Messageless Poetry.

[NOTE: If you are somehow amused with this entry, or think it's alright and not too boring, MAKE YOUR OWN HAIKU/POEM IN YOUR COMMENTS pl0x]

It's a Friday night as I write this, and I was supposed to be at Muaither. Was supposed. But then in the car, as we drove to pick Ard up from the Green Guitar I thought 'What the heck! I have, like, projects to do!'

Mom was baffled to see me back at home. She expected me to go to Muaither with Dad. But oh well. I HAVE SUCCEEDED IN REALISING WHAT RESPONSIBLITIES I HAD. POWER!!!1

Anyways, I'm multitasking in eating, Blogging and doing my Geography project. w00t. But since today I just blog to hide my despair -thereasonwasbecauseIpurposelymademyselfnottogotoMuaither- and there are no particular topic(s) to rant about, I shall discuss poetry, because I am highly bored.

I shall start with a haiku. You know what a haiku is? No?

Haiku : (n) is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 morae, in three metrical phrases of 5, 7, 5.

That's very easy.
Do you understand haiku?
Make one up yourself.

^ FAIL. Oh wait, here's another one :

This is a haiku.
Sometimes haiku don't make sense.
Refridgerator.

Okay, I shall cut that out right now. BTW The plural of haiku is haiku.

I remember one time, in Year 5, we were assigned with partners to create our own poems up in pairs. I still remember the first part of me and my friend's poem. You want me to recite it? No? Well here it is, anyways. :D :

There was a boy who's name was Tim,
His friends were very mean to him.
They made him tea with spices in,
And threw him in the garbage bin.

I was relieved when the class gave a few chuckles. XD It was meant to be funny, but I doubted it when we wrote it. Maybe you felt the same way. Not funny, I meant. But the poem I admire most at this stage is Jonathan Reed's Lost Generation. I'm not sure if everyone knows it, but I think it deserves to be known by other people in this society. *lolwt

I am part of a lost generation
and I refuse to believe that
I can change the world
I realize this may be a shock but
“Happiness comes from within.”
is a lie, and
“Money will make me happy.”
So in 30 years I will tell my children
they are not the most important thing in my life
My employer will know that
I have my priorities straight because
work
is more important than
family
I tell you this
Once upon a time
Families stayed together
but this will not be true in my era
This is a quick fix society
Experts tell me
30 years from now, I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce
I do not concede that
I will live in a country of my own making
In the future
Environmental destruction will be the norm
No longer can it be said that
My peers and I care about this earth
It will be evident that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic
It is foolish to presume that
There is hope.

And all of this will come true unless we choose to reverse it .

Read the message, then read it again in reverse, line by line.

Which generation do you belong in?

GIVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR JONATHAN REED, EVERYBODY~
