Prasasti

My co-curriculum for this term is Literature Appreciation, and nope, it’s not in English, it’s in Malay, you know, Apresiasi Sastera. Okay, I admit I was a little bit sceptical with my ability to write in Malay, but now, it’s not that hard, I mean, writing poem is quite different than say, writing an SPM 1119 essay question, but really, I think I am doing pretty well, thank you.

So just want to share with you one of the poems that I’ve created. This one is PRASASTI. What do you think?

Aksara-aksara

digubah, maka

   jadilah untai-untai

  kata

Halus

Diukir mereka

suatu prasasti

suatu yang sudah

pasti

Apabila haus,

   kembali

   dipahat

   Ia norma,

   Ia ikutan

Mahu sajakah aku ikut?

Berdiri sama orang lain,

tiada apa yang diperlu

   Berdiri sendiri

   perlukan segalanya

        Kata-kata

terpateri atas batu

  kalau aku     lari

   adakah mereka

       akan ukir

        nisanku

         nanti?
