Randomly I want to share my poem that officially published for poem writing competition in my faculty months ago instead what happened today. This poem was actually written without any special reason or feeling. It is pure for competition. The committee make some requirements for this competition and one of them it must be related to recent issues of this country. Okay...it.was.so.hard. Usually I write poem without any requirement. I write it because I want. Firstly, let me try. and taraaaaaa my poem was one of the big 10 poems! Alhamdulillah. Since then I feel more confident to publish my poems.So...what is that poem is like???Here it is.
Bunga yang terbuang
Di sudut ruang khatulistiwa
Bunga itu tumbuh bersemi
Di tepi jurang yang tak teraih negri
Namun ia tetap bersembunyi
Di balik modernitas zaman
mencoba mekar sendiri
Ia adalah rupa indah nusantara
Namun tak seorangpun berpaling untuk menatapnya
Apalagi kagumi pesonanya
Mungkin kini ia hanya sekedar hiasan terlupa
Atau iseng tumbuh saja
Ketika seulur tangan mencoba datang memetiknya
Seolah semua memilikinya, mengikatnya erat
Hingga ia terjerat
Malangnya kau wahai bunga negri
Dulu terlupakan
Kini jadi rebutan
