On writing poems




Since I was not able to write last month, I am writing another article to express my thoughts. Last week, I was cleaning my room. I stumbled into one aspect of my personality that I seem to have forgotten. I used to write poems! (I was influenced by a dear friend). Believe it or not! When and how? It was back in 2000 when I first wrote poems. Somehow, I lost interest on it after two years. I do not know why. It is not easy to write poems. You have to be in the mood (bad or good! but better: in the good mood!) and find the right inspiration to write one. I found copies of some poems I made. I was surprised because I thought I no longer have copies of them. Well, I am happy to unearth this aspect of my personality then. Maybe, somehow this will lead me having a renewed interest in poetry. I will just to wait and see! Anyway, I include in this article three short verse poems I made. One of it created when I’m in a really bad mood! Do not judge me so bad because of these! Ha! Ha! Ha!
“Struggles of Life” (4-3-2001)
Each of us has struggles of our own
For whatever purpose it may serve
Nobody knows
Only God really do
But it’s not right
To put the blame on Him
Instead, stand up
Face the day with courage
Live up with faith
And make the most
Out of your life

“Pledge” 4-3-2002
Love isn’t just a word
Nor a mere theatre act
It is a pledge
Not of forever
But of Eternity
Found in our hearts
Filling the world with magic
And making it
Such a wonderful place

“Everything Sucks” 8-31-2001
What a day it has been
Nothing to be seen
The river used to flow
With the wind blowing so slow
But look what you’ve done
Its life has gone
Would you even care?
You’ve never been fair
Go away fucks
For everything sucks!
