RACHEL DE SILVA

HELLO!

so econs test today was some case study, not what i expected. but, yah, just wrote some stuff about resources&PPC&what not in awfully large handwriting.

then went for what i thought were dance auditions, but actually they were looking for people to dance for SYF this year. it's quite fun to go back to dancing again, so i will continue going for the dance lessons on wednesdays. (:

ok now for the most important part of the day- POEM.
inspired by the poem "Valentine" by Carol Ann Duffy, the literature students of OG2 (actually only Amelia, Yvonne&I) wrote a poem, full of meaning for all you artsy people to interpret. remember, every word is a deliberate choice.

Not an onion or a banana,
I give you a chilli.
It's tender seeds of love encased within
fiery disguise.
It's fierce hue promises passion
It's sensual taste lingers on the tip of my tongue,
Ever soft, ever possessive.
It is a crescent on fire
That blazes amidst the dark velvet of night
A shining light
Guiding star.
Forgive my blatant honesty.
Not a watermelon or a papaya,
My love is measured not by sheer volume
But by burning intensity
Raging desire.
Nah!*
I give you not a single crimson chilli
But an entire prranntation**
For its pungent aroma will seep through your skin,
Your heart.
-Raolas Von Melia
*singlish for "take it"
**allusion to our Econs teacher
