Terjemahan Puisi Anak (I & II)

Sebelum tidur, saya mencoba lagi menerjemahkan puisi anak-anak dari penulis yang berbeda. Puisi anak pertama dan kedua yang saya coba terjemahkan ditulis oleh Kate Miller-Wilson dan Lewis Carroll (salah satu karyanya yang terkenal adalah Alice's Adventures in Wonderland). Selamat membaca, kawan!


Sepatuku yang Hilang - Kate Miller-Wilson

 

Aku mencarimu dari pintu masuk,

Di bawah dipan, di lantai kamar mandi,

Di dekat tangga rahasia, di dalam laci yang menyimpan berbagai kaos kaki,

Di sebelah meja, bahkan di luar bak pasir.

Bundaku memanggi-manggilmu, begitu pun aku.

Pergi kemanakah kau, wahai sepatuku yang hilang?



Si Buaya - Lewis Carroll


Betapa seekor buaya mungil

Lihai membesut buntutnya hingga berkilauan,

Dan membasuhnya dengan air dari Sungai Nil

Pada takaran yang begitu pas!

Betapa ia menyeringai dengan riangnya!

Betapa ia dengan teraturnya melebarkan cakar,

Dan menyambut ikan-ikan kecil terperangkap

Dalam senyum lembut di mulutnya!



Teman-teman dapat mengakses naskah puisi tersebut pada https://examples.yourdictionary.com/10-fun-short-poems-for-kids-to-learn.html 

Delapan puisi lainnya akan saya terjemahkan di lain waktu. Tabik!

The Awakening of New Energy

This one week, my mind buzzed. I know I had a lot to express. I always feel the urge to talk to people and barely know when to stop. I love creating world with words. Words are playground to me. Sometime I could slide, hop, roll forward, slither, or simply sit and watching people passing by. It's not a bout fun, but it's the awareness of creating more and more. I will try to invest 1 hour each day to write, to think, to get lost, to be found, to express, and write again. Over and over. I hope there will be more people connect and read me. Insya Allah 🤍

Choices

There will always be the first time for everyone. The first time to hear, the first time to feel, the first time to move, the first time to breathe and cry, the first time to drink, the first time to eat, the first time to respond, the first time to play, the first time to play together and solve the very own problem, the first time to enter school, the first time to teach, the first time to talk and engage with numerous audience, the first to be and do anything. . .till it becomes one day. . .the thing that was hard and challenging, could become a piece of cake. It takes courage, it takes sweat and tears, it takes sleepless nights, it takes restless days, it takes commitment, it takes everything. Maybe it takes your happiness away either. It may seem scary and it may seem crazy. It requires self and stress management. I always have choices amongst these options. I commence to reflect. Back then, I love to  compare people, wether it would be worth it or not at all. I compare A to B...

The Most Precious Thing

To my fiancé, thank you for being a strong man even when hard times still hit that hard. Your 'cegil' is so proud of you. Dear Dadda K, to be with you has taken me to love myself more. Thank you for being gentle and listening to me and us. I have never felt less as a woman because I finally found my real power. Through the peaks and valleys, through the lengthy journey, I do believe the right train will never pass us by. In this horse year, let's be more kind to each other. Let kindness be the beginning of our story. Dear Daddy K, there were moments I might be afraid of losing us. The worries somehow spiraling. At the end I have to decide and take an action of not letting the hassle consuming me more. The peace, positivity, and tenderness are greater. This morning I looked at myself through the mirror. I asked, "who is this girl I see?" It instantly brought me back to you. I am loved, and your actions are the living proof. It's not only a love letter. I wrote ...
