25.7.08 -- "Let's Be Poets!"
I am so NOT good at poetry. I don't know why but I can never write something good unless given a form of guidelines to follow; I've no inspiration or something. So when Mr. G had us all write our own poems in class today it had me kind of freaked. But it didn't turn out too bad. Some people had the deepest poems I've ever heard and some had the funniest - it was hilarious! I ended up collaborating mine together with Pik later on and once again later after classes as I was waiting for my ride home; not to mention that night after dinner as well till I was satisfied. Phew, believe it or not, my FIRST real poem! Heh.
Title: I Am From
I am from a world on the other side of a computer screen,
I am from pages of a book no one else will ever read,
I am from highways and traffic jams oh so commonly seen;
I am from secrets yet told trapped in the depths of my mind,
I am from my "ohana" (family), where no one gets left behind.
This was the first one I ended up with when I got back from college. The one after dinner's a little quirkier, I guess you could say.
I am from fantasyland where great winged dragons are my steed,
I am from pages of a book no one else will ever read,
I am highways and traffic jams so commonly seen,
I am from modern-day times in a world changing as I grow,
I am from my "ohana" (family), but hey, you already know.
Haha, not much I know, especially since the title and format was already given to us. Still, it was fun, letting class slip by without learning much of anything else. This is so much fun! ^_^
The rest is still unwritten...
