Limerick; What a Proud to be the Part of You


Sucianik, student of State Islamic University of Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau
Riau, Indonesia
The very first step to control your world and life is control your culture. It absolutely helps in creating a better future. Believe me, a man’s ability truly strengthened by culture. Okay, I belong to a developing or maybe even it’s a poor country, but rich in culture and nature diversity.

            For instance, one of the art of my region, Riau province, Indonesia. It is about spontaneously making poem of four lines. We call it, limerick or flash poetry. When I was a child, in elementary school, my teacher, father, mother, neighbor, along invited me to say something by limerick. When we were going to swim in the river together, it is possible someone says this:
            There are a deer and bear
            Running to the border
            Who is the first to arrive there
            He’s the winner
            We laughed together. I never thought about war, although it several years happened in my country. As known, Indonesia was colonized by some countries. Until today, where ever I go. I always remember what I did several years ago, with my family and friends. Limerick helps me to creatively solve my problems. It is likely a proverb says. “You can go wherever you want, but you cannot escape yourself.” It really shapes my mind. As a result, I can make decision faster and view something by another side. It also always happens to boy or girl.
            Now, I am 21 years old. Several years living with its culture makes me feel that I am ready to do ‘something’ for my country. It has truly shaped my life. I often talk to my friends by using limerick. It makes many people laugh. So we are happy. We share ideas each other. We increase our creativity. 
            I am proud of being Indonesian. Diversely culture makes citizen think diversely and creatively. One region has its own culture. Unique and diverse. I keep doing my best for my country, Indonesia. I start motivate my classmates and junior. Okay all of my brothers and sisters, Indonesia is really rich. We have a unique culture. Very potential country.
             Deep inside, limerick has made me increase my self-esteem. It is just a small thing in life, but really matters. People ignore it. But today, I am going to make a community, Limerick Club. Small, but valuable in life. It is improving and keeping Indonesian culture, also shaping the mental of people in it. Keep going, as I am doing now. This culture really influences and bring us to a better future. Start keeping limerick in our daily life. We love Indonesia.
