My first attempt at modern poem, written in 1992. At that time
I was feeling quite low because I find that friendship is such a
fragile thing.
After graduation, all of us went different ways; some I thought
were my good friends never bother to keep in touch. And when you
called them out, there are so distant and cold. Fortunately a few
remain, for that, thank you.
AFTER
GRADUATION
I remember in my school days, I used to have many, many
friends.
And the days were always nearly full pf laughter, full of
funs.
But once after we graduated, things no longer remain the
same.
Some of us decided to go oversea, while most worked
or joined the army. Sometimes I still called them
out for a little chat. But most were
always nearly not at home, or simply
too busy. And the rest of
them said that after nearly
a year or less
they could not
really remembered
me.
Ive arranged the number of words in each sentence from 13 words to
1 single word. These symbolized my numbers of friends decreasing
and my feeling getting lower and lower.
Ive stress the word nearly 3 times in the poem because I realize
that nothing in this world is 100%, even for something as precious
as friendship. Sad but thats life.
