About me

Jika malam semakin kelam,,,
hati ini tertikam kehidupan,,
jika usai bayang mu mengusik kalbu ,,,
maka tidak salah bukan,,,
jika kubisikan perlahan bahwa,,,,
Aku Cinta Padamu,,,

Aku memilihmu…
Untuk menemani di kala siang tak bermentari
Saat malam tak berbintang
Agar dapat terangiku dengan senyuman

Aku memilihmu…
Saat terik sinar menyengat dan membakar
Ketika bulan sabit atau purnama
Untuk temaniku menyusuri dunia

Aku memilihmu…
Dengan hati yang tak memilih waktu
Sepenuh cinta tanpa masa
Semenjak harap masih mendengung hampa



Poetry (from the Greek "???????", poiesis, a "making") is a form of literary art in which language is used for its aesthetic and evocative qualities in addition to, or in lieu of, its apparent meaning. Poetry may be written independently, as discrete poems, or may occur in conjunction with other arts, as in poetic drama, hymns or lyrics.

Poetry, and discussions of it, have a long history. Early attempts to define poetry, such as Aristotle's Poetics, focused on the uses of speech in rhetoric, drama, song and comedy.[1] Later attempts concentrated on features such as repetition, verse form and rhyme, and emphasized the aesthetics which distinguish poetry from prose.[2] From the mid-20th century, poetry has sometimes been more loosely defined as a fundamental creative act using language.[3]

Poetry often uses particular forms and conventions to suggest alternative meanings in the words, or to evoke emotional or sensual responses. Devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or incantatory effects. The use of ambiguity, symbolism, irony and other stylistic elements of poetic diction often leaves a poem open to multiple interpretations. Similarly, metaphor, simile and metonymy[4] create a resonance between otherwise disparate images—a layering of meanings, forming connections previously not perceived. Kindred forms of resonance may exist, between individual verses, in their patterns of rhyme or rhythm.

Some forms of poetry are specific to particular cultures and genres, responding to the characteristics of the language in which the poet writes. While readers accustomed to identifying poetry with Dante, Goethe, Mickiewicz and Rumi may think of it as being written in rhyming lines and regular meter, there are traditions, such as those of Du Fu and Beowulf, that use other approaches to achieve rhythm and euphony. Much of modern British and American poetry is to some extent a critique of poetic tradition,[5] playing with and testing (among other things) the principle of euphony itself, to the extent that sometimes it deliberately does not rhyme or keep to set rhythms at all.[6][7][8] In today's globalized world, poets often borrow styles, techniques and forms from diverse cultures and languages.
Tips
Who knows — you may just write the "Greatest Poem Ever". Just remember your poem is for the one you love. So make it personal and sensual.
Think about your 'love', how you feel when you are together or apart, what you miss most when you're apart, how you feel when you reunite. Write your thoughts and feelings. Poetry comes from your heart — your thoughts will create a love poem based on your feelings.
There's no need to be intimidated by rhyme schemes. Remember, poetry doesn't have to rhyme. Former Poets Laureate Robert Pinsky, Louise Gluck, Billy Collins and Ted Kooser all write poetry that does not rhyme.
The best writing advice is simple: omit needless words. One strong verb steamrolls any three weak ones.
Poetry and almost all artful prose is about how the words reveal your feelings. Read your writings aloud to yourself to feel what your words are saying. If they stir emotion in you, they will for the person you love.
Make it personal. If your love is named Kim or Vern try to use it. Don't use clichés', find something unique or special in your relationship and write about that. Your poem should be a reflection of the love you both share.
One useful tip for any kind of poem is to "write it twice: first with the heart, then with your brain". Express your feelings without sounding corny.
Read poems for ideas but do not copy them. It will get you nowhere, and your loved one may find out.
It's fine to quote an existing poem. Just include the original author's name and say something like, "I thought of you when I read this."
Some people are more poetic than others when it comes to expressing emotions, don't give yourself a report card, your poem doesn't need to be perfect just yours. A short, simple, romantic phrase or rhyme from your heart can be put in with a small gift to give your loved one. E.G. "I hope this gift will let you see ...how much, my love, you mean to me..."
A poem that can be written in prose isn't a poem, so don't follow the method of writing a huge block of prose, cleaning it up, and then cutting it arbitrarily into lines. Learn to write real poetry in meter--that will show your lover real dedication and effort.
Recognize that this is only ONE way of writing a poem. Google "love poem" for a million others. The issue here is not how good a poem it is, it's how much emotion it evokes in your partner. You don't have to stick to the night you met. Try other powerful moments, for example the evening you two walked together just before the birth of your first child, the time you two got caught in the rain, clutching his/her hand on the roller coaster, etc. etc.
The sonnet may be the best format for a love poem. Don't cheat on the syllable rule either - it will ruin the rhythm. Look to Shakespeare for help.
If you want to rhyme, there are great rhyming dictionaries on the internet. Try to stay away from one syllable words and try making every other line rhyme.
Golden Rule: If you are sincere, your partner will love it. Guaranteed.
If you really like them you don't need a poem, a boy/girl would love you if you just told them how you felt about them. Be honest!!

Before I met my soul mate, David, I did what many women have probably done. Yes, I spent hours after hours reading everything I could find on, "how to find the right guy", "how to get a man to be interested in me", "how to get a man to fall in love with me."

I even visited forums, baring my soul by sharing my disappointment and asking others the possible reasons why I'm still single. I never got anything helpful and many were just mean and made rude remarks about what must be wrong with me. It hurts so badly, especially when I was already feeling like a loser and lonely already. I was getting more and more confused and depressed.

I kept thinking, "What's wrong with me?" Other women around me who seemed pretty average had great guys who adored them. I was envious and wondered what they had that I didn't?

I scoured the internet, purchased and downloaded some relationship books hoping they had the answers I was searching for. I did everything those books said to do but after a while, I realized that I was no longer being myself.

The more I tried the more I became disappointed. It was getting bad. It was wearing me out trying to be someone I wasn't. And all the while, I kept seeing many men falling in love with average women. Again that nagging question, "What do they know that I don't?"

I was ready to give up hope and be single for the rest of my life when I did one more search and found the book, Men Made Easy. I read and re-read Kara's Twelve Simple Secrets because it really spoke to my heart like a sweet angel sent from heaven coming down to rescue me and pull me out of the deep pit I was in.

I'd found what I had been searching for and my life began to turn around. The information in this book was easy to follow and I was actually encouraged to be myself, but the best version of myself, not a fake version.

Men began to pay attention to me; they wanted to get to know me and made me feel like a queen.

When David showed up I knew how to be the kind of woman who could cause a man to fall in love which is exactly what happened.

Improve your appearance—make sure you are healthy and that you are appealing. Your hair, teeth, nails and skin should be appealing, clean and in good repair. Feel good about yourself and be confident—making sure you are appealing will increase your self-esteem. This will attract the guy—guys like women who are confident in themselves.

Ask your girlfriends what your blind spots are —these are weaknesses you have that you just don’t know about. A good girlfriend will tell you exactly what they are—maybe you have bad breath and don’t know it, maybe your excessive swearing is noticeable, maybe you are a gossip queen or you just have bad manners.

Find out what your weaknesses are and find out how to fix them. Your girlfriend or girlfriends can help so that you can bolster the crucial positive impression you are trying to make on Mr. Right. However, don’t be someone you aren’t either—the true you should still shine through. No one is perfect, and everyone is allowed to have some flaws, don’t be afraid to be who you are, selling yourself as someone you aren’t will only destroy a relationship.

People skills— get your people skills in order. You need to avoid arguments, start off conversations in a friendly manner, talk nicely, be nice and give compliments that are sincere. You should always work to make whomever you are talking to feel important—don’t wave them off or drift out of the conversation—really listen to what they are saying. Remember, this is Mr. Right and you are trying to get him to fall for you. Don’t be afraid to disagree, but don’t put down their fundamental beliefs either—everyone is entitled to their opinion, but that doesn’t mean that theirs is wrong and yours is right.

Small talk is important too— have something nice to say and say it well. Use appropriate emotions when you are talking, know when to not talk and focus more on listening to him than on hearing your own voice.

Let yourself be real to him— lower your guard a bit and admit some of your shortcomings. Tease him tastefully—all in an effort to get him to lower his guard a bit, this way he can learn who you really are.

Let him know all the ‘you’ there is to know —the hottie, the sweetie and the real you. Spend some time highlighting the hottie you—the feminine and sexy qualities that you possess. Let him see your warm, caring and kind you—the sweetie that you are. Also let him see who you are normally—the real you with your strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes and your personality.

Lead him to an emotional moment— when the emotions are high, be your best self. This will impact him in more ways than any subtlety can. These moments are the ones that imprint into his heart and soul that he will remember.

Don’t play too hard to get— those things that are elusive are things men will eventually just give up on. Also, don’t get clingy too fast —you don’t have to call him 50 times a day to let him know you’re thinking of him. Once is fine…give the man some space to be with his thoughts about you without the constant (and nagging) reminder that you are attached to him.

Be attractive and sexy—not overbearing and cheap. Keep your morals and values and don’t overextend yourself—if you are cheap and easy, you won’t make a lasting impression, just a fast one. Something worth keeping requires work on his behalf too.

Have fun and don’t forget to be a friend as well to your Mr. Right. In no time, he will be head over heels in love with the real you.

Are you aware of certain individuals who can radiate strength and power, and who are able to impress anyone they like to influence? Learn their secrets, and how you could be one of them today!
Do any of these sound familiar? * Fall in love with a great man today!You call a man that you are interested in and he doesn't call back * You want to find the right man but don't even know where to start looking * You are considering leaving your husband or boyfriend because you just can't seem to make things work or understand him. * You are stuck in a loop of dating one loser after another * Men seem to be interested at first and then stop caring * You don't know what you are doing wrong when it comes to men * You seem to be stuck with "friend" syndrome where you want want more but guys just want to be friends * Your relationships are always dull, boring and unfulfilling * You just plain don't "get" men The sad part is that if you could just figure out and understand men you could have a happy, fulfilling relationship and finally have the love that you deserve. Love can bring so much happiness and joy to your life, but until you learn to catch the attention of the right man and make him fall in love with you, or learn to understand the man you've already got it is like you are on the outside looking in. You see couples that appear to have it all but you can't find a way to get that same love, passion and devotion in your life. Don't worry, you are not alone! There is a ton of confusion and so many questions when it comes to finding a great relationship with a man, and there aren't a lot of answers available. You shouldn't feel bad for not knowing how to find a great man, either. It isn't exactly something they teach you in school. Not only that, but if you try to get advice from your girlfriends you are no better off since they probably don't understand men any better than you! What you need to do is forget everything you ever thought you knew about getting a great man, and start over learning from scratch. You wouldn't expect to be great at physics or math without going to school for it, right? Why then, would you expect to know how to be great at getting what you deserve out of a relationship and finding a really great guy without learning how? If you are ready to get the fulfilling, life changing relationship that you have been wanting, I would recommend reading The Woman Men Adore...and Never Want to Leave by Bob Grant. This book has been featured on nationally syndicated radio shows and is recommended by some of the top relationship experts in the country. You can download it immediately and start on the path toward happiness today. Even if you aren't sure if it is right for you, you can read a free chapter of this book here (scroll partway down the page) Stop wishing and start living life to its fullest! The perfect man is out there and you can lead a happy, rich, joyful life filled with love. You just need to learn how. Find the Right Person for Either a Short-term Love Affair or Long-term Relationship Anyone can fall in love. It takes no special feat. However, to avoid the heartache of falling in love with someone who does not suit you, follow this advice. 1. Become friends first, good friends if possible. Being sexually attracted to this person you are interested in is unavoidable, but make sure you do not put yourself in a position where you become more physical with a person than emotionally connected. Keep the two balanced to know you both are on the same track. 2. Slow. Things. Down. 3. Watch/listen. Take in all the person is, and do not build a fairy tale around someone who is seemingly perfect. Recognize flaws and determine if this person's positive attributes out weigh the negative components. Moreover, decide if their traits suit you and your desires or if they compromise you. 4. Express yourself openly. See how you feel after a few times of opening up to them. They might not truly understand you; this is a very bad sign. If they do understand you, then this is a fantastic sign. Proper communication is central to an amicable relationship. 5. This ties into number four. Now, talk about everything. Do not shy away from intimate or unconventional topics. This includes, but is not excluded to: sexual expectations, family history, traumatic events, strange/embarrassing fears, bodily functions, your relationships expectations, etc. This is only the "falling in love" stage, and I only aim to make it a joyful experience. Real, lasting love is a different story. Even following these steps, a relationship will fall apart (although most likely in an amicable manner). Watch for the next article for perpetuating a relationship. Warnings: - Do not try too hard to make it work in the beginning if it simply will not work in the beginning. You will save yourself more heartache then you can even imagine. - "Falling in love" feelings have a typical lifespan of about six months to a year. If the two people have not mutually thrown emotional anchors in each other, then the relationship will dwindle. - Never lie. Ever. Never lie and never cheat How to Write a Love Poem

Steps
Write a page of standard prose, as fast as you can, about how you felt the first time you saw your loved one, how you felt the first time you knew you were in love, and how you feel right now about being together. These three moments in time will create the structure of your poem.
Replace any weak verbs with stronger verbs and any pronouns with proper nouns. Words depicting the 5 senses work well for love poems.
Reread your passage and pick a metaphor to tie the three moments together. Choosing a metaphor is the most fun part so be wild with it. An opening flower is a tried and true metaphor for love, but a cloud that looks like a heart might work even better.
Rewrite your passage using the metaphor to describe the three moments.
Read your page aloud, change things that sounds "off" to you. Make notes where you feel there's a pause in the flow.
Write the poem, putting a line breaks where you made the notes.
Whether you type or write the poem consider framing your poem. Your loved one may want to keep the poem as a memento!
Read the poem aloud to the person you love, or present it as a gift to them.
Let your poem come from your heart, not your mind or soul, but how you feel. As you think about how you're feeling deep down inside your words will come out through your finger tips, slowly your words will unwind and become something beautiful on a piece of paper. Express your feelings don't hold them in.

Poetry slams are Olympics-style poetry reading competitions, where five judges randomly selected from the audience score poets from 1 to 10. Since slam's inception, it has spawned an HBO television series, a Tony-award winning Broadway production, and been the subject of many documentaries. With judges randomly selected from the audience, poetry slams can be literary events, or they can be popularity contests. Sometimes the judges bring common sense, other times they bring dice. While it is difficult to consistently win poetry slams against talented performers, you can maximize your own consistency in placing well. Being able to put up consistently high finishes is the key to winning a slam league or tournament. 1. Read and write all the livelong day. Read poems online, in literary journals, in books. Sharpen your writing skills so that your poems are thoroughly edited and polished. Find poets who are willing to offer criticism and listen to them. Read their work and comment on how it can be tuned-up. Being in a community of writers is the best way to make rapid improvements. 2. Develop confidence and stage presence. Both of these traits come from experience, so go to your local open mics and read. Prepare one or two poems a week and hit as many venues as possible to get in a lot of practice. In a month you'll have read over 40 times, and will begin to naturally have a knack for listening and responding to an audience. 3. Watch the best. DVDs are available of top competitors, and can be bought at PoetrySlam.com and other sites around the internet. There are DVDs for Nationals since 2000 and Worlds since 2004, and studying them gives you a great perspective on what poems look like at the highest level of competition. 4. Understand the two forms of scoring: cumulative rounds and clean-slate rounds. In cumulative round scoring, a poet's score is added from round to round, and the winner of the slam is determined by the highest cumulative score. In clean-slate, a poet's rank is determined round to round, without considering their previous scores. It is possible for the overall highest scoring poet to come dead last in the last round of a slam! 5. In cumulative round slams, read your best work early. As slams progress, score margins begin to decrease, to it's important to take the biggest lead you can, as early as you can. In clean-slate slams, you want to save your best poem for the very last round, and read whatever poems you can to make it into the next round. 6. Establish synergy within your poems. The audience is always viewing you as a character, whose stories you tell through your poems. Think about how reading different combinations of poems over a night changes the way your character looks, and what kind of persona you can create. Sometimes, you want to be very serious and political, and will read three consecutive political poems. Other times, you'll want to be more lighthearted, and you'll read something easier to digest. In general, the most believable persona you can create in your poems, the better you'll perform in the slam.



Puisi (Indahmu)
Author: Hyu

Masih jelas tersimpan dalam benakku
Sebait puisi untuk dirimu
Ketika ragaku tak mampu hadir untukmu
Dalam penat dan letih yang iringi langkahku
Saat waktu tak mampu hantarkan jiwa
Tuk temani gelap malammu

Harusnya kau sadar semuanya berlalu
Bila sang waktu hadirkan cinta untukmu
Selagi angan dan cita masih bersama
Arungi mimpi indah berdua
Kan ku tulis sebagai puisi terindah
Untukmu sang dewi yang terindah

Dan di sini ku mulai menepi
Dan di sini ku memulai mimpi
Yang kan beraikan ilusi
Goresan tinta emas siratkan janji
Namamu dalam benakku
Hatimu dalam jiwaku
Dan indahmu dalam puisiku

My work

Saat aku ada di dekatmu
Rasa nyaman hinggap di benakku
Saat aku sendiri dan butuh teman berbagi
Sosok dirimu yang kucari

Pertamanya ku tak menyangka
Ku anggap dirimu hanya teman saja
Kupikir rasa ini hanya sekedar kekaguman sosokmu semata
Ternyata semua ini adalah cinta

Terbersit gundah saat kusadari
Bahwa semua rasa ini tak biasa
Ingin kumenyatakannya
Namun kutakut merusak rasa yang sudah terbiasa ada
Bukan di diriku… Tapi di dirimu…
