Here it goes... The juicy news He came out of the blues Landed amongst the jews Recruited his crews and spread the good news Then the jews took the juicy news sent them to the west for reviews the west tempered with the juicy news and diffuse different views into the zoos (Africa) Now people in the zoos are confuse on which is the best adulterated news! cc: Laykorn...Texanomaly 1 Like 2 Shares |

Herald. I'll only comment on your layout and punctuation. Remember that every line of a poem starts with a block letter. Remember to punctuate your poem too, just like you'd punctuate your prose work. Although I don't really get the message in your poem, maybe its because I don't read the bible, but your rhymes are awesome especially in the first stanza. Keep it up! Ayamlaykorn 1 Like |

@Laykorn thanks much. I'll see to that next time. I think every Christian can relate to the poem. If you know the story of Jesus...the Christian Messiah. who came with the 'good news'. he didn't do this alone,he chose his 12 disciples (recruited his crews)to help him spread this good news. After he left,this good news spread to Britain, America etc (the west) Who after accepting the good news disagreed within themselves and divided into two denominations-the Catholic and Protestant (tempered with the good news) These two sects brought their different versions of doctrines (views )into Africa (the zoos ) Now people in Africa are confused on which of them is the best doctrine (adulterated news). I was talking about the development of Christianity. 1 Like 1 Share |

herald9:Heheh. Art students aren't better writers than science students. I am a science student. OMA4U is a student engineer. Ayamlaykorn |
Re: •••CURTAIN CALL•••• by herald9: 9:20am On Dec 18, 2014 |
laykorn: wow. how were you able to combine both. As science students we were only taught the basics...before we went our different ways...It just my love for literature that brought me this far. |

Creepy I was alone in a moonless night, Walking down a desolate road, The road I always take, To avoid the old gateman's suspicious stare. To where I was going, I Did know. Seems my wayward mind connived with my feet, To drag my body, On a journey of doom. Yes,my love for my friends took me this way, They'd have been here,probably going to Steal some mangos, In the cemetery. If they were not locked up, In the school's toilet, For stealing, The headmistress' locket. What was my mission? "To rescue my friends",I grinned excitedly, As I climbed the tree, And scaled over the fence. I landed on it,soft,slippery. It gave a jerk and I came tumbling down. I stared into the darkness, it stared back, My fears began to rise. My body filled with dreadful chill, As it glides motionlessly towards it's prey, I tried to scream, my breathe failed me, As it gets closer,it keeps getting closer. Transfixed. A gentle drip of sweat trickles down my face, As I closed my eyes, Waiting for the kiss of death. I felt it in seconds; Alas it was soft. How it be so? I had no idea. And I felt it again, Much more firmer, I opened my eyes, Not sure of what I'll see. Still two pairs of eyes staring at me, Yet these eyes were different, Soft,tender and filled with care. What was it? It was my mum! It was a dream!!! cc: Laykorn Lekki10 Ghostlady Dre11 Veey 1 Like 1 Share |
