What You Ask
What you ask
Is not always
what you’re
comfortable with
What you need
Never easy
But you deserve it
So try to get it
What you care about
Always too small for others
Always too big than real
Unless you start doing it

Sebuah anekdot.
Tentang seorang gadis kecil
yang mendatangi makam kakeknya
dan menulis surat yang isinya,
“Dear Grandpa, I wanted to be with you longer. But you died.”
II
Ini sebuah ironi
ketika gadis kecil itu menyadari
kakeknya adalah ayahnya.
Ada nggak ya drama kehidupan seperti ini… Menantu, yang diam-diam dihamili oleh ayah mertuanya sendiri. 
Tragis pasti.
Hujan
Hujan
Hujan bergemuruh
Meski berpeluh
Penatku luruh
Jiwamu sembuh
Hadeh saya nggak tahu siapa yang paling tersiksa, apakah saya atau yang baca, karena blog ini jadi banyak banget puisi-puisi geje dan jelek karena nggak ada ide postingan lain. 
Malam ini pun masih puisi-puisian dalam rangka Napowrimo. Pendek aja deh, badan saya masih berasa belum nyaman betul karena masalah perut.
Kalo cerita perut saya memang gampang gassy alias masuk angin dan sebangsanya. Gara-garanya makan urap nih tadi. Gas dari sayuran yang tercerna ngumpul di dalem bikin sensasi mual dan pusing.
Akhirnya saya paksain minum air putih biar muntah. Kalo cuma sakit-sakit ringan seperti ini saya males nurutin, jadi dipaksain minum air banyak-banyak biar langsung muntah, trus biasanya lebih plong deh. Walau tetep, nenggak obat macem-macem seperti paramex dan antangin jrg.
Sekarang lagi hujan dengan syahdunya. Mudah-mudahan bikin badan, pikiran dan perut jadi nyaman kembali…
Semoga pada sehat semuanya biar bisa berwiken ria besok… 
Yuk mari.
Lingsir Wengi
Lingsir Wengi
Lingsir wengi sliramu tumeking sirno
I tap shakingly on my keyboard
The vibe is strangling and short
Don’t come to me tonight, I pray my Lord
Ojo tangi nggonmu guling
Dream with your eyes open
Ancient light will be darken
Courage will carry your burden
Awas jo ngetoro, aku lagi bang wingo wingo
Your steps I hear
Your wide eyes I fear
Long white hair, ears of deer
Jin setan kang tak utusi
Dadyo sebarang
Ojo lelayu sebet
You come appear tonight
The chant has come out right
As you laugh the night out
and take away my blood
Selamat malam Jum’at. Kiikikikk…-ughughk-ughughk!!
Creating Believable Characters
Creating Believable Characters
The first step to creating characters that are believable is to understand what makes a person who they are.
As Larry Brooks so perfectly details in his eBook, The Three Dimensions of Character, there are three things that make up who you are (and who your characters are):
- Surface Traits, Quirks and Habits
- Backstory and Inner Demons
- Action, Behavior and World View

Bacaan singkat tapi nolong banget nih buat ngembangin tulisan fiksimu.
Selamat menulis. 
[Fiksi] Reggie’s Plunged Off His Boat
Write a story that ends with ” and everything was over for both of them “?
Finally, he’s gonna do it. Reggie sneaked out and got in his father’s boat. He spent the whole night trying to catch that giant silver blue marlin.
At dawn, the rope over the side of the boat rattled. Reggie grabbed it and put it over his shoulder and pulled as hard as he could. His heart pounded, his throat filled with cold air and was sore.
The boat under his feet was struck by something below the water. The boy picked up the harpoon and aimed the sharp point to a silver line on the back of the mighty fish. He shot once. Again and it went through the silver blue marlin’s tail.
Before he realised what was happening, Reggie plunged into the cold ocean as the giant marlin swam into the deep. The boy wouldn’t let it go as he tightened his grip to the rope. The giant marlin swished its tail and took a turn. Reggie’s body was thrown to one side like a mere doll and then hit a tall hard cliff. The boy passed out under water. The giant silver blue marlin kept swimming to the rock bottom, and to its death as blood kept coming from its tail.
And everything was over for both of them.
Pertemanan
Pertemanan
Terkadang pertemanan itu
Ketika kita bersebelahan
Tapi kita merasa berjauhan
Lalu bertemu dan melepas kangen
Dan saat itu kita baru menyadari
Bahwa seorang teman tak pernah kemana-mana
Jarak hanyalah komunikasi
dan kadang kesulitan memahami situasi
Tapi hati tetap hangat dibawah sana
Merindukan
Mengasihi
Dan akhirnya…
Menyentuhkan ujung kaki pada lutut kawan
Dan memainkan alis jenaka
Dan tertawa bersuka
Seolah untuk selamanya
Siapa saja teman baikmu? Sudahkah menyapa mereka hari ini?
For A Few Words
For A Few Words
For a few words I’ve spoken
They became a knife to myself
more than to anybody else
And it’s not that I’m double-sided or triple
Everybody has a fluctuative hundred
Each for a closer distance between us
And I have a problem
You have a problem
I’m not too proud of it for once
And it may not always be delighting
to take one from an unhealthy mind
And I have my concerns to ditch places
Ones I hope you see now light-heartedly
And finally, please forgive my life
World Book and Copyright Day
Hari ini hari..ya, hari buku dan copyright.
23 April is a symbolic date for world literature for on this date in 1616, Cervantes, Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died. It is also the date of birth or death of other prominent authors such as Maurice Druon, Haldor K.Laxness, Vladimir Nabokov, Josep Pla and Manuel Mejía Vallejo.
It was a natural choice for UNESCO’s General Conference, held in Paris in 1995, to pay a world-wide tribute to books and authors on this date, encouraging everyone, and in particular young people, to discover the pleasure of reading and gain a renewed respect for the irreplaceable contributions of those who have furthered the social and cultural progress of humanity. In this respect, UNESCO created both the World Book and Copyright Day and the UNESCO Prize for Children’s and Young People’s Literature in the Service of Tolerance.
Buku apa yang sedang/terakhir kali kamu baca?
Mengajimu
Mengajimu
Lantunan polos dan lantangmu
Semangat belajar dan mampumu
Dalam 30 menit dudukmu
Di hadapan kitab suci bersampul emasmu
Mengajimu melembutkan desir darahku
Melengkapi ringan keraguanku
Menjadi rentetan kagum dan damaiku
Mengajimu menenangkan hatiku
Seneng liat anak-anak masih rajin ngaji tiap malem dari Senin-Jum’at. Si Dimas masih Iqra, tapi Insya Allah udah makin lancar bacanya dari sebelum-sebelumnya. Bang Bagus mengaji lantang membaca Al-Qur’an-nya. Bikin kekosongan udara malam jadi nggak sia-sia (aseek..). Jadi nggak cuma dengerin sinetron di TV hehe.
