= WITHOUT ME =

Of course u can live without me...
cause the air that u breathe is me...
the blood that running thru your vein is me...

I'm in you and you're in me..,
we're unseparable

so, never say you'll die without me,
cause you'll take me with you

============================

    Hati-hati, Mei...

    At first I had seriously wanted to congratulate you, since it would seem very amazing and the poem is IMHO nice for its own merit.

    But then I googled "International Open Poetry Contest."

    And found poetrynot.tripod.com.

    And Wikipedia's entry about Poetry.com.

    But Hey!

    For what its worth (FWIW), I think this poem of yours is nice. I love how it juggles between the two extremes of attachment as induced by romantic love. And how the love-bond is symbolically represented by our biological life signals (blood, breath). Among other things :)

    And one more from wockyjivvy.com, a site trying to write a poem so bad that it won't be chosen as a "semi-finalist".

    Does this mean if my poem was accepted, that my poem is BAD?
    Absolutely not. It just means your poem was accepted. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Hahaha..yeah I know!
    Completely know that, cause I got the same package years ago too,

    and they send the exact same letters to me :) But hey, since there's no more Indonesia as a country in the list, so I'm using my friend's address...

    And wonder if they actually send the same package I got years ago, then voila! YES, they sent it to my friend

    :)

    thanks dear ferdi:) for actually make the efforts to find all the information about it! I'm touched! and I'm blessed to have such a great friend like YOU!!
