Duck

In a small moist place 

I hear a loud voice of "quack!"

and dive as it splash.



---Haiku---
 a short poem that uses imagistic language to convey the essence of an experience of nature or the season intuitively linked to the human condition.

A friend is..

Someone who maybe as different

from you as night is from day

Who welcomes seeing life

from your point of view.


Someone whose willing to help most

through your up's and down

Embraced you by a caring touch

and holds with a tander hand.


Someone who respects

and enjoy your company

Yet sticks to remind you

of your worth everyday.


Above all, a friend is someone

who believes in you

just the way you are

and stays forever.




---FREE VERSE---
a form of poetry that does not use consistent meter patterns, rhyme, or any other musical pattern. It thus tends to follow the rhythm of natural speech.

The Beauty of Nature


The wind is singing a lullaby
as it swishes through the trees
A soft touch of warm breeze
where it swings the summer leaves.

The water plays full of fun
enchanting splash under the sun
And waves flash with blast
glitters gold in each glance.

The sun smile with delight
which is worth seeing sight
Spectacular glow its light
simply gives life.

The earth speaks with a gentle voice
and stand to its lovely poise
reaching for greener choice
like we owe everything to Our Source.
