That's strange, can you tell us why you pick poetry or what exactly led you into poetry? G: I stumbled upon poetry at a point when I was looking for myself. More like I was on a discovery path and that happened in 2014 . H: Hmmm. Discovery path? Ok. Sound deep! Since you stumble on poetry, why don't you drop it then, what makes you keep going? G: I've always been a lover of art. Music, drawings and literature. I feel in with poetry at first before I realized I could use it as a form of expression . H: Ok. Good. What do you see poetry as In your own perspective according to your journey through out? I mean, with what poetry as given you, a

[ Bottle ] i am cold here with faded colours & the meaning of my covered skin means my flesh has inherited your father's sadness. Like father always say: anything could kill you & i. you never can complete the phrase of life. how strange my sister made love to a god & gave birth to god-head. sometimes, seeing myself running tells me i am more than what i think.   tell me how your mother feel seeing your father dying again & again like the sweat of your skin that taste like the loneliness, belief, salt, or maybe soft songs that makes the voice of a door to shout:Alihamdulilah. I have learnt bottles are tools that looks like guns; so when we hold them in replace of something we forget that death lives in bottles more like  suicide. #Princejoe #Poetryislife

BOOK PUBLISHING: WHAT TIME IS DUE FOR IT? BY OLA W. HALIM G: BOOK PUBLISHING — WHAT TIME IS DUE FOR IT? Getting your work READY for public consumption, as we all have related. I'll discuss this  topic under three main headings: 1. Drafting your book. 2. Editing your book. 3. Getting published. You know, everyone can write, but something, something specific, makes you an EVOLUTIONARY writer. One of them is PATIENCE and TENACITY. Because writing is a veeeeeery lonely, individualistic career, you need to motivate, encourage and inspire yourself most of the time. You don't get these things extrinsically... If you can't train yourself up to this level at this stage, you might end up not writing at all or producing a work that's not mature for publication. Which would be bad... Drafting your  book might be the most difficult stage. You spend time writing a book you find hard returning to, to edit. You can't get anyone to do it for you. So you assume, since you&

WHILE RUNNING MY BODY FALLS There is a butchered memory resting on every man. Like music we mould what is & what may not together to form a piece of ourselves, a quaver, a couplet breaking back into alphabets, so an alto of bitterness our body is in our lover's mouth becomes a medley, I mean it determines gravity of dreams, falling & rising & measuring depth of silences, of promises searching for history between a memory wearing a brown cloth of pebbles. Sometimes we know we are in the wrong place & still want to place our body right there, as if tucking a small paper in a hole too big like a wound is a way to inject healing on our shadows. My lover says I belong to prophecies of her shadow & a night falls from my eardrum making a sound of my emptiness with the ground. You say music is life, so is silence death? We get tethered to bitter halves of us & after having a fine knowledge of the darkness we just want to move to pick our reflec

-- Oblivion October 16, 2017: i thought flowers could grow in a place of complex sand. i thought sweet songs could make night beautiful. & i thought butterflies has something to tell than flying. i thought ripples on water is an ideology we don't understand. i thought fine sands also make a living out of water. i thought lights are meant to see beyond the darkness in our hearts. i thought girls has forgiven heart for every game a boy plays in her room. i thought promise is a depth in the heart of the seashore. i thought throwing myself too much to you could make you see the scars in my face. i thought weapons are meant for war until you showed me what it takes to have someone's name buried alive to show me that your body too is a weapon that sometimes kills someone's fate. for the hate of unsettled conflict we do have each time we both removed the face of understanding. but i now understand that memories too has a smell of oblivion, like you

WELCOME TO TODAY'S INTERVIEW SECTION( HOT SEAT). I'm Adeniran joseph(Prince joe) the HOST for today, & with me i have my GUEST, Tobi Abiodun.

I feel you. Great. Ok. That was too brief anyways. Sir Tobi, can you tell us why you love doing or being a performer. Because if you don't love it, you won't be doing it, & why are you doing it, is it for fame or money? G: I'm sorry the intro was short.. I am a man, scrap that, a guy of few words. Okay. Drop the Sir thing. For the fame, no. For the money, it wasn't part of the plan when I started but, right now, money is involved. H: Hmmm. Gr

POETRY INVOICE INTERVIEW SECTION : My name is Adeniran joseph ( prince Joe)  I will be hosting our today's Guest in a HOT SEAT, do feel relax as we take you to the realms of this beautiful section . H:  I'm honored to have you admist, sir, can we know you? G: I'm Mesioye Johnson, a young writer from Ogun state trying to find his feet . H: Brilliant. 'Finding his feet' in that statement, should we agree, you're still learning to become who you suppose to become, perhaps, you haven't archived anything of your dreams, or what do you mean by that? G: Well, I would say a man is never enough for himself, and at times we find it hard to contain ourselves no matter what. As a matter of fact, I'm learning to become who I'm suppose to become like you said with a shade of what I never thought of becoming coming out good at the long run. I must confess here too that the road isn't what the body alone can walk, it has to be with one's all. H: Wo

FOR BOYS LIKE ME WHO ARE WRITERS . Get rejected by publishers and magazines, feel the rejections and bounce back.Get abused but never relent on it.  Let them squeeze your manuscripts for once and throw it in a waste can, yes, for once; It would make you better, dear boys. Allow a publisher to kick you out and allow your heart to cry over it,  you will feel better at the end of it all.  This is what makes you a writer. Expect anything at any time from your readers because they are your second eyes. Just be free, boys and expect the sun on you. They will not give you a voice except the one you created yourself. They will push you to the wall in the name of critique it is left for you to stand tall and never fall asleep with their words. If you know you know and if you will understand, you will know.  Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged by their ancestral lies and likes.  Do not find yourself a mentor because they are modern slave masters.  They will always want you to reshapen your

THE FIRST THING ABOUT FIRE Is that, you get unknown to the already known of your body, & you begin leaking like soft noises dropping like burning flames in a snowfall. it's true, how you get addicted to the origin of your body that begins from your date of birth, they will always tell you to run before the fire start & never listen to the pastor reciting bible infront of mosque it's never bad to know the beginning of where you came from, but sometimes, having a concept of your origin gives you an ideology of your death, it doesn't mean anything to migrate to a place burning like hell that's how to know how God hate you & how god doesn't care to accept you in return. fire doesn't take you anywhere you wish, it's only when your ashes desires to carry you to a holy place of dead graduated students of silence. i swear, to begin this poem before was a boy begging to taste a drop of water in my mouth & i don't know what to

THE BUTTERFLIES DO DIE . You hold hands together like children from the same mother. Your eyes holding the strings of happiness you've always wanted. You love her. I mean, a female friend of yours in the same University. You have this mutual feelings for her. But you never told her for once. In the same course on likely the same seat. You do feel wet anytime you sit beside her. Your imagination carve you into pieces of lost thoughts. I swear, you will die the day you confront your feelings for her, your mind said. Leaving all stain with teardrop. I think she will brutalize me, I think she will melt me, my mind keeps hunting with callous questions, I was intrapersonally insane. One night, you both sat underneath a Green perfumed tree. Full of jungle fruits with smelly flowers. It was deep late, On campus. You love talking your life outside. She hate that. She loves laughing much. So, anything you say that sound foolish, she do laugh it out. She never wanted to snub you. Never.

OF BLOOD AND WATERS. It sucks here. Each door smells of decayed skulls and rusted metals. The roof of the Building we are in is a brown sort with stripes of whitish cottons. My name is Alex Ferguson, the only son of my father in a city of fallen waters. Here; I have three friends with me: Clinton, Mary, and Frez. My friends love me and I do too. We are always three for anything we do. If we are half, the mission can never be commenced. We must be three. This shows the mutual feelings between us. We are all from wealthy families. folded million of smiles that greets you every time you rise from bed to the feet of the sun. I'm always delighted and grateful for the condition I am. But never would I make a good thing out of it. I have spent almost 21 times in prison. From one case to another. Today Rape, tomorrow might be Murder. Everything keep falling off my existence. Still, I keep to myself. I was in my room sleeping when my friends invited me on a journey I never wanted to go. M
