morning/ to everyone/ present here; the honourable judges/, respected teachers/, and our dear friends./ My name is/ Asna Madiha binti Anas/ and my name is/ Nurin Aisha binti Ahmad Firdaus./ Today, /we’re exceedingly proud/ to recite a poem./ The title of the poem/ is My First Memorable Experience/ of Camping. It has been written /by our teachers. Been ages/ I have longed /for a camping trip, To harmonize/ with the sounds /of mother nature.. Melodious birdsongs,/ chirping crickets,/ squeaking squirrels/ And even/ the buzzing bees.. As I walk/ through the woods,/ The trees/ stand tall, Ready/ to greet us,/ the ~wind~ blowing… And the ~long~ ~green~~ grass/ dancing/ and waving at us,/ So breezy/ and fresh/. To see/ the river/ ~flows~ freely, To enjoy/ the sounds of its babbles…/ Aaah/ how calming/ and relaxing…/ Such an endless/ tranquility/ I have been longing,/ To spend my night/ in a tent,/ In a sleeping sack/ with a lantern/ beside me…./ I have been wanting,/ To sit ~around~ a campfire~, With a maple stick,/ Roasting marshmallows,/ Singing/ our favourite songs../ Telling/ ~spooky~ stories.. And/ we will play… our all time/ favourite games.. Of truth/ and dare, Charades/ and heads up And even /treasure hunt How exciting and thrilling/ Theres going to be /a lot of ~fun~, full of laughters/ and giggles, The best joy/ of ~all~ joys with family/ and friends around/ Bringing us all/ closer together Been ages/ I have ~longed~/ for a camping trip, Watching the sky, Stargazing… Hoping/ for a shooting star, As I ~lie~/ on the grass. A very close rendesvous /with the nature, Cracking sounds/ of the woods, Jarring noise/ of the mosquitoes, Catching /fireflies…. I would ~love~ to gather firewoods, Burn them up, Into a roaring fire, Brightening the forest… The ~dark~ night. I am going /to bring a rod, Cast it/ into the river/ for some fish, Catch ~them~, Wash ~them~, Grill ~them~ And eat them up ~And~/ it was a ‘dream come true’… Here/ I am/ on my ~little~ adventure, My very first time/ on a camping ground. That’s all from us. Thank You.
