To complete the requirement of Professional Practice assignment which is blog, the lecturer gives the students choices between freelance job as a graphic designer or doing competition.
Then, the lecturer gives us one competition which that the student can follow.
There are four categories of competition, such as Photography, Poster Drawing, Creative Writing and Animation.
From four categories, I chose Creative Writing competition. It is because, I want to explore my skills and my hobby, although I'm a graphic designer student.

The topic of my writing is about caution board and safety. In my poem, I make the caution board as the real thing who wants to speak to other people.
This is the poem that I write for this competition:
The Caution Board
I am not a live thing, but I can be used everywhere.
Mostly, my color is yellow and I’m used for a warning on the floor.
Cleaning services are my best friend, I always help them to give caution to other people.
Wet floor is where I should stand up.
Every day, I give warning of wet floor to every pair of shoes, I take care of them, but I also take care of the wet floor.
I realize, I ‘m not a big thing, almost of people ignore my presence.
However, I always work according my task which gives warning and safety.
Even though, people ignore me, kick me accidently or they are stumbled because of me, I am still there to inform them that they need to be careful.
Without me, people don’t notice whether there is wet floor or not.
Sometimes, the floor says, “Why people and their shoes don’t realize your presence? Don’t they know that I am wet? Because of their shoes, I am dirty again!”
I don’t say anything and just smile to the floor.
Every time I am used by the cleaning service, I hope everybody is safe although they don’t notice me.
Yes, I am CAUTION BOARD!
I’m here to give warning of wet floor.
Although, they don’t notice me, I still want to save people from accident.
This competition gives me chance to write in imagination and tell people how if you become a caution board. I like doing this competition and I don't expect too much to get the reward. The most important for me is I can express my imagination in writing a short poem.
