I teach a tutorial vocabulary class in Universitas Gadjah Mada. Last week, I asked my students to write poem of their own. I find the most wonderful poems of them.
Sensitized
by Lolita Saras
They are
friends of the sun
They are
friends of the rain
Escapists
of a prudent soul
They are
dressed in shield shell
And drown
when they intend themselves to
The attendance
of the sea
Presents the
shaded view below the surface
Thousands of
Albatrosses are meant for injuries
Oh brothers
of life
I’m about
to be thrilled then die

Silent Nightfall
by Setyani
Sometimes you
would wonder
About each
other sentiment covering your pleasure
Sometimes you
would expect
For glimpse
of light while yield into abyss called yourself
Sometimes you
would weep
When world
turn its back while no strength left
Form of
your dream lamented
Lake beneath
your moon quaked
Sky above
your desire mourned
Simple tarnished
laughter escaped
What would
you do?
What would
you say?
When your dear one
detest your very own self?
So, would
you carry out till the end?
Or would
you broke and blend?
What limit
that grasp you?
Is it still
around?
Is it
really around?
Or is it
just figment of delusion sent by mourn?
Grounded by
name of insanity
Alleged by
substance called immaturity
Were you
questioning your sanity?
Would you
deny your normality?
Will you
hide in false charity?
The ground
beneath you is firm
The sky on
top of you is bright
But stake that
clutch you wail
Realized it
now?
That’s just
comfort made by your frontage
Lithe dream
made by your catastrophe
To hold you
firm
To give you
air
To mend
your sanity
