Aku Ingin Berpuisi

Aku ingin berpuisi
Tentang waktu yang berlari tak berkeluh kesah
Tentang aliran air got
Walau tersumbat tak ber demo

Tentang ikan emas di dalam telaga
Mengipaskan ekornya menaikan pasir...
Biarkan saja...
Lukiskan saja sarangnya di sudut telaga
Jangan di lempar...
Jangan menambah kotornya telaga...

setyelah masuk ke beberapa blog dan liat banyak puisi.. egh pengen juga bikin puisi

Our Eart

Ingat nggak di masa masa sekolah kita sering di ajarin tentang bulan pada kalender. Dari bulan januari sampai bulan Desember, mulai dari jumlah harinya sampai karakter dari bulan tersebut.

Dan yang lebih sering keingat adalah musim cuaca pada bulan bulan tersebut. Kita di kasih tau kalo bulan yang berakhiran BER, seperti September, Oktober, November dan Desember adalah bulan yang memiliki musim Hujan, selain bulan tersebut umumnya musim panas.

Sekarang coba kita lihat apa yang terjadi ?
Kita nggak bisa lagi berpedoman dengan itu semua. Bulan yang berawalan “ Ber “ bukan lagi bulan yang memiliki musim hujan, malah banyak menjadi musim kemarau... kekeringan dimana mana. Sebaliknya juga begitu, bulan Januari, Februari, Maret April Mei Juni Juli dan Agustus bukan lagi musim kemarau, malah banjir dimana mana, bahkan lebih besar dari tahun tahun sebelumnya.

Apa sebenarnya yang terjadi pada bumi ini ?
