contoh I puisi tentang Cinta (patah hati)


"Good Friend"

If only could i fall into your arms
i just might never let you go
if only could i go through a war
i would do everything to win your heart

You told me you loved her
instilling the pain like arrows in my heart
you said i was a good friend
it was blue knowing the truth that i couldn't be more

here i am as a good friend
still thinking about being by your side
through every type of weather,
i will always be right beside you

because i am a good friend
whose heart is locked up
who is still waiting for the chance
to see that you may love me



Contoh II puisi Lingkungan (environment)

Will we do Nothing?

our mother nature stops smiling
shed a tear every day and night
its blue is almost gone
turns into the dark brown all the way

there's no bike but car
there's no buffalo but tractor
there's no hut but high house
there's no wood but zoo

our mother nature is in pain
lost her heath time by time
lost her blue day by day
lost her greeb year by year

no one knows
no one wants to know
no one cares
no one wants to care
will we do nothing?

i don't think so.


Contoh III. Puisi tentang masa kecil (poems about childhood / growing up)

Did you remember?

Did you remember?
when the world seemed to be fair?
when war was only a card game?
when the sun had eyes and hug smile?
when the universe was around toys?

Did you remember?
when mother's arms were the safest place to hide?
when dad's shoulders were the highest place on earth?
when homework was just about what color you should pick?
when we couldn't wait to grow up?

there was a time when we lived in our dreams
when love was just the shape of a heart
the time when our hearts didn't have a black
the time that would never come back

the amazingly great childhood
the thing that i will never forget.
