"group yourselves into four for our activity for today." our teacher in literature said as my classmates started forming into groups.
jihye approached me and dragged hoseok and one nerd guy classmate. she probably took him because that guy is smart. i secretly looked at jimin who's in the group of girls and seems to be annoyed. hah, serves him right.
"each member of the group will give a random noun. it could be anything. please write down each word the member gives."
"i'll write." i said in our group.
"mine's pen." jihye said.
"book?" hoseok suggested.
"i thought you're going to say pineapple." jihye whispered which i can still hear. it took me few seconds before realizing it was the pineapple pen pun.
"house." the nerd one said.
and for me, i put 'love' because why not?
"are you all done writing down the words?" as soon as all of us has the words, the teacher spoke again, "now, make a poem with those words. i'll give you half an hour to make one then after that, have a representative in each group to recite your poem. you may start now."
"what the..." hoseok just sighed, giving us a warm smile.
"how are we supposed to make a poem in just half an hour? my mind is blank right now, oh my gosh."
"we can do it." the nerd said.
while they're having a chat, i'm starting to make a poem in my mind. but before they finished their talk, i write my poem in a piece of paper. we only have 30 minutes to make a poem, why are we wasting time with just chatting?
i just finished writing it down as they finished their so-called-meeting.
"it's done." i handed them the paper.
"what?" jihye asked.
"the poem, it's finished." hoseok grabbed the paper and after they're done reading it, they just all gave me a "bitch-how-the-fuck-did-you-do-that" look.
"that was nice but what the hell is that on the end?" jihye laughed.
"i can't think of any." i chuckled as i passed the paper to the teacher.
"are you serious about using that poem?" the nerd snickered. i just rolled my eyes.
and all of the groups were finished making poems, the teacher started calling the representative of each group.
jimin's group were called and he's the one who'll recite it.
"you caught me like a bird in a cage.
you flowed like a boat in the waves.
you lit up like the moon at night.
it's you who i want to like."
so one stanza is allowed? okay, i never thought of that, but it's kinda nice.
"can you please explain your group's poem?" the teacher asked.
"my groupmates made it and it's all about making you feel something new and badly want to like that person freely." oh, wow.
"okay, thank you." after that, our group was called so i walked in front and started reciting my poem, yes, it's MY poem.
"i saw a pen in your hand,
you're writing with all you can.
staring at your face in grand,
i'm afraid that you will run.
quiet as the water flows,
reading books in the corner.
saw your eyes wanting to close,
i'm scared, i left a flower.
now that you are walking down,
i approached you happily.
received nothing but a frown,
hey, why are you not friendly?
in the rooftop, there's a dove,
in window, i saw your house.
in sky, there are birds above,
in you, there's love, be my spouse."
"that was good, ms. eunjung, please explain the poem."
"i can't explain it, the explanation is already in the poem itself." i smiled then went back my seat.
"now i just realized, was that poem for park jimin?"
"shut up, i'm still mad at him." i laughed.
