A week later to almost surprise the farmer found and egg in his yard. This was no ordinary egg. It was a golden egg. He was suddenly overcome with joy.

Thereafter, his livelihood had rapidly improved but the farmer had forgotten his earlier hardship. He became lazy, arrogant and spendthrift.

Puisi Cinta

Cinta Di Sudut Mentari

Ciptaan : Pratiwi Tirta Sari 

Dari arah timur …
Mentari memunculkan sinar keemasannya…
Seakan tersenyum geli
Melihat perasaanku yang tak karuan ini.

Ku menatap perasaanku dengan mata hatiku
Hatiku yang terdalam mengatakan….
Kamulah yang ku inginkan….

Ku ingin mencintaimu
Tapi bukan karena keegoisanku
Ku ingin menyayangimu
Tapi bukan sebatas itu…

Hatiku terpuruk pilu
Akankah ada yang terluka bila aku mencintaimu….?????
Aku pun tak tahu….

Perasaan ini tak bisa ku tampakkan
Yang ku tahu Tuhan mengerti perasaan ini
Cintaku akan tetap bertahta
Bersama mentari yang bersinar di sudut langit…..
