what a shame..
oh such shame...
the sun is out
lovely day!
oh what a shame...
a waste of sunshine..
because im trapped in the library..
drown under piles of books...

tetiba teringat plak at a poem i used to like soo much...
Schoolboy by William Blake..
I love to rise in a summer morn,
When the birds sing on every tree;
The distant huntsman winds his horn,
And the skylark sings with me:
O what sweet company!
But to go to school in a summer morn, -
O it drives all joy away!
Under a cruel eye outworn,
The little ones spend the day
In sighing and dismay.
Ah then at times I drooping sit,
And spend many an anxious hour;
Nor in my book can I take delight,
Nor sit in learning's bower,
Worn through with the dreary shower.
How can the bird that is born for joy
Sit in a cage and sing?
How can a child, when fears annoy,
But droop his tender wing,
And forget his youthful spring!
O father and mother if buds are nipped,
And blossoms blown away;
And if the tender plants are stripped
Of their joy in the springing day,
By sorrow and care's dismay, -
How shall the summer arise in joy,
Or the summer fruits appear?
Or how shall we gather what griefs destroy,
Or bless the mellowing year,
When the blasts of winter appear?
uhukkk...and this term i have to take up Literature again...or was it Litorture? uhukk... hope it wasnt so bad reading children's literature. honestly, i dont mind reading any of those literature pieces.. seriously! and reading it wasnt so bad...its the understanding-it part is THE nightmare..
ok la...the reason im here wasnt really to blog...but trying to read Robert Browning... uhuk.. in order to understand his words u have to know hell alot about him... even trying to read and understand the interpretation of his poem pun membuatkan aku membuka dictionary...uhuk...WHY oh WHY??? Why do i have to do this on a bright sunny spring day????
*jeles tgk org putih dok berjemur...aku nak berjemur kang tak releven plakk uhuk...*

hmm..
dari dulu lagi i memang tak berapa nak ambil berat poetry. thats explains why i hardly understand poems.
It's good that you have the love for such kind. Maybe it's because i wanted to remove the jiwang image out of myself.
Biasala kan, sajak2 ni, jiwang la tu dulu dulu.. tapi difikirkan balik, orang putih lagi jiwang2. Bagi poem dah boleh jantuh cinta.
Gosh.. i have to return my ownself long long time ago..
hey..who said kalau suka poem jiwang?? hhuhu...and i cannot stress any further that im certainly NOT that kind.. haha..
i learn alot from poems tau...and most poems i studied is about life.. hell loads about it! i have a few favourites..
