Poetry In Motion..quite literally..
I have this habit..lots of poetry come to me when i'm outside - whether it's on the bus, driving or just walking around..and it's really funny that these are usually the best lines and ideas..like the other day when i was on the bus and i was keying this into my handphone..
greener pastures, finer moments
prettier women, sinful temptations
naked bodies, not yet twenty
not yet married, not yet attached
incredible bed skills, but not a perfect match..
and i wasn't even sitting beside a pretty girl! but the sad thing is..i usually won't go on to complete them either because the next parts will sound weird or i'll be too lazy to key it in my handphone or write it down and by the time i get home, i'll forget the lines..one i did go on to complete however is one regarding a rainy day at a news stand..i'm still trying to improve on it though so it won't be seen too soon! =P anyway, just the other day i came up with this at my office impromptu..or something like this!!
(something my friend said that ended with -ian)
chio bu bian ah lian (beautiful girl turns ah lian)
xiang ta nan sui mian (thinking of her, hard to sleep)
qi lai, bei nian nian (wake up, blanket sticky sticky)
don't you think it makes a perfect ah beng poem? but well, my chinese sucks so i'll leave it at that =P then again, i've "left it at that" for most of these sort of poetry..poetry in motion? yeah, running from my head..
