A Compilation of Poems by Vina Yulita

1. Butterfly Poem

Butterfly begins to fly. Beautiful and graceful,

varied and enchanting, small but unstoppable. Flies

and never feels tired. Butterfly leads you to the

sunny side of life. Everyone deserves a little sunshine like butterfly. Butterfly is a flying flower. That’s why I call butterfly attractive, colorful,

        and peaceful.  Butterfly and flower drift in

  color, illuminating spring. With the rose,

    butterfly is deep in love.

2. Children Poem

Giggle

When I feel happy, I can smile. The biggest smile I know.

Then you can see my happiness show.

Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee.

Come on get silly and laugh with me.

Giggle gaggle, wiggle waggle

I've got a tickle, it makes me wiggle.

It makes me jiggle.

Can't hold it in. I just gotta giggle.

I got the sillies and when you get 'em, you’ll start to wiggle. 

3. Metaphor Poems

Family

My Family is the summer season. Always bright, cheerful, and vivacious

Dad is my Mr. Golden Sun. The bright ray of sun. Always there to guide and brighten my day and my way

   

Mom is my beautiful palm tree of motherly love. Always stands to shade me

My brother is the tranquil waves of intelligence

My little sister is the white sands. Beautiful, pure yet hard to be grasped

Friends

The endless road of joy

The faithful angel of darkness

The helpful medicine of sadness

The immortal fire of spirit

The unlimited fuel of happiness

The unfading colors of flowers

4. Imagery Poem

Follow the Light

We might not know where to go

All we need is to take it slow

Feed the feeling in our hearts

Don't conceal any parts

Then just follow the light..

No one can stop what has begun

There is no chance for everyone to replay

All of our tears will dry faster in the sun,

Starting from today

Shine, shine, shine, and shine our way..

There is a feeling deep inside

We can let it be our guide

there is no time for us to waste

Got to take a leap of faith

We got a lot to learn

And now it's our turn

To fly, fly away..

5. Acrosstic Poem

VINA

™Valuing friendship when love matches exhausted me

™Incognito in the deepest forest under the moonlight

™Nervous, jealous,  adventurous, collide into one

™Appetite assassinates my very being 

6. Simile Poems

Friends 

Family is like a home

You can never leave it too far

Home is like heaven

Always give comfort that you need

Home is like a jar contains collection of life stories

Home is like happiness. Nothing is best like home.

Eyes

Your eyes are like stars

They are shining at night

They take a glance at me now

My eyes are burnt hope you to hold me so tight

English Poem by HEEMUN

CIGARETTE

The breathing hell of smoke in the flame.

The flame life in fantasy smoke

The reducing life and the getting terribly ill

Calling from heaven

  Unpleasant smell and sickening smell

Everywhere it soaks

threatens human beings.

  It is you, the charming cigarette.

GAS

Terrible and distinguished smell

becoming biological weapons

The noiseless silence

Unlimited pleasant sensation 

Sometimes,

You appear to form the air

The air near by the intestines and the excrement.

It’s you, breaking wind. 

Your Meaning in My Life

—When I saw you,

—I felt you were God’s present for me.

—When you said me papa at first time,

—I did not want to change that  with anything.

—When you were 6 years old,

—I wanted to kill you, but you are the little important thing for me.

—When you were 8 years old,

—I always waited for you until you got back home from school.

—When you were in university

—I was proud of you.

—When you got married,

—I wanted to remember  these scenes forever.

—When you gave me the grand children.

—I was happy to meet them.

—At now,

—I’m sorry, my little child.

—I leave you…

—Good bye, my little boy.. 

FAMILY

—I like father

—Because of money

—Papa, please give me money

—I like mother

—Because of her homemade  cooking.

—Mama, please give me some food

—I like my sister

—Because  of her being my servant.

—Hey, sister. Get it for me!

—These are the reasons I like my family.  

That day

When I entered upon a new life in replacement depot,

I could not look back to my mother,

For fear of getting weakened in my resolution.

For fear of crying in front of mother.

For fear of going back on my obligation.

When my mother came back to home from the replacement depot,

She could not stop crying,

For fear that her child might get sick.

For fear that her child might be hurt.

For fear that her child might misadjust in the army.

At that day,

I could not sleep easily fearing the new life.

Neither could she, because of her child.

Lee Sun Sin

The honorable victory of the great general and creative inventor

The brilliant battle resulted from the war.

When Japan heard his name, they ran away

100 wins in 100 battles

The brilliant battle resulted from the war.

The strong turtle ship and canon

100 wins in 100 battles

The immortal general Lee Sun Sin

The strong turtle ship and canon

7000 loss Japanese ship and 10000 loss Japanese soldier

The immortal general Lee Sun Sin

The red desire of independent  from Japan

7000 loss Japanese ship and 10000 loss Japanese soldier

The honorable victory of the great general and creative inventor

The red desire of independent from Japan

When Japan heard his name, they ran away.

The Missing One

Inspiration

Is wandering around your breath

Sometimes your brain inhales it

and decorates it into an idea

Neither goor nor bad

But as inspiration often dresses in disguise

Your brain cannot recognize it

And just let it go

Hiding between seconds you hold in hands

Hanging in every life scenes you captured in mind

Singing along your life rythm

Dancing among written words

It will wait

For those who can find it

It will welcome

Whoever willing to see and pick

PANTOUMS

When the wind blows

 A stem of your dream has just fallen

 from the old tree you once have planted

in the corner of our wide yard.

During the rotten days of a start.

From the old tree you once have planted

I could see your life far away

During the rotten days of a start

and also at the time being.

I could see your life far away

since in the tree is where your heart stays.

And also at the time being

When  youth is starting to decay.

Since in the tree is where your heart stays

A stem of your dream has just fallen

When youth is starting to decay

In the corner of our wide yard.
