    Germinate, O my rose.

    Bathe in dew of the watering trough

    That stills a sunrises thirst.

    Throne upon the mound of earth

    At the center of my garden.

    Clothe the dancing winds in perfume.

    Your […]

    @myne You have done a great thing for nigerian literature. More ink to your quil ( or your computer keypad as the case may be). Any ideas on marketing and destroying piracy?

    yahayamadu commented on the post, Beautiful Nothing 5 months, 1 week ago

    Your work, despite being rather formless and void, and loose in construction, is still a well written brief treatise on the writers horror of nothingness and the word. Nothing is indeed more terrible than writers […]

    yahayamadu commented on the post, Father, I am still your dear son 5 months, 1 week ago

    @Chemokopi it seems some people like to criticize without being criticized in return. I know why I made that comment. The creature utters trash that no one else does! I was pissed off. And after all is said and […]

    yahayamadu commented on the post, A Touch of Spite (1) 9 months ago

    @Kaycee This is not fiction. This is memoir writing. A chronicle of a horny man’s reflections about relationships. You are also fond of cliches and dead expressions like; ‘the player in me’. No creative narrative […]

    yahayamadu commented on the post, Writing Africa Back into Reckoning 9 months ago

    Superb. The controversy of indie versus traditional publishing rages on. New practioners of the craft have a shot due to information technology and choice of possible publisher. Nigeria isnt as bleak as it was for […]

    yahayamadu commented on the post, In The Beginning – Part 1/3 9 months ago

    @Felicity A good story but sadly it is poorly told. Unbelivable details of a swift marriage. Suspense is important in fiction, even if only for a few paragraphs. You don’t tell the readers everything at the […]

    @vincent Ingenious tale. But be on the lookout for typos. Not ‘stare clear’ but ‘steer clear’ and others like it. Cool tale..

    @Ohmston The mother of invention is solitude. Good work. But please avoid the Soyinka-like big words. Simplicity of diction is praiseworthy.

    @magic A matter of opinion. If you read it with a phone, know the mobile view screws up the arrangement of the lines. I wrote ‘What rest is the sacred cows’ but NS Admin changed it to ‘What rest is, from the […]

    @afroxyz Good. But seek to be less prosaic next time. Use more poetic diction unless if you’re a poetic prose stylist. Teach the reality…

    @ ibagere Some words and statements reflect the literacy level of the characters. E.g ‘Everybody had closed his shop’. Typos duly noted. @kaycee I beg to disagree. No writer’s above criticism. But no critic can […]

    @odejayi Thanks. But it is for the reader to understand or misinterpret a mystery story. and @kaycee At the end, Every mystery story must be solved. Believe me the story is a mystery. Did anyone guess who the […]

    @ohmston Nigerian readers are spoilt. The tale is a mystery of mysteries. They dont like to think and do research. But Yeshua didnt die, they started a rumour. So we have a killer mystery: In the Africans image, […]

    The wheels etch their tracks in the softness of the earth.
    In the coldness of dawn
    The four wheel drive, humming, suspending the plow
    Is steered by hydraulic cylinders over dew kissed grass
    In swimming […]

    The Lilies caressed by dew laden breezes

    Perfumed by the wind.

    The tilled Earth moist with cloudy tears

    Robed

    In the eternal Cloak of silence.

    These are the memoirs of the Eye of the Sun

    @nicolebassey Nooo. FEMINISM. The family is a dying institution in “civilised” America. Don’t follow their footsteps. Know your rights. Think for yourself. But “rule over all creation?”. God they are telling you […]
