Overdue Valentine's Day Poem :D

Hey everyone! Sorry for not writing any posts for a long time, I've been quite busy with schoolwork and stuff. I have been writing poetry a bit here and there though; I just haven't found the time to actually sit down and write a post. To be honest the only reason I'm writing this post right now is because frankly, I've got nothing else to do. Well that's not true. I've got plenty of stuff to do, I just don't feel like doing any of it.

Okay so now I'm going to talk about this poem. This post is probably very overdue. Say, 3 months and 28 days overdue? For the benefit of those of you who didn't just check, Valentine's Day was 3 months and 28 days ago. That's right; you've guessed it, today's poem is going to be a Valentine's Day poem!

Without further ado...

In love with her...
By Oliver Nolastname


What was it about her that mesmerized me so?
Was it her lustrous hair, like rivers of black gold?
Or her eyes, shifting from dark brown to rich amber?
All I know for sure is that I’m in love with her…

Might it have been that pretty provocative smile,
That made my pursuit of her seem almost worthwhile?
What was it? I have absolutely no idea,
All I know for sure is that I’m in love with her...

Of course, it might have been her personality;
Nothing can hope to compare to inner beauty…
What was it? I guess it doesn’t really matter;
All I need to know is that I’m in love with her…


I'm actually really proud of this particular poem. I think it's one of, if not the best poem I've ever written. I liked the idea of having a recurring line throughout the poem, and so at the end of each quatrain I put some variation of the line "All I know for sure is that I'm in love with her...", hence the poem title, 'In love with her'.

Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

New life in a new school

Oh hey everyone! I'm writing this right after the Temasek Academy Orientation Camp, which was freaking awesome by the way. We did a whole lot of fun stuff during camp including Mass dances, which were especially awesome. Although I think I may have made myself a reputation of being over-enthusiastic ^^

Whatever.

Okay, so this sonnet is entitled "New life in a new school" and I'm not going to do a post mortem for this one because 1. I'm too lazy to write one and 2. I don't want to be over-critical on what is supposed to be a fun uplifting poem.

New life in a new school

By Oliver Nolastname

I used to be from Victoria School;

A locale where only boys used to dwell.

And when I learnt I had to start anew,

I felt that all my dreams were shot to hell…

I was to attend a new school, you see?

A school that went by the name TJC.

The leaves are at my feet, the grass is dead,

Time to wake up to TJC instead…

But then I went for orientation,

And my OG Venere was awesome

Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun

One day has ended, a new one has come

Now, it’s time for my opening debut,

Time to start a new life in a new school

Just to clarify, TJC stands for Temasek Junior College, OG for Orientation Group and Venere is the name of my group (as well for the goddess of love). Also just wanted to say that I'm really looking forward to a new year. I'm in class 1B'12, by the way, if I have any classmates reading this.

Farewell readers!
