Poetry

Like a rainbow at the night
(By: Citra Indah Syaputri)

Your hurt never you show
Your eyes are glazed symbol weight signifies life
Your Family is the first prioritas
Dad ,, I wish can wiped the sweat of your labor
And talking about your daily life

Dad you like a rainbow at night
Coloring my life but invisible colors
Your Simplicity symbol of your wise love
Your Angry symbol your discipline
Your smile symbol of love
Thank you so much for your sacrifice
father ,, ,, I love you

Translation

Seperti pelangi dimalam hari
(Oleh: Citra indah Syaputri)

Keluh kesahmu tak pernah kau perlihatkan
Matamu yang sayu menandakan berat tangung jawabmu
Keluargamu adalah prioritas yang pertama bagimu
Ayah,, sangat ingin aku mengusap peluhmu
Berbincang tentang keseharianmu

Ayah dirimu bagaikan pelangi dimalam hari
Mewarnai hidupku namun tak terlihat berwarna warni
Kesederhanaanmu lambang kebijaksanaan cintamu
Marahmu lambang kedisiplinanmu
Senyumu lambang kasih sayang mu
Terimakasih banyak untuk pengorbanan mu
I love you ayah,,

POETRY WITH TRANSLATION


Gaping hole in my chest
(By: Citra indah syaputri )

When i apologize with youre favorite song
I know that is can not change overall
Sometimes i try to locked my feeling
Undercover, and pretend myself
Hideaway in daylight and try to always smiling
Wait thousand leaves fall and growth
Walk away with the real my feeling
But i still same with my hole

A gaping hole in my chest
Youre my pain, and youre my cure
Under a trillion stars
I remember when you said
"Could i counting that stars?
And keep they are always bright"
I never knew that it could mean so much
Know you it's something unimportant before
But , i never meet again someone like you
I miss youre foolishness
I miss youre funniesness, and
I miss all of you that unimportant for other people
But could mean so much for me



Puisi

Lubang yang menganga di dalam dadaku
(Oleh : Citra indah syaputri )

Ketika aku minta maaf dengan lagu kesukaanmu
Aku tau itu tidak akan merubah keseluruhanya
Terkadang aku mencoba menutupi perasaanku
Menyamar, dan berpura-pura pada dirisendiri
Bersembunyi disiang hari dan mencoba untuk selalu tersenyum
Menunggu ribuan dedaunan yang gugur dan tumbuh
Berjalan menjauh dengan perasanku yg sebenarnya
Tapi, saya masih dengan lubang saya

Sebuah lubang yg menganga didalam dadaku
Kamu adalah rasa sakitku, dan kamulah obatku
Dibawah triliyun bintang-bintang
Saya mengingat apa yang kau katakan
"Dapatkah aku menghitung bintang-bintang itu
Dan menjaga mereka agar tetap selalu bersinar"
Aku tidak pernah mengerti itu sangat begitu berarti
Mengenalmu adalah salah satu hal yg tidak penting, sebelumnya
Tapi, aku tidak pernah bertemu lagi orang yang sepertimu
Aku rindu kebodohanmu
Aku rindu kelucuanmu
Dan, aku rindu semua yg ada padamu yg tidak penting untuk orang lain
Namun, sangat berarti untuk ku

ANALYSIS POETRY II

As I Grew Older

It was a long time ago.

I have almost forgotten my dream.

But it was there then,

In front of me,

Bright like a sun—

My dream.

And then the wall rose,

Rose slowly,

Slowly,

Between me and my dream.

Rose until it touched the sky—

The wall.

Shadow.

I am black.

I lie down in the shadow.

No longer the light of my dream before me,

Above me.

Only the thick wall.

Only the shadow.

My hands!

My dark hands!

Break through the wall!

Find my dream!

Help me to shatter this darkness,

To smash this night,

To break this shadow

Into a thousand lights of sun,

Into a thousand whirling dreams

Of sun!

By: Langston Hughes

About Langston Hughes

Langston Hughes (1902-1967) was a famous African-American poet, social activist, novelist and playwright and was recognized as an important literary figure who lived during the time of worldwide racial oppression and discrimination against the blacks. He was born on 1st of February, 1902 in Joplin, Missouri. Langston was involved in the Civil Rights Movement and also wrote protest poetry. He believed that poetry and art can bring out about changes and equality in a society. He was also a part of the Harlem Renaissance as one of the first poets to promote African-American culture, such as the jazz music, known for its free flow and expression. Langston Hughes was very much concerned about creating the African-American poetry as an independent genre in the world of literature

The tone/mood of the poem, ‘As I Grew Older’, keeps changing as the poem progresses. In lines 1-6, the tone in the speaker’s voice is optimistic, naïve and innocent. In the next lines 7-16, the tone turns into a depressing, angry one. Lines 17-23, show a sign of pessimism and anger in the speaker’s voice. Finally in the lines 24-33, there is hope and the whole stanza expresses that he can still achieve his dream.

The poem’s changing tone signifies the speaker’s changing perspective on life as he moves from childhood to adulthood. Lines 1-6 show the speaker’s viewpoint when he was a child. Lines 7-16 reflect the change in the speaker’s viewpoint. Lines 24-33 show the present perspective of the speaker, that the time when the poem was composed.

METAPHOR:

The wall has been used as a metaphor. The wall is presented as an obstacle to the poet’s dream. The obstacle is racism and discrimination against the blacks. The poet feels defeated but at the same time he is not going to give up his dream. His ‘dark hands’ will help him to shatter the metaphoric wall which has been created by the whites and will destroy hatred and racism.

PERSONIFICATION:

Hughes writes the wall "Rose until it touched the sky." By personifying the wall, Hughes helps the reader see it as an active, vibrant threat to the speaker's well-being. As the wall takes on life, the speaker further grasps the serious nature of the oppression with which the speaker grapples.

IRONY:

Don’t have irony in that poet

SUMMARY

Langston Hughes ‘As I Grew Older’ begins about a dream that the poet had ‘long time ago.’ The poet says his dream, bright as the sun, was right in front of him until a wall rose between him and his dream. The poet is an old man now and he is thinking about his dream which he dreamt long time ago. He thinks he has almost forgotten his dream. He remembers that his dream was not fulfilled as a strong barrier was created by his fellow white people who will not let his dream come true. The wall seems to grow forever and ever and it has become it has become so taller that it ‘rose until it touched the sky.’ The dream which was as bright as the sun has now turned dark. The wall has become a long dark shadow and has been blocking his dream. The dream being replaced by a shadow, the poet has become black.

The poet lies down beside the shadow which means he feels defeated and helpless. He finds that his dream is no longer above him and so he feels vanquished. Instead of his dreams, he finds the ‘thick wall’ and the ‘shadow’ above him. A plausible interpretation can be that the dream of freedom and independence is no longer real for the blacks and it has been overshadowed by the wall created by the fellow white people.

WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THE WHOLE POEM FOR YOU?

The impact of the poem for us, we must belive with our dreams make a change to make our dream come true don’t make differently as a obstacle to grow up like langston hughes said “we should believe in ourselves and stand up against the unjust society and rise above any sort of discrimination”

My first Sonnet

A Perfect Morning
(By: Citra Indah Syaputri )

I feel the wind blew so soft on my face
A perfect morning adding with the shower
Remember you make my heart beat so cheer
The weather make my brain frozen like ice

I open the window and hear a voice
Familiar voice and make me wonder
The voice to show dawn time and let's prayer
Adding a perfect morning fulfill space

Enjoy the weather, the sun and fresh air
A cup of coffe make inspiration
To start a new day and activity
A perfect morning to avoid despair
Compare real and fake as seperation
Doing the best humanway as duty

Example of sonnet

Definition of Sonnet

The word sonnet is derived from the Italian word “sonetto”. It means a small or little song or lyric. In poetry, a sonnet has 14 fourteen lines and is written in iambic pentameter. Each line has 10 syllables. It has a specific rhyme scheme and a “volta” or a specific turn.

Generally, sonnets are divided into different groups based on the rhyme scheme they follow. The rhymes of a sonnet are arranged according to a certain rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme in English is usually abab-cdcd-efef-gg and in Italian abba-abba-cde-cde.

Types of Sonnet

The sonnets can be categorized into six major types:

Italian Sonnet
Shakespearean Sonnet
Spenserian Sonnet

○ Examples of Sonnets in literature

Let us take a look at the examples of sonnets in Literature based on its different categories:

1☆ Italian or Petrarchan sonnet
was introduced by an Italian poet Francesco Petrarch of 14th century.

Being one day at my window all alone,
So manie strange things happened me to see,
As much as it grieveth me to thinke thereon.
At my right hand a hynde appear’d to mee,
So faire as mote the greatest god delite;
Two eager dogs did her pursue in chace.
Of which the one was blacke, the other white:
With deadly force so in their cruell race
They pincht the haunches of that gentle beast,
That at the last, and in short time, I spide,
Under a rocke, where she alas, opprest,
Fell to the ground, and there untimely dide.
Cruell death vanquishing so noble beautie
Oft makes me wayle so hard a desire.

(Visions by Francesco Petrarch)

The rhyme scheme of Petrarchan sonnet has first eight lines called octet that rhymes as abba -abba –cdc-dcd. The remaining six lines called sestet might have a range of rhyme schemes.

2☆ A Shakespearean sonnet

is generally written in an iambic pentameter, there are 10 syllables in each line. The rhythm of the lines must be as below:

From fairest creatures we desire increase,
That thereby beauty’s rose might never die.
But as the riper should by time decease,
His tender heir might bear his memory:
But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes,
Feed’st thy light’s flame with self-substantial fuel,
Making a famine where abundance lies,
Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.
Thou that art now the world’s fresh ornament
And only herald to the gaudy spring,
Within thine own bud buriest thy content
And, tender churl, mak’st waste in niggarding.
Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
To eat the world’s due, by the grave and thee

(William Shakespeare)

The rhyme scheme of Shakespearian sonnet is abab-cdcd-efef-gg and this is difficult to follow. Hence only Shakespeare is known to have done it.

3☆ Spenserian Sonnet

Sir Edmund Spenser was the first poet who modified the Petrarch’s form and introduced a new rhyme scheme as What guile is this, that those her golden tresses
She doth attire under a net of gold;
And with sly skill so cunningly them dresses,
That which is gold or hair, may scarce be told?
Is it that men’s frail eyes, which gaze too bold,
She may entangle in that golden snare;
And being caught may craftily enfold
Their weaker hearts, which are not yet well aware?
Take heed therefore, mine eyes, how ye do stare
Henceforth too rashly on that guileful net,
In which if ever ye entrapped are,
Out of her bands ye by no means shall get.
Folly it were for any being free,
To covet fetters, though they golden be.

(From Amoretti by Edmund Spenser)

The rhyme scheme in this sonnet is abab-bcbc-cdcd-ee which is specific to Spenser and such types of sonnets are called Spenserian sonnets.

《Function of Sonnet》

The sonnet has become popular among different poets because it has a great adaptability to different purposes and requirements. Rhythms are strictly followed. It could be a perfect poetic style for elaboration or expression of a single feeling or thought with its short length in iambic pentameter. In fact, it gives an ideal laboratory to a poet for exploration of strong emotions. Due to its short length, it is easy to manage for both the writer and the reader.
