Hi all friends. Because it's my first time to join and write in this community, so I thought it would be better if I introduced myself first. My name is Wahyu Nugraha, I am from Indonesia. I am 27 years old.
This weekend's story was quite surprising for me. How could I not, after less than two months I participated in writing and reading poetry competitions at the National level, finally the time I had been waiting for had arrived. Yes, after less than two months I waited for news of who would be the winner in the competition that I participated in for the first time, even though I myself did not enter the first rank but my name was included in the top 20 of the best poets at the national level. I think this is a good start for me who loves to write and read poetry.
Even though I didn't win first place, at least I felt a sense of inner satisfaction with the news and surprises this weekend. The prizes for the competition that I participated in for the first time included Medals, Key Chains, Certificates for the top 20 best poets and selected poets, the last two books of poetry collection from all participants who were selected in the competition.
I really like writing and reading poetry, this hobby has grown since I was in elementary school, until now I still like to write poetry or short poems either at maam or at dusk. With poetry, sometimes I can feel the inner condition of humans, especially teenagers who are heartbroken because of love, or are in deep longing.
Oh yes, here I write a stanza of poetry that I took part in the competition. The original poetry is in Indonesian because I am from Indonesia, but don't worry for the sake of my friends, I will try to translate it into English.
This is the poem. Happy reading, friends.
***At the End of the Night
the place is quiet
everyone has returned to their bed
some close their eyes
then sleep
some are dying because of his joy
of the days that won't come back
In autumn
the leaves are aging and falling
in spring
flowers are blooming
humans are like that too.***
Thank you and have a nice day, friends.
