POETRY
Narrative poetry
Narrative poetry is a genre of poetry that tells a story. Broadly it subsumes epic poetry, but the term “narrative poetry” is often reserved for smaller works, generally with more appeal to human interest. Narrative poetry may be the oldest type of poetry.
Example :
(Anne Carson,
"Autobiography of Red")
“…Small, red, and
upright he waited,
gripping his new bookbag tight
in one hand and touching a lucky penny inside his coat
pocket with the other,
while the first snows of winter
floated down on his eyelashes and covered the branches
around him and silenced
all trace of the world.”
Epic poetry
Epic poetry is a genre of poetry, and a
major form of narrative literature. This genre is often defined as lengthy
poems concerning events of a heroic or important nature to the culture of the
time. It recounts, in a continuous narrative, the life and works of a heroic or
mythological person or group of persons.
Example :
Of all creatures that breathe and move upon the earth,
nothing is bred that is weaker than man.
(Homer, The Odyssey)
3. Dramatic poetry
Dramatic poetry is drama written in verse
to be spoken or sung, and appears in varying, sometimes related forms in many
cultures.
Example :
"The Dream Called Life" by Pedro Calderon de
la Barca
DREAM it was in which I found
myself.
And you that hail me now, then
hailed me king,
In a brave palace that was all my
own,
Within, and all without it, mine;
until,
Drunk with excess of majesty and
pride,
Methought I towered so big and
swelled so wide
That of myself I burst the
glittering bubble
Which my ambition had about me blown
And all again was darkness. Such
a dream
As this, in which I may be
walking now,
Dispensing solemn justice to you
shadows,
Who make believe to listen; but
anon
Kings, princes, captains,
warriors, plume and steel,
Ay, even with all your airy
theater,
May flit into the air you seem to
rend
Lyric poetry
Lyric poetry is a genre that, unlike epic and dramatic poetry, does not attempt to tell a story but instead is of a more personal nature. Poems in this genre tend to be shorter, melodic, and contemplative. Rather than depicting characters and actions, it portrays the poet’s own feelings, states of mind, and perceptions. Refer to my analysis of lyric poetry and its association with lyrics.
Example :
By none other than William Shakespeare. Here's his famous "Sonnet
Number 18:"
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed.
There are some of Indonesian Poetry, such as :
Elegy
An elegy is a mournful, melancholy or
plaintive poem, especially a lament for the dead or a funeral song. The term
“elegy,” which originally denoted a type of poetic metre (elegiac metre),
commonly describes a poem of mourning.
Example :
Sia-Sia²
Karya: Chairil Anwar
Penghabisan kali itu kau datang
Membawa kembang berkarang
Mawar merah dan melati putih
Darah dan suci
Kau tebarkan depanku
Serta pandang yang memastikan: untukmu
Lalu kita sama termangu
Saling bertanya: apakah ini?
Cinta? Kita berdua tak mengerti
Sehari kita bersama. Tak gampir-menghampiri.
Ah! Hatiku yang tak mau memberi
Mampus kau dikoyak-koyak sepi.
Februari, 1943
Balada Orang-orang Tercinta
Karya: W.S. Rendra
Kita bergantian menghirup asam
Batuk dan lemas terceruk
Marah dan terbaret-baret
Cinta membuat kita bertahan
dengan secuil redup harapan
Kita berjalan terseok-seok
Mengira lelah akan hilang
di ujung terowongan yang terang
Namun cinta tidak membawa kita
memahami satu sama lain
Kadang kita merasa beruntung
Namun harusnya kita merenung
Akankah kita sampai di altar
Dengan berlari terpatah-patah
Mengapa cinta tak mengajari kita
Untuk berhenti berpura-pura?
Kita meleleh dan tergerus
Serut-serut sinar matahari
Sementara kita sudah lupa
rasanya mengalir bersama kehidupan
Melupakan hal-hal kecil
yang dulu termaafkan
Mengapa kita saling menyembunyikan
Mengapa marah dengan keadaan?
Mengapa lari ketika sesuatu
membengkak jika dibiarkan?
Kita percaya pada cinta
Yang borok dan tak sederhana
Kita tertangkap jatuh terperangkap
Dalam balada orang-orang tercinta
Dalam Doaku
Pada suatu hari
nanti
Di hamparan sajadah
Ragaku terkapar jiwaku melayang
Suaraku kian senyap menggema
Dzikir yang bersitahankan
Rasa gejolak yang entah batasnya
Namun aku terfakur dalam kemasyukan
Cinta yang tak’kan pernah selesai
Dengan kalimat AMIN
Puisi Fia Afridah "Bangsaku"
Aku kecil namun aku tak bisa dianggap kecil
Aku lemah namun aku tak bisa menyerah
Selama nyawa masih melekat di dalam raga
Dan suara detak jantung msih terasa
Ku akan terus berlari mengejar sang surya
Walaupun aku miskin bukan berarti aku tak punya
Dengan semangat empat lima
Dengan suara lantang mendekaKu terus kobarkan sang saka
Demi bangsaku tercinta

My simple dreams
My overall goals and dreams are simple.. To be happy and have success beyond money but with love and happiness. I also dream to make a difference in the young minds that I will influence. I want to be a great parent and wife as well… A role model that they can be proud of and someone my parents admire. I just want to be happy and know that in my life I did all I could to be the best I could be. But where ever I am in my future I hope I am proud of my accomplishments and I hope I can become the person I dream to be now. A person with a continued kind heart, loving, caring, strong, and most of all determined for change.

Game in my phone
the same thing with my brother
my name is ifah and i have a brother named ludvi. we have the same hobby, our hobby is playing playstasion or Ps. when I was in elementary school my mother bought us Ps2.and we played a shootout. at that time we completed the mission within one month. It's so long because we are still amateurs in shooting games and also still do not understand the correct strategy in a game. then, when I entered junior high school. my dad bought me Ps4 as a gift because I received a favorite junior high school. at that moment I invited my brother to play call of duty. why did I choose that game. because I already have a prior basis for playing shots. And besides how to play it is not much different from my previous game. only modif is more modern as time changes. I like games that boost concentration and adrenaline. and one of them is shooting

My Hobby
I was interested in badminton when I was 10 years old, because my family included sports lovers. and the sport that is often played is badminton. when I was young I was taught playing techniques, how to hold the right racket, how to focus on the ball. so that the cock does not fall to its own place. when I was in elementary school, I was included in the inter-school championship and thanks God I won. since then I have been more diligent in training my abilities. Until now I am still playing badminton, but not as active as before, because I have gone to college and many assignments that I have to complete

My Favorite food
Actually I like all of kinds of food. Almost all of the food to be my favorite. I love fried rice, but it has reason because I mostly eat fried rice. Previously I don’t like the fried rice, but because my mother used to often make it for breakfast before going to school. I also become love to fried rice. Formerly, when my mom makes breakfast fried rice in the morning I rarely spends the fried rice which made my mother, but over time I try to spend it for breakfast. I make my habits to finish my breakfast every my mom make fried rice because I often become weak rather when Monday comes I must finish my breakfast because I have ceremony flag. Now I really liked the fried rice. I do not have a favorite place for fried rice customers because I can cook by self and with my own creations. In the other hand, my brother often brought fried rice from the job to home. But I prefer the fried rice that I have created by self. I do not like to eat fried rice is already cold, so every time I finished cooking fried rice. I devoured it quickly so that I eat fried rice is not cold. If the fried rice was cold, I rarely devoured. Sometimes I reheat fried rice was cold; sometimes I give to my brother who ate it because he also likes to eat fried rice. Whenever I cook fried rice, I always try new creations. I often add cabbage, sometimes sprout into fried rice and never miss the sausages and corned beef in my fried rice.
