THE FLY

Little fly

Thy summers play,

My thoughtless hand

Has brushed away

Am not I

A fly like thee?

Or art not thou

A man like me?

For a dance

And drink and sing

Till some blind hand

Shall brush my wing.

If thought is life

And strength and breath;

And the want

Of thought is death;

Then am I

A happy fly,

If I live,

Or if I die.

Comment :

I think this poem is very good because the story lyric not and verbiage continue, besides the poem is also easy to be understood, comprehend and digested, groove the poem according to I also very good. The title is also hardly simple and easy to be understood, comprehended by me and possible also others, because title only one word that is fly. And the story nor digress from the title becoming this poem only narrate one topic that is fly. And this poem also in character shortened, clearly and compact, what facilitating I to comprehend this poem and understand content which written in this poem better although not yet too perfection but the purposes and objectives InsyaAllah I can understand.

What is given by God that is which I experiencing patiently and full of temptation and challenge. Although I have ever experienced is people taking a fancy to I but in life of me, I have never regretted if is people liking but I considering to be temptation and I also have to arrest; detain itself so that I frown upon it with in. and don't complicate the problem. And assume this problem as problem of big not because every man surely experienced and answer to him with different each mind. So fair that in human life.
