Selfless is my Love Selfless is my love for you Your beauty radiates, brighter than the shining star Brighter than the Cherubim and Seraphim You glow like the rising sun Unconditional is your love for me Everlasting love you have for me Everything I am, you made me to be When u look, I see the tickle in your eye Your stare, leaves me speechless I have joy unspeakable Peace as the calm of the sea Deep in thoughts, I think of you Forever I want to please you ...and till the day we see face to face I will always be in awe of you. |

The floor is open for criticism. Pick on any poem & judge it. "Constructive Criticism" is the right way to do it  maclatunji, keep it up! |
| Re: Nairaland's "The Poet" Competition by Cuddlemii: 2:35pm On Aug 08, 2012 |
Contestants please pick your dates wisely! You can also pick from the author's whose poetry has no subject. Contestants can own, abduct or even smooch any writer at this point. The power is in your court. Kandii, who are you having for supper today? Denzel? |

Na wa o . . . Another competition? |
| Re: Nairaland's "The Poet" Competition by maclatunji: 2:39pm On Aug 08, 2012 |
Tgirl4real: Your poems are okay, just try and make them a little bit more concise. Keep your reader guessing such that 20 people will read your poem and have 20 different interpretations from the same work. Once you turn to narration your poem will lose the "Wow" factor. Of course, there are times when the opposite would apply. You want to tell the world/someone something and have chosen poetry as the medium. |

Cuddlemii: Contestants please pick your dates wisely! Lool, I really don't get this fixation on me and denzel. I haven't decided yet.  |

maclatunji: Yea, that is what I do most time. Can you expatiate more on what u mean by turning to narration? I'm working on a story and someone said I should do more of showing than telling. Can you explain please? Here is the link: https://www.nairaland.com/956935/road-redemption |

kandiikane: Alright I am waiting to see ur selection!  |
| Re: Nairaland's "The Poet" Competition by maclatunji: 2:56pm On Aug 08, 2012 |
Tgirl4real: I have seen many poems here that quite frankly could be much shorter if the poet just took some extra time to choose the appropriate words and streamline his/her thoughts. I am a little bit busy at the moment and will look at your story later within the context of "showing instead of telling." It can be applied to real life now. You can say you love someone and not show it and you can show you love someone without saying it and they would understand perfectly what your feelings are. |
