Frank, I'm still around though I'm busy at school a lot. The course I am doing is highly interesting but also demanding. Most of the time, I'm looking forward to when I will have handed in my dissertation. And in the remaining time, I worry what I will do once the course will have finished! |

Hi Franc, I'm actually not so interested in Chomsky and co. but more in Emenanjo, Bamgbose, Ohiri-Aniche, Egbokhare, Adewole, Himmelmann, Mosel, Ladefoged, Williamson, Austin, Gibbon, Ostler, Levy --- and Chrystel too. How's your MA? Stressful? |
Re: Poetry Contest by Genial(m): 4:04pm On Feb 25, 2007 |
I think of you; Hey, Franc, Somegirl!! |
Re: Poetry Contest by magneto(m): 11:02am On Feb 27, 2007 |
@everyone been a while i came to these parts, and i see y'all aint disappointing. much respect to franc, genial and all the beautiful ladies up in here. heres a new poem i wrote for y'all. enjoy!! SHE she makes my heart feel as light as a butterfly, and as soft as butter. i can bask all day in the soothing waves of her magnetic affections. her smile is like the feel of warm sun rays on my bare skin. warming me on the outside, and calming me on the inside. i hear the laughter in my voice when i talk nowadays the fragrance of her perfume still lingers in my nostrils she fills my chest with pride whenever she trickle down my thoughts. i never knew how good it felt, to be loved by someone so special. now i'm feeling like i've got the world in the palm of my hands. all because she mentioned those words, "I Love You". |

Creature It’s a man’s best friend to some. It’s part of a family. It’s a companion It’s trouble to some. It’s just a friend. It’s like a child to some. It’s like their enemies. It’s people food to some. It’s their protection. It leads the blinds to some. It’s been used by cops. It used during therapy to some. But to everyone it’s a faithful servant. It’s called a dog to some. |

franc1982: You are too kind, Franc. It's nice to see that you like my efforts. |
Re: Poetry Contest by somegirl(f): 11:50am On Mar 03, 2007 |
Mhm, I changed unis and subjects. Hence, the difference I am noticing between BA and MA might have to do with any of those two. At BA level it was hard to get a 60-69 and almost impossible to get something above 69. Now, almost everybody can get the latter. Our first assignment even had an AVERAGE mark of 72! However, work load has much increased. At my old university, you wrote an essay for the end of term and/or an exam in the third term. Here, you constantly have to hand in assignments during the term, sometimes up to three in a week (while in other weeks you got none)! But it seems the BAs here also have to write graded assignments. |

Romeo's Journal While all secret loves be made public Let all who have found love of my tribe, And he who has never lov'd, declare how toxic But who can ever tame love's growing ferns, Or hold a trend of thought in her arms? Their horses raced by as we made love. We are wild, my pursuers and I I-- of passion, they-- my demise strove And I, one step ahead; They, two behind; Montages and Copulates alike blind. Peace sleeps where Jules lay. No chase tonite, no need to run. How long till I lose her, how long till I pay? Copyright © macalurs 2007 |

My Cold Hands Her Stay That forever we together be, I wish. My mind it plagues uncertainty For human doth I mistake make Approximately occasional, I may Her subtle heart of beauty break It seems like my cold hands never wer' her stay. The worst lover, and best sinner Of sorts I am. But my love and forgiver, She remains soothing ever bland Like she waits my return to my old way That she may smile and gently tap my hand If her love wanes, could my cold hands be her stay? That forever we together be, I wish. But to the restless, his uncertainty. |

Death's Encounters (vol 1: The E.R) Two minutes to breathe, three to die "Just let me go" he heaved, "The pain!, oh the pain" he cried. And why be it ye long to die? "I rot in pain, I know not why But my last breath I ask of thee." I count not time in hours but seconds Ye shall come with me in three, --The little thing by his bed stoped beeping-- Behold thineself oh evil one, Wipe thine eyes, evil know'th not sympathy I done no evil deeds than them you done, I am my Makers purpose, for thy sake And how doth ye, my con compare To thine malignant wallow in self pity? I am that I am, for I choose to be; What other power hath thee but to life take? I am my Maker's purpose, who art thou? A reason for life, my existence create But thine breath alone of havoc doth reek And thine eyes are to thine Maker, foul I expanded my walls and broadened mine gates As Hell doth with fresh souls seethe But for thee, my days liken christmas Bid thine Maker greetings from hell And thanks for His business.
