Section Five

Poem Corner 
 


Birds can be powerful inspiration to write a poem. Indonesia has hundreds of kinds of birds; cranes, peacocks, eagles, cendrawasih (birds of paradise), and parakeet. They all are beautiful. Not only do the birds’ colours and voice become the inspiration but also their size and their move. 
Read the poem below.
 Hop, Hop, Hop

Once I saw a little bird
Come hop, hop, hop;
So I cried, “Little bird,
Will you stop, stop, stop?”
I was going to the window
To say “How do you do?”
But he shook his little tail
And away he flew.


What can you tell about this poem? Write it down here.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


The poets have some ways to write poems:
1) They use complete sentences but the word order is not the same as the ordinary ones. See the sentences below.


THE POEM USE ORDINARY USE
Like you I want to fly. I want to fly like you.
And away he flew. And he flew away.
 
One of the reasons why the words order in poem can be different from the ordinary use is that the writer wants to have rhyme for the last syllable of the line. 

Study the following rhyme (two or more lines have a similar or same sound in the last syllable).
I want you to play with me : the last syllable is [i]
Like you I want to fly : the last syllable is [ai]

The words ‘me’ and ‘fly’ are rhyme.
2) They treat non-human beings as if they were human beings. The narrator speaks to objects as if they could speak. Study the following examples.
a. The palm tree waves hands to me.
b. You (bee) dance low and high.
c. “Little bird will you stop, stop, stop?”
Naturally, people have hands, therefore, they waves hands. 
a) palm trees do not have hands. Therefore, they cannot wave hands. 
b) humans usually dance but not bee; 
c) people usually talk but not bird. 

In poem, however, treating non-human beings as human being is allowed. This way is called personification.


Now, create 3 sentences that have different word order from the ordinary use.
1. ______________________________________________
2. ______________________________________________
3. ______________________________________________
4. ______________________________________________


Now, create 3 sentences that have personification.
1. ______________________________________________
2. ______________________________________________
3. ______________________________________________
4. ______________________________________________
