inside a watermelon,
a populous city
with a day and two moons,
a street of portmanteau word runs
in front of my house,
the brunch
becomes
breakfast and lunch

Why do you like to write poetry?
“I write poetry to discover and learn the world inside and outside me. My father writes and reads mostly poetry. He tells us all the things happening in a poem. He shows us photographs and lives of poets. I have developed an interest in poetry and literature. I cannot sit down waiting and watching. That’s why I write poems to amuse myself, making a poetry book to be part of the countless poetry books in the house.”
