Eight Line Poem

Pest in the house

Fire-breathing

Dirty mud brown

Stagnant as dead body

Stink that mobbed of flies

Rock that makes my heart beats louder

Leafy as grass

To lose them is my greatest fear.

Haiku

    1. Twinkling stars at night,

The shape of the moon that smile,

It makes me sleepy.

      2. Take me to the place

Simple place yet make me beam

In the paradise.

     3. The blow of the wind

Ray of sun touching my face

A beautiful day.

      4. Red flowers and fruits,

Green grasses, trees and mosses,

Yellow light gives life.

“All Thanks to him”

I found my love,

When my life was as dark as tenebrous black,

Surrounded by fake and judgmental people.

He helped me to become brave,

Pale white appearance should change,

Act as courageous woman that cannot be deterred.

All thanks to him,

He makes my life perky yellow,

I am now longing for his arms to hug me so tight.

Whenever he is right now, I am still glad,

Because I met him in my overcast gray life,

I hope he is happy in the abode of our Almighty God.

“I am” Poem (Mandatory)

I am a quiet and serious person,

I wonder why people were laughing when the reality is they have problems,

I hear the air whispering me words that I hadn’t heard before,

I see people talking happily,

I want to know why people continuously doing such things,

I am a quiet and serious person,

I pretend that I hadn’t heard what other people are saying about me,

I feel like I am alone in this world,

I touch my heart to feel its numbness,

I worry that it would be forever like this,

I cry sometimes thinking that no one cares for me,

I am a quiet and serious person,

I understand when people go away from me,

I say nothing would happen if they stay with me,

I dream that someday I could find my real happiness,

I try to be happy but it isn’t effective,

I hope that I could meet someone that would make me smile, a real smile,

I am a quiet and serious person.

Personal Poem (Introduction Poem – Mandatory)

“Problems”

Life wouldn’t be complete without problems,

Problems that I think will ruin my life,

But the reality is

This is what made me a better person.

I can describe myself as a quite person,

You wouldn’t know if I have problems,

But inside of me is a dragon,

Breathing fire figuratively.

If I have problems, I want to relax myself,

I am searching for something to look at,

I love seeing places with different beautiful flowers,

And I hate seeing when people destroy it.

Problems are really everywhere,

Wherever I look, there are always there,

If only my hands could speak,

It would say that I should have time to rest.

Night is my favorite time of the day,

I can rest after what I done in a day,

This is the time when the surrounding is at peace,

I can sleep soundly and forget my problems temporarily.

I remember my childhood days,

The days I really enjoy,

I didn’t think of any problems,

Having my playmates with me was fine.

That was also the time

When my mom told to me a saying,

I should live my life to the fullest,

We only live once, I should enjoy every single day.

I wake up from the reality,

Problems shouldn’t be taken seriously,

I should also think of what and who surrounds me,

Sometimes we should face it, but most of the times we need to forget it.

Marvella Valerie is my name,

Means a brave miracle,

Brave to face various difficulties in life,

So I shouldn’t be defeated by anything.

All of the problems have its answers,

Prayer is one of the ways to solve it,

God will hear all the grudges in you,

He will cure it.

I can now say that I have a cup of happiness inside of me,

Appreciating the essence of the people surrounds me,

Contented of what I have,

And God is the center of each relationship I have.

Syringe (Reflection)

    We all have fears, anyone could have. We cannot hide it within ourselves. It is natural to have this feeling because if we do not feel it, I think we are not normal. Fear makes a man think of the possible outcome of what he fears. Instead of doing it, we put in our mind that it would harm us. Sometimes if we are encountering such situations that we are scared to do something, we are escaping from it. Escaping is not the solution to remove the fear but facing is. We should have confidence and trust in ourselves that we can do it. We should also be optimistic that we can overcome the fear. Facing our fears is really hard at first, but if we surpassed it, we can say that we survived the challenge and that fear made us stronger than before.

Spoken Poetry

Bes (Best Friend)

Bes, can you still remember?

The days when were still together?

Full of laughter and craziness,

We didn’t endure even our throat hurts,

To see you smile is my relief.

Unexpectedly, of all the people, how could you?

I treated you more than a sister!

I trusted you

That how I wish I never did

Because it hurts to think that the person whom I trusted will be the reason why I won’t trust again.

Bes, I thought you hate snakes?

The type of person that will get away the boyfriend from a friend?

I suspected anyone; I search for whoever is that girl,

I thought the most hurtful thing is losing my boyfriend,

To know that you are the one who get him away from me brings a lot of pain.

Bes, thank you.

Thank you for the happy memories,

If fooling me can bring you happiness,

I won’t be selfish

Because it is better if I cry than to see you frown.
