Random moments of candour

So whilst I was in school, I kept having random 'moments of candour' . Like I'd just be sitting there and all of a sudden I'd feel a sudden strong urge to write. Basically, over my five-month stay in school, I did a lot of scribbling here and there, penning down my thoughts as randomly as they came, with the hope of blogging them once I had the chance to. So yeah, the next few, or not so few, blogs are in no particular order, and are stuff that I 'blogged' while away.

Still thinking of a title...

Small wonder. I found the attempt of a poem I wrote about a year ago as a submission to the Editorial Board of my school. Of course, I never submitted it. Note my sucky attempt at trying to rhyme. Here goes nothing...Literally :

" Hugs. That warm envelope that engulfs you when overcome by emotion.
  Inspired by wonder, nostalgia, joy, I cannot grasp its notion. 
  So powerful a tool of communication, just one can speak volumes.
  To try and fathom the feelings they convey, I tell you friend is no use.
   I love you, I miss you, I want you, I need you, all sayings balled up in one hug.
   The comfort this envelope offers you, I daresay is more than that of a rug.
   It means so much to a fellow man when you decide to give one
   So bright the aura it gives off, it almost competes with the sun.
   A smile, a laugh, a tear, a pat are nothing a hug compared to.
   Because with hugs its easy to say basically anything all the way through.
   So give someone a hug today, to portray that feeling inside.
   A big bear hug be ready to give, just open your arms up wide."
   The End.

Wow. That's obviously too much premium placed on a hug eh. Talk about emotional.
