    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…[Read more]

    It rained that day. Large drops of water merged with the tears that ran down her face, and Toye found that he couldn’t do it.

    Could have made the story better, by seperating the dialogue from the main body of the work. It doesn’t add to your word count but makes your story have finesse

    funpen commented on the post, Writing Prompt April 8 – Shattered 1 month, 1 week ago

    Well, It incorporated the word shattered in a nice way. I guess its a tragedy and most people have enough in real life to want to read more in stories. Nice one.

    loved the tiny way you injected our nigerian superstition (wondering about the kind of soap she used to bathe) without making a big deal out of it.

    What trips me the most is that he published the book when he was twenty eight. He must have spent years thinking about it and penning the words down. He was thinking far ahead of his contemporaries, and he had […]

    @mee

    except i’m mistaken, the strangled girl was his sister and not the Blessing he was expecting.

    LOL,

    Loved your article,
    I agrre with all the shooting,
    and I’m laughing at the fact that though we know it’s symbolic, we wish it could be true. I do not agree with murder anyway.

    Great article.
