IT'S DECEMBER!

Hey Peeps!

Been ages. It's the 1st of December, 2011! Whoa how time flies! It's a great time to be alive. A lot has happened since January 30th 2011, the last time I put a post here.

So so sorry. I have had my hands in many pie as I sought to advance my professional goals. Poetry is my teenage crush as well as one of my great love. (professionally or 'hobbistically' {Hey I know that is not a word, but I do have poetic license here} speaking of course). 

Law also is another great love and these days my first love. But poetry would forever catch my fancy.

So here I am again. Reincarnated as the Griot, to tell our epoch's story in the immortal ink of many lines!

The blog is back and better. Lot's of innovation and changes. We are gonna roll into the new year on a high. We are making the blog more visible. We gat a lot of exciting stuffs coming! Please stay tuned.

Send in your poetry Peeps! Any 'decent' poem no matter what you are on about as long as it is not calculated to spread hate and cause harm is welcome! Send as many as you want to and as frequently as you want to. I will publish it all here as I receive them.

We are gonna have a blog poem awards at the end of 2012. Details would hit you in the course of the year. It's gonna be way massive.

Feel free to air your thoughts on what you think the persona in each poem you see here is talking about. Feel free to criticize poetic styles constructively.

The Griot has a blog motto now. Our blog motto is 'Effecting Change Through Poetry!'. We will celebrate life here through the poetic medium. We would raise the debate on key issue through poetry. We would effect change through poetry.

Get writing guys!

The Griot has many poems waiting to be unleashed on all of you. Hustle your creative sides and join the bandwagon! Everyone is a poet! Existence presupposes poetry. If you live and experience then you sure can do it! We will endeavor to x-ray some rules once in a while to aid beginners.

The gong is sounding loud and clear hearken to its call.

It's a new dawn!

Don't be held down!

Laugh like a clown!

For success is your pawn!
