So recently I decided to go out of my usual element and write a poem. A haiku to be precise, about Hong Kong. It was originally just for my own personal pleasure, then I thought it turned out decent so I put it on Facebook. Well, people seemed to like it a lot and I got an unprecedented amount of positive feedback, so I figure I'll post it here as well and see what people think. Who knows, maybe there's a secret poet hiding somewhere deep inside me after all!
The sun burns my face
But I stand still and silent
Morning Assembly
Morning alarm rings
Only one thing I desire
A hot cup of tea
A mere 10 degrees
Shivering in my own room
Hong Kong winter sucks
Wind blows cold and strong
School is becoming an igloo
Don't close the windows
Geography class
Transforming into snowmen
Windows still open
Daily fever checks
Sent home for coughing just once
Swine Flu precautions
Hand Sanitizer
Thermometers and face masks
Thanks H1N1
Minibus commute
Headache from speeding alarm
Can't wait til my stop
A suicidal driver
Won't steer, brake, yield or signal
Normal minibus
Choking on thick smog
Outdoor sports a health hazard
Hong Kong pollution
PE is cancelled
IFC hidden from sight
Mainland is to blame
MTR stations
Char siu fan and mad old folks
I'll miss you Hong Kong
Chopsticks working hard
Rice and greasy meat for lunch
I'll miss you Hong Kong
Cantonese curse words
Practice Papers in UE
I'll miss you Hong Kong
Hope you like it!

sorry just passed by and think it's interesting!
'A mere 10 degrees
Shivering in my own room
Hong Kong winter sucks' <<< It's even worse like only 6 degrees in Hong Kong! Lucky that you escaped from Hong Kong already!
