Mayuki-What is a poem?
What is life? A baby coming out of a mother’s belly and seeing the world for the first time, a chicklet cracking the egg shell with all its might and plants growing everyday- one day becoming a tree.
What is death? The wildfire killing the poor trees and animals, ants killed by humans’ feet and the cows and sheep soon to be eaten as a dinner.
What is new? A new start at a new school, brand new shoes from Adidas and Crispy Creams making a new doughnut recipe.
What is old? Your grandparents forgetting your name and how old you are, dinosaurs that does not even exist anymore and turtles living for a very long time by moving slowly.
What is soft? A bird’s feather falling from the sky like a white snow, a baby’s hand so fragile that you have to be careful when touching it and my puppy’s feather falling out and growing again.
What is hard? A house built with bricks and concrete, an enormous rock which is twice the size of a human and steel bars almost invincible to anything.
