It's Summer

It's summertime, like a wheel you heat the moist of a flavor beneath the steam of bubbly clouds... and it is so mysteriously delightful: to be swallowed by the glide of a northern breeze which simply accepts all the glittering shells and ocean graffiti woven on the fabric of a night-scape absolute, unabbreviated… how a mantle of adventure props on ruffles of gaiety amidst a thousand fireflies, that all minstrel stars collapse never ever the same each time! ...............

Haaay Hunyo na pero parang hello summer pa din! Ang iniiiit! Grabe! pero yung tula mo rito ay maganda, Nette-- hitik sa larawan ng tag-init-- mahusay ka talaga magpinta gamit ang salita! Pagbigyan mo na-- bilang kinagat ako ng lamok na Pinoy na Pinoy--- kabute lang-- sana ay nasa mabuti kang kalagayan-- heto ako, pasukan na naman. Ingat ka lagi at salamat sa pagdalaw-- sya nga pala, si Leonora nagsasabi ay nangangamusta daw sa iyo.

Life can be just so much fun when someone like you expresses it as such a wonderful bunch of experiences. It is always just a bit different as our perceptions change. I personally think your wisdom explains what happens to us as we age.

Even though it's free verse, you sustain a hidden rhythm within which provides a certain symmetry. Your outstanding phrasing and imagery make this a pleasure to read and review! BRAVO Nette!! Best wishes, Keith
