THE STAR

By Jane Taylor (1806)

TWINKLE, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

When the blazing sun is gone,

When he nothing shines upon,

Then you show your little light,

Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the trav'ller in the dark,

Thank you for your tiny spark,

He could not see which way to go,

If you did not twinkle so.

In the dark blue sky you keep,

And often thro' my curtains peep,

For you never shut your eye,

Till the sun is in the sky.

'Tis your bright and tiny spark,

Lights the trav'ller in the dark:

Tho' I know not what you are,

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Twinkle, twinkle little star’ is such a familiar rhyme for children, that we often forget the fact that it has a named author – Jane Taylor (1783-1824). The charm and originality of ‘The Star’ surely lies in Jane Taylor’s ability to express a tenderness in the relationship between mother and baby as they look at the night sky together.

BINTANG

Oleh Jane Taylor (1806)

Twinkle, twinkle, bintang kecil,

Bagaimana saya bertanya-tanya apa Anda!

Di atas dunia begitu tinggi,

Seperti sebuah berlian di langit.

Ketika matahari terik hilang,

Ketika dia tidak ada yang bersinar,

Maka Anda menunjukkan sedikit cahaya Anda,

Twinkle, twinkle, sepanjang malam.

Lalu trav'ller dalam kegelapan,

Terima kasih atas percikan kecilmu,

Dia tidak bisa melihat ke mana harus pergi,

Jika Anda tidak bersinar begitu.

Di langit biru gelap yang Anda jaga,

Dan sering melalui tirai gorden saya,

Karena kamu tidak pernah menutup matamu,

Sampai matahari ada di langit.

Ini percikan terang dan kecilmu,

Menyalakan trav'ller dalam kegelapan:

Tho 'Aku tidak tahu siapa kamu,

Twinkle, twinkle, bintang kecil.

*(My) Revised Version

BINTANG

Oleh Jane Taylor (1806)

Kelap-kelip bintang kecil

Betapa ku ingin tahu seperti apa dirimu
Jauh tinggi di angkasa
Indah bagai permata

Saat terik matahari sirna

Dan tak terlihat lagi
Kau datang bersinar terang
Menerangi sang malam

Pelancong tersesat dalam kegelapan

Terima kasih atas percikan mungil mu
Mereka tak akan tau kemana harus melangkah
Bila kau tak menyinarinya

Dalam gelap langit malam kau berjaga

Dan kadang mengintip melalui tirai jendela
Kau tak pernah terpejam
Sampai matahari terbit keesokannya 

Sinar dan percikan-percikan kecilmu

Menerangi pelancong di malam hari
Meskipun ku tak tahu seperti apa dirimu
Kelap-kelip bintang kecil ku

I (A SHORT POEM, REPRESENTATIVE OF ME)

I

Written by: AsriJMegita

I

One capital letter drawn by a single line

I 

One vowel letter exists in 'independent' and 'fine'

I 

One needle-like letter

little prickly but steady

unattractive yet necessary

How does 'delight' sound without I?

No one can define I

for I does not only mean a pronoun

for I is an abstract letter

for I is complex and

for I is not enough to be described

in one poem 

(Dare to analyze this poem?) 😉

*A haiku in English is a very short poem in the English language, following to a greater or lesser extent the form and style of the Japanese haiku. A typical haiku is a three-line observation about a fleeting moment involving nature.

NOTHING BUT A FRIEND

Once upon a time

There was you and me

A boy and a girl

Who was talking like the way we used to be

He looked at me deeply and

My heartbeat was getting loudly

We both laughed under the blue sky

Imaging our dreams till the clouds cry

He said he would remember me and

She thought it was better to die than not to see him again

But suddenly we both cursed

A cursed that separate us in a far far land

She even not had time to say sorry and

He ran out of time to answer her worry

But I am okay, for you used to be my bestfriend

Until I woke up from my dreamland
