timpaker:Lol, me too. And yes, the Rap battle section is a fun place to be. But it's filled terrorists, villains and gladiators. Hahahahahaha!! Don't be scared though, Laykorn survived. I'm sure you will. I'd love it if you come for a visit though, it'd be cool. ![]() |

The steel jacketed messenger of death!. Hell:! Professionally proxied in a tube A shell comfortably seated in a cube Doors never shut yet you need to knock ...With a finger and not necessarily your fist before it let's go The steel jacketed messenger of death. Oh! What a messenger! So humble and obidient. Without a knock, it remains there Never delivering the message to its master But to the aim? "The speed of light couldn't be faster" Still the trusted messenger to still a breath. You let,it jets,to the target it gets and in its nest its sure to melt. It never mistakingly slips while on the shelf But even at sleep, its never mistakingly deaf To instill bucketed fear in every gender on earth. Its a toy to a kid, employed by the skilled,straight to the hit yet indifferent o the killed. With freight in its sound, to hell it is bound and the effect is now! The steel jacketed messenger of death. Is ..... A BULLET! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Jigsawkillah that's an automatic disqualification for them IMO. I wonder why they didn't even do their home work before embarking on writing the poem. Llaykorn, I think the time accorded this competition is way too long. The contestants are given way too much time to take in writing the poems. I believe a poet must let his imagination guide him/her thus making him/her write at the go. Not take forever to write. |
Re: The Poets' Café : Chat Room! by llaykorn: 8:13am On Nov 23, 2015 |
joseph1832: Good morning, Joseph. No, contestants that submit poems that aren't rengas won't be disqualified. The 'Renga Rules Compliance' criterion which carries 50 out of the 100 obtainable marks is there to cater for that. They might just score a zero in that. And, a week was awarded in the first round to cater for those whom it will take some time to get in touch with their partners. I agree, though, that the time awarded in the second round where contacts have been established between all pairs shouldn't have been that much, and that, by God's grace will be corrected by next year's collaboration contest. |
Re: The Poets' Café : Chat Room! by joseph1832(m): 8:19am On Nov 23, 2015 |
llaykorn:Then why is the contest call the 'Renga Fiesta' if contestants aren't writing Renga's? or obeying Renga rules or even contest rules? What those guys wrote is no way near anything call Renga, but who am I to criticize eh. Lol. |
Re: The Poets' Café : Chat Room! by llaykorn: 8:28am On Nov 23, 2015 |
joseph1832: Lol.. But that's why the renga rules compliance criterion carries a mark of 50 points. Let me ask you a question, sir. If one of the contestants wrote their renga with a 5-7-5 8-8 which should be 5-7-5 7-7, what do we do? Do we disqualify them? It's almost impossible to have about half or more of the contestants come with a slight slip that would practically make their piece not to be called a renga, sir. Do we disqualify them all? Do we disqualify everyone who added an extra syllable or removed one from his haiku? Bros...you harsh small eh ![]() Any two poets that come to the table with a completely correct renga in syllable count and structure will be getting their complete 50 in that criterion, sir, and all slips bring deductions. |

This Joseph1832 is something else LOL I meant to warn them without drawing attention |

llaykorn:Okay oh bros. No vex abeg eh. You and jigs distracted my flow with your mention, I was writing a rondeau. Now the inspiration is gone. *frowning JigsawKillah:Oh sorry I didn't know your intention as I can not read minds via the internet. LOL. No harm intended bro. I observed it but decided to hold my peace, but since you also observed it, I just thought... |
