Assalaamu 'alaikum, Guys! Do you like poem or poetry? Make it, read it or analysis it? Do you know there is contest from one of blogger now? After researching on the Ririe Khayan's poems label, I found a poem called "The True Friend". It's short and easy to understand so I chose it to write a short analysis. Can you look through what I have and give me some advice?

One again! She didn't say in the rule, wheather must use Bahasa Indonesia. Then 'cause this poem in English, so I will analysis one in English too.

I consider you have been read this poem, so let's we check 'n recheck together! ;-)

This poem is meaningful yet simplistic and easy to understand. Literally, Ririe Khayan wrote about The True Friend, the one who's coming in the door while everyone else is going out, who love you when you're hard to love. I know She posted this poem, a day after She met some friends from blogger at Jakarta. When her real friend there aren't in her sides. Then the friends from unreal world come her in the real world. So, She wrote the happiness together in the poem. Ouwhh, so sweet....!! ;-)

Ririe Khayan explains this poem she "lend" from her FB's inbox. Do you know that words in the poem was took from popular people's quotes?

The first paragraph is quotes from Phillip Calvin McGraw best known as Dr. Phil. He is a psycologist from US. [m.wikipedia.com]

The second paragraph is words said by Orville Wright to her brother, Wilbur Wright. Both are plane machine inventor from US. [100 People's Book] Often I found in the wedding invitation letter. Where's the Man call his Woman as friend like Orville called Wilbur as friend too. In the everything and anything.

However, in my opinion, Ririe Khayan just to try represents a beautiful friendship that all people are yearning for. The poem hence portrays Ririe's feels and optimism in the beauty of life. Writing for her friends, She might wanna show them that they are more valuable things in the world. Through her words, Ririe offered their insight by sharing her optimism. Nothing eternity, whatever will happen, but the friendship can be everything. Ririe Khayan was a religious and spiritual writer. She as a believer, knew that very well.

Next, I sure to know that the last paragraph is herself mind. Honest, amazing 'n I do like it! ;-)

Rie, 'em so sorry for all those I write if you disagree with me. Happy Blogging 'n Keep On Fire!

Wassalaam... :-)
