A Boring But Happy Day

Hey readers, this is another modern poetry that I wrote today! Hope you like it!


From the sunlight out the window,
I am seating at my desk casted by a shadow,
Using my computer,
Busy checking my twitter.

This is in the midday,
Of a sunny Saturday,
I look at the clock and it tells me three,
Besides twittering I have nothing else to do and am very free.

So I decided to sit down here and write a poetry,
To show the readers my artistry,
And as to kill time slow and gently
Without doing things violently.

While brainstorming as I walk around the area of my old neighbourhood,
I seem to remember the memory of my childhood,
For this surroundings are still planted with the same old sugar cane,
Which now seems to me like a memory lane.

Ten years haven't dimmed the thrill of the fun,
Of good moments shared with my friends under the happy sun,
The good old times are always the best,
For it is different from the rest.

Well the glowing afternoon seems very long,
But it didn't bother me because I'm having fun walking and listening to my favourite song,
And in this moment of calm and peace,
Is where I get the ideas for my latest masterpiece.

The 21st Century Life

This is an original poetry that I came up with during English class in tuition. It's part of the assignment. Guess what? I got an A+, so I decided to share this with you guys, enjoy!


My parents used to tell straight into my ears,
That life was hard and poor back then in fifty years,
Working day and night but nothing seemed to improve,
Still, I'm sceptical about the story as there were no proof.

Right now, I'm always busy,
Because this is the 21st century life, which is very lousy,
I barely have the chance to rest in my cozy cushion,
Because for me, my daily schedule is filled with tuition.

Back then, my parents barely see a phone,
But now, even a four-year old kid has a fancy mobile phone,
Life changes, like the value of gold
Everything is now going old.

Modern life is full of obstacles,
But life must go on, said my father wearing his spectacles,
The society is turning bad,
This makes me very sad.

At least my parents got to work at young age,
Unlike me, who is stuck in the house like a bird in a cage,
Because it is not safe to go out now,
So I might as well stay in the house with my dog, named Cow.

Things are getting more and more expensive,
Life is just explosive,
Oh my poor pocket,
It's unbelievable how much I spend a day, my eyes nearly pop out of its socket.
