Many The Miles


There's too many things I haven't done yet
Too many sunsets I haven't seen

Unlined


like my mind and yours
splattering on paper with colors
curved asymmetrically

Life


DeviantART

Gadis Boneka

Siapa kau?
Dalam bingkai terpantul dua mata cokelat
Bergetar hampa
Saat semua retak, hancurlah dia

Si gadis boneka
Berceloteh riang gembira
Menari di atas awan
Seolah dia bebas, terbang di angkasa

Tapi itu hanya alunan teater
Awan dari Styrofoam
Angkasa dari besi
Dan temali bening merantainya

Oh, dia tidak sadar,
Si gadis boneka terlalu buta untuk melihat
Panggung sandiwara di sekelilingnya
Tempat dia mengangkat dagunya tinggi ke udara

Sampai kemudian semuanya kacau,
Sandiwara belum selesai namun dia bangun dari mimpi
Berteriak dan menjerit meretakkan cermin-cermin
Menggapai terus menggapai langit palsu di sangkarnya

Dan dia jatuh
Tali itu begitu transparan hingga hilang jadi debu
Dan gadis boneka
Retak, hancur di lantai kelabu

Matanya bergerak-gerak menatap hancur dirinya
Tidak tersisa, di cermin bukan lagi gadis boneka
Dia siapa?
Apa siapa?

Mengail harga diri bonekanya
Yang putus bersama temali
Oh, betapa ingin dia merangkak
Dari kurungan besi

Di kurungan besi, langit berwarna biru
Hijaunya hutan, lembutnya awan
Dunia khayal indah, panggung gadis boneka
Dan kami, mengawasi gadis boneka yang retak tanpa daya

Kehilangan jati dirinya.

nulis ini beberapa waktu lalu dan akhirnya dikasih buat tugas Bahasa Indonesia gue (semua anak kelas 12 harus bikin puisi).
agak-agak horor ternyata. :P

ceritanya tentang hancurnya identitas seseorang yang digambarkan dalam bentuk 'boneka'. hahaha...


Review: The Spook's Apprentice

Book 1 of The Wardstone Chronicles or The Last Apprentice
by Joseph Delaney
Revenge of The Witch


Rating: 5 out of 5

I'm glad I read this book in my lifetime.
too much in my mind *confused*.


okay, to sort things out, first the characters.

Tom Ward is a simple boy. he doesn't know anything about the real world and that, makes him more vincible in The Dark. he's lonely without his family and desperate for a friend but he learns things and he is capable to adapt in any dangerous situations though it seems more difficult with his naive mind (he's a kid after all).
I'm so want to hug this character! he's what you call it a real-life character!

Spook. I thought, the spook is more open up than other teacher-apprentice novels, like Darren Shan, but I can't blame him for being so strict.
he gives Tom a warning though he doesn't say the reason, that's a mistake to do to a kid. they won't do what their teacher asks anyway. but maybe because he doesn't know Tom well so he doesn't tell the reason and witches, is still a long way for Tom to learn.

Alice. she's torn. her aunt is abusive, yet she doesn't know how to escape. how could she anyway? her aunt is a witch! she can do anything bad to her! she doesn't have much chances.
poor her, I thought she is a good kid in a bad family.

Bony Lizzie. certainly, she cares about her grandmother. yet certainly, she doesn't care much about her niece.

Mam. mysterious? wise? okaaay...

Madam Malkin. I never expected that she stays in a (what? Pig killer?) body! but I can't help thinking how could Tom senses Madam Malkin? that guy comes to Jack's house after few days, there's not much chances Tom senses her!
plus, does Pigs eat meat?

Jack, he is an annoying older brother. I know how it feels, seriously.


The story.

it's well written, I don't even get any headaches reading this book though I read the english version and usually a fantasy novel has more difficult phrases to read.
I like how Delaney describes everything. okay, it's too hard to describe how much I love this book.

The Dark, witches, and everything fit perfectly in this book and I can't see the gaps on them either. maybe I was blinded, but whatever. I like the myth!
for some things, I imagined this book is in England, in 1600+ or so when witches are accused and everything.

there's something I can't understand, why does Tom and Spook go anywhere walking? sure, it's healthy but certainly riding horse is better and they don't have to stay so much nights in the woods.
plus, Tom goes alone to his house though it's far and he has to walk for days! if that happens to me, I'll be scared for the beast, bad guys, wild animals, or bees.

for the truth, I rarely give 5 stars for a first book in a series and I was thrilled about the next book, giving how cool this book was.
