Poem Performance

On Sunday, 12 March 2006, Bonardo and I had to take part in a poem performance on launching occasion of a poem anthology. We were invited to read a poem in front of a Dutch Minister and a lot of people.

I was surprised when I came there. I had never thought about it before. But I remained confident. There were some Dutch kids joined the poem performance, like us. They read poems, too. Each of us, Bonardo and I read a poem with a guitar cadence. I went there on foot walking from Andrey’s house, a schoolmate of mine.

It was held in a gallery which was near the Andrey’s house. I went there with Mr. Nirwan (our school principal), Bonardo’s parents, Ucok, Ifan, and Andrey.

When we finished reading the poems, the audience gave us a big applause. We were happy after reciting the poems. We were feeling so proud.

After that, we came to the anthology’s author to say goodbye. We got a book from him. An anthology of poem is a good book for me. We thanked the author, and then we went home. It was a good experience to me.
