@khadijahmuhammad,
maybe you need to re-
read the lines again. It is
obvious that it is a dream,
the actual content is the
beautiful world the
persona dreamed of.
Thanks all the way.

A poignant story with vivid imagery. I almost felt like watching rather than reading the story. This is one of my very best in naijastories, and I love the way you introduced the characters with their […]

yes, i started writing poetry by falling in love with nusery rhymes and I am a huge fan of poetry with rhymes. The most interesting part of writing poetry for me, has got to be the art of finding the words that have a similar ending or sound with the last word in the line above, which also makes the poem make sence. it is a truly creative process and for me, it's just fun. most of my poems have rhy,mes in them
i have however grown to appreciate that poetry comes in all sorts of forms and can be deep and rich and meaningful even with little or no rhymes. The most important thing has just got to be passing a message across in clearly stated forms that people can understand, appreciate and pick at first reading. this can be done directly, or indirectly using allegories.

Some poems here on naijastories do that for me, some are just a headache to read.

this is a nice topic. we should all contribute towards honning our skills.

@bishopandy, this story was not as focused as it could have been. You spent the first half talking about books that you read, then the next half talking about an injustice. Since the title of the story is 'Good […]

I liked the idea of combining traditional culture with advanced tech, @Fredrick-chiagozie-Nwonwu.

I especially like the way you introduced the technology; the story wasn't about the tech per se, but how it was […]

Awww...@jollyone, I am so sorry. My muse didn't let the flood spare anyone. It kept reminding me of families that had been wiped out by floods and sectarian crises in our country.

Thanks so much for honouring […]

Didn't know much about Celebral Palsy- except in movies. That kinda like affected the way the story comes off to me. The tone to me was used aptly but your intended message wasn't stricking. Maybe it would have […]

Well written, straightforward story, @literarymouthpiece. Truly, there can be many kinds of walls in a relationship.

I would have converted section III into a thought in the minds of one of the characters; it […]

Tragic. Very tragic for such a happy family you painted them to be.

I know students don't complement teachers but it's not a crime if I do. Excellent work Chemo!

@Myne....thank you again.

I agree....I should not have given that much info on Nathan on this piece. There are are so many things I cut out that could have stayed.

I hope I'm getting better....

@nicolebassey: Very true. Many people are really suffering in this country and for those with ailments that come with stigma, it is even more difficult for these people to find love and care. Really sad.
