The poet in me ;)

It was about 40 degrees Celsius outside when I got off the bus, “rolling in the”… heat. Long before, I found myself in a lovely small garden in front of a university right near the bus stop. Tall trees (shades), some kinds of unknown wildflowers, neatly trimmed grass… My mind got a breath of fresh air thanks to just a-few-step walk in this garden (the reason why I couldn’t linger is that I was “conscious” enough to catch sight of the bus which will take me home approaching). On the way home, that short yet pleasant moment “haunted” me and I, as a result, came up with an impromptu poem. Truth be told, this is the first time I have had such kind of literary inspiration! I like writing prose, but I have failed many times trying to come up with a poem.

I think it will be not fair to tell you all about how my first English poem came into existence then refuse to show you the poem :P OK, to avoid being labeled “mean”, I will show you my “masterpiece” ;)

"In this damn hot weather
The tree gives me a shelter
To escape from the temperature
I feel happier than ever
Oh thank you, Mother Nature!"

One thing I must confess after all is: In fact, on my way home, I could only think of two or three lines of poem and some words to fit in the rhyme. Not until a few minutes ago when I composed the draft of this note did I finish the rest of the poem :P
--> Conclusion: I have no gift in writing poem, so don’t ask me for more until another poetic thing catches my eyes :)
