Pantun

Hi! Today we'd like to share a pantun made by Syuhaidah  (ᵔ.ᵔ) 

Terangnya bulan menghiasi angkasa,
Bintang berkerlipan bukannya maya,
Wujudnya adat berbilang bangsa,
Saling hormati jadikan budaya.

The pantun above is basically emphasizing the significance of mutual respect in a culturally-diverse community.

What is a pantun?  (￣︿￣)

Pronounced as 'pan-ton', it is the Malay poetic form in which each line contains words that rhyme at the end of each sentence. The words at the end of Line 1 and Line 3 should have the same rhyme. This also applies to the words at the end of Line 2 and Line 4. Henceforth, the rhyming pattern should be (a-b-a-b).

In a pantun, only Line 3 and Line 4 carry the meanings that we want to convey, while Line 1 and Line 2 are only complementary parts (think of them as accessories ♡). 


Yours truly,
Atirah & Syuhaidah
