Russian Poem : Vladimir Mayakovsky "Morning"

Hellooo :) , my first blog haha. Sebenernya sih udah dari SMP punyak blog, tapi baru sekarang kepikiran buat nge-post sesuatu heheh. Ok, langsung point aja dehh. Karena 2 minggu lalu kebagian presentasi puisi ini dan buat nyari referensi versi Indonesianya susah banget. Kayaknya emang belum ada yang ngepost puisi Rusia ini hehe. Because of that, aku tulis aja tuh puisi disini, kali aja kan nanti ada yang butuh gitu :) . Then, check it out!

Puisi ini menceritakan tentang pengalaman si penulis, dimana pada tahun 1912 di Moscow, social status kaum proletar atau low class dikontrol oleh kaum borjuis atau high class. Sehingga, Vladimir menulis puisi ini untuk menentang keadaan itu. Disisi lain, puisi ini juga untuk seorang wanita yang dicintainya, Maria, tapi wanita ini tidak mencintainya dan memilih pria lain dari kalangan kaum borjuis. Nahh, itu adalah inti puisi nya. di bawah ini teks puisi aslinya yang aku copy paste dari PDF Vladimir Mayakovsky Poem.
