lol!

Lol. You guys be tripping on some LSD yo. When did the spotlight swing? I thought you were supposed to be heartbroken or something.

Silkmoth33: Ok nkele, @cuddle, this is going to sound really unusual or maybe not:
Did you know that vescucci is a mod? Well i didn't.

The story begins when i went to t.v. section to post a topic on d.s.t.v being a newbie to his section i was driven by shear curiousity to know who were the mods there.
Lo! and behold his name was there and thats when i decided to play cupid and come up with a plan to knot your lives together.

I taught perhaps your hope of being virtually with mactunji was hindered based on religious grounds, so i was hoping you would give ves a try too.

Ahem. How do you guys even talk to each other off here. I initially assumed y'all know each other outta here but now, I'm not so sure. Anyways, If Maclatunji is outta bounds for being a Muslim, I'm definitely in space somewhere for I'm a deist. Nice try though. Cuddlemii is probably taken anyways.

Now, let's sing kumbaya. Hakuna matata
