ENTRY 5: Poem From a Photo


Identify the image: 
A man takes a rest in a meadow on the opening day of Oktoberfest on September 20, 2014.

Identify the reality you want to change
in this photo, this man was one of member who took part in this beer festival. Under this background, the man should hold a relatively happy emotion and take a nap on the grass after the stirring moments he enjoyed on the festival. But in my poem, I want to transform it into a sad story.

Identify the how you will change:
In this photo, this man lowering down his head on his hands to have a rest. But actually we hardly see his facial expression from our view. So in my poem, rather than taking a rest, I would describe this man is crying for the regret of what he has lost.


Alcohol
by Luna

Life is dipped into the alcohol,
Fuzzy and dazed.
He lowered his head down, alone,
refused the past reluctant to recall.

Looming smile, approaching chuckle  
The definition of happiness was noiselessly stolen.
A life is choosen by himself,
hot, fervent he thought,
cold, cruel he felt.

He postpones all the answers 
already in his eyes.
He hides behind his own back 
to continue life.
He chase after jollification 
once ruined himself.

Luckily, 
he stops the moment 
with a cups of alcohol,
spilling from his wrinkled eyes,
benumbing his face that ever with a smile.
