A book review - Poem (Not good this time)

As everyone knows, I love making poems as book reviews- and luckily, this week's skill focus is to write a book review!! Here we go~ (But sadly, the poem this time is not good)


<Bridge to Terabithia>

Seoin Lim

When one is isolated

When one is full of hatred of the world

When one is sad and lonely

When one is solitary


Oh, what does a helping hand do?


When I stand outside

Meeting the cold air

When I run all the way down the hill

As a dagger pierces my heart


Oh, what does a helping hand do?


When the east wind blows

And I hear a distant howl of a wolf

Someone passes me

In the darkness


No, she was not passing

She was coming toward me

Why, that has never happened before!

For how can I be seen?


The stranger holds out her hand

And smiles

I shake my head left and right

This has got to be a dream


But is it a dream?

I feel a warm breeze passing by

It feels so real

It feels so solid


The stranger is still holding out her hand

Should I grasp it?

Times when I got fooled

I can remember it so well


When I, too, extract my hand from my pocket

To hold out the hand

A birch tree seems to grow in my heart

As my hand is inches from her hand-


Bang!


Oh, why had they had to take away my hand now?

Why hasn’t it waited for a second longer?

When I have finally seen a helping hand?

Why, why, why?


Let us feel sorrow

For the downfall of hope

The fall of happiness

The death of the twinge of joy


For they will never appear again

For they will be gone

For they have been burned to ashes

By unlucky tragedy


But don’t worry, don’t worry

A new plant is sprouting

New fresh leaves are born

Healthily growing


When you have lost one

You will gain one

For that is nature

For that is life
