Just before the sun goes away
I still hear the pounding sound of the drum

Indonesia Spill My Blood (Excerpt)
By: M Yamin
Sitting on the beach of the land game
four breaking waves
White foam on the loose sand
Look at the island in the green sea
Nice mountains
Surrounded by precious water it seems
Spill my blood Indonesia's name
Look at the waving coconut
The swishing sound is so faint that
Growing up on the beach divorced
Keeping the land safe is visible
listen waves come sing
Chasing mom and dad's prison
Indonesia his name. My homeland
Pasundan, October 26, 1926

Pool (Excerpt)
By: Rustam Effendi
In the middle
beautiful pool
quiet,
swimming
a gangsa.
The wings are white
clear hair,
clear eyes
like island
slender neck
junjang
looking at
water mirror.
The pool is quiet
the water is still,
quiet
no rustling

Early in the morning
By: M Yamin
Teja and the fluff are still scintillating,
Dim the glorious star;
To fade into the light,
Emerge and sink again and again.
The dawn in the east is approaching,
Bringing gems upon the world;
noble rhyme series,
Various colors, criss-cross.
Gradually and dress up,
The sun rises slowly;
Illuminate the earth with beauty.
All flowers smell pandan,
Open flower, good composition;
Wetted with dam, point on the branch.
There are various kinds of poetry based on their form. Thank you.
