I HEARD THEY TRIED TO FIND A CURE By: king45prime

I heard they tried to find a cure,

The doctor i mean,

Nay, i actually meant the Journalist; The investigative ones,

Well which ever one of them

Do writers burn out?

Or the books get written off the mind shelves?

Where do book ideas come from sef??

Many thoughts,

Many thought the writers block is the end of a writer

So they researched a cure for the writers block

It was going to be the biggest finding ever,

Time was spent

Money and wealth

An agreement it is,

It is time to submit the formulae to the pill,

The pill that pulls the plug,

The plug called writers block

He submitted his work

And on it Nothing was written.

*here is a poem where nothing rhyme about nothing*

Akere, a Consultant Gastroenterologist, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Ibadan that food handlers should always use blender for ewedu and every other ingredient used in cooking it. “They should not use broom to mash the vegetable,” he said. Akere said this is because ewedu soup that is mashed with broomsticks could still retain splinters of the broom, however minute. He said that when eaten, the splinters from the broomsticks could get trapped inside the oesophagus or the intestine. Akere ...

Painful letters By: Marvee

Every time I feel this way This terrifying kind of pain These twitchy palms and muffled sobs These weakened sights and mindless slob I would think of something To put me at ease, anything At times, to leave my world And be someone else, not a dud Often times I would write on plain sheet Write till my limbs felt weak Write till the page is covered in ink Write till the painful times shift. ©-Marvee
