The Last Love Letter
Hari ini adalah hari terakhir #30HariMenulisSuratCinta.
Surat hari terakhir ini aku tujukan kepada Tuan pengetuk pintu hati. Seseorang yang berkata sulit untuk mengenal dirinya sendiri. Bagaimana bisa aku mengenalmu dengan lebih baik sedang kau sendiri tak mengenal pantulan di cermin kamarmu?. Lihatlah lekat-lekat pada sosok yang terlukis di cermin itu, tidakkah kau jatuh cinta padanya?. Tidakkah bayangan itu mengagumkan?. Apa? Kau tidak dapat melihatnya?. Baiklah, biar ku bantu kau mencintai bayang pada cermin; dirimu.
Tuan, aku menulis surat ini untuk mengungkapkan sesuatu. Sesuatu yang selama ini mengganggu pikiranku, pun perasaanku. Izinkan aku melepas beban yang selama ini terkurung rapat agar setidaknya aku dapat bernapas tanpa sesak.
Tuan, bukan maksudku menolak setiap ajakanmu dengan sengaja, hanya saja mungkin waktu belum merestui pertemuan kita.
Tuan, aku ingin sekali bertemu denganmu. Berbincang dan tertawa bersamamu. Sungguh, sedikitpun aku tidak berdusta. Aku benar-benar ingin.
Tuan, rindu ini telah membumbung tinggi mencapai batasnya, ingin segera dituntaskan. Hatimu tersiksa, bukan? Hatiku pun. Bersabarlah, tinggal sedikit lagi, kita akan dipertemukan.
Tuan, aku suka pantai dan senja. Jangan cemburu pada mereka. Tentu saja, aku lebih menyukaimu. Kalau boleh, maukah kau ajak aku kesana?. Sudah lama sejak terakhir kalinya kakiku menyambut bebutiran pasir. Akupun ingin menyaksikan sang senja hilang diperaduannya, bersamamu.
NB: Semoga tanpa aku mention, kamu sempat membaca suratku ini.
Tertanda,
-Wanitamu Kelak-

30 Day Song Challenge

Day 6 (30-day Poetry Challenge!)
Day 6- Write a poem of any length incorporating every word from your latest Facebook status.
Internally….We’ve all got problems… They may be small but they become big to us. And we know it is real easy to point the fingers at the ones starvin. We can't face it like we can make others face em.

Day 1- Write a poem where each line starts with a letter from your first name (an acrostic). It can be about anything, but it should not be about you or your name.
May was the month of love it was the start of may showers after the
April Fool’s month, where no one can look forward to anything but
Dumb luck, and false birthdays
Everyday is better when you have love either the
Love from above, here or there, as long as it is enough.
Day 2- Who was the last person you texted? Write a five line poem to that person. Tan skin, bright smile, cat like eyes.
Been there, for the best and also saw the sadness and saw you cry.
3 years passed we are there for one another, with minor annoyances
We still prevail through the constant chatter of those with ignorance.
Text, speak, talk, hug, we know that it is still open for love.
Day 3- Find the nearest book (of any kind). Turn to page 8. Use the first ten full words on the page in a poem. You may use them in any order, anywhere in the poem.
"I'll tell you a secret," he said, and drew me close.
He stood in front of me holding a rose,
He looked in my eyes and said we could never be.
Even though it was in my heart that he could see.
He knows I am willing, he knows that I am thrilling.
I would love him till death fulfilled me.
Day 4- Write a haiku. They’re often about nature, but yours can be about anything.
Constantly thinking
When you and I are apart
You are beautiful.
Day 5- Write a three line poem about lemons without using the following words: lemon, yellow, round, fruit, citrus, tart, juicy, peel, and sour.
The the puckering of lip
Squeezed along as we lick
The drop falls on my tongue in one drip.
Day 6- Write a poem of any length incorporating every word from your latest Facebook status.

Day 14- Write a bad poem, make it as lousy as you can, do everything wrong, let yourself be awful. Day 15- Post a poem (written by someone else) that you love (for any reason).

Day 19- Imagine yourself doing any household task/chore, then write a poem using what you’ve imagined as an extended metaphor for writing. Day 20- Write a narrative poem detailing a specific childhood memory. Day 21- Choose one of the poems you’ve already written and posted as part of this challenge and re-order it in some way. You could rearrange the lines or stanzas or even words in a line. Think of it as a puzzle! Day 22- What is the first car you bought/drove/remember? Write a poem about it. Day 23- Write a seven line poem that begins with “it’s true that fresh air is good for the body” (from Frank O’Hara’s poem “Ave Maria”) and ends with “this is our body” (from Gary Snyder’s “The Bath”). Day 24- Write a poem that’s different in some way from anything you’ve ever written. Take a chance! Be wild! Day 25- Write a poem that includes all of the following words: pistachio, ink, pebble, weather, varnish. Day 26- Gather some magazines/catalogs you don’t mind cutting up and spend ten minutes flipping through them looking for words/sentences that spark your interest. Cut out the words as you go, and (at the end of the ten minutes) arrange the words to form a cut-out poem. Day 27- Begin with the title “The Poem I’d Never Write.” Then, write that poem. Day 28- Visit a virtual art gallery and look around until you find a piece that intrigues you. Write a poem inspired by the artwork. Day 29- Briefly research a poetic form of your choice and write a poem according to the rules of that particular form. Day 30- Write a poem employing extended metaphor to illustrate the experience of the last thirty days.
