Ode to the Flower of October 2011



Got thee on Foundation Day

Twenty-nine years our school stay



Worth to remember indeed

It must be something to heed

One year past, I was there last

But joined event, not yet must

Because on that time before

I was not yet a member



But this time can't imagine

This occasion I'm now in

Last year I was also there

CapSU-Dumarao dreamer

On that time just applying

Too Gaisano opening



Oh this flower's memorial

My bio's historical

First shake hand with Gov. Tanco

Saw Congressman Haresco



Got thee just after my lunch

At Tanco Resort – from bunch.

Ode to the Flower of June 2011



Got thee at ‘bout four-thirty

While clouds are gray & rainy –



Oh how I missed my real plan

TED Orientation was gone

Flower there must be better

Event's worth to remember

It was because of nonsense

Momentum near decadence



This time I was in hurry

So I must be not sorry

Slip not oh flower of June

Despite bad weather, there's boon

And oh I can't imagine

There's something red & glowin'



While alone in Amang Hall

A little drizzle, befall

Sitting in front computer

Door's open, saw I flower



Went out for awhile to get

Red santan bundle that's wet.

Ode to the Flower of May 2011



Got thee on twentieth May

At town hall's façade you lay –



I planned this day to get you

Possible that we can do

For Summer Class Finale

Notable activity

Related to a lesson

The Church – Social Dimension



In white t-shirt we look neat

When we were almost complete

Under the shade while we wait

For others who seemed so late

And without hesitation

Proceeded I election



Little yellow bloom I picked

From green grasses where it sticked

So far it's the tiniest

And obviously the humblest



Then we went to town's parish

That moment we should cherish!

Ode to the Flower of April 2011



Got thee at the façade

Of my father's stone abode –



This day in world history

Important for somebody

England's future king & queen

Just got their Royal Weddin'

While writing this poem of mine

They're in their reception shine



Just after watching TV

I got this white pen with me

To write this poem of this month

With flower that's not fragrant

Which I picked this afternoon

Knowing Royal Wedding's soon



That's ‘coz I'd no more reason

This month just went on and on

Without any occasion

Wherein I can attend on



So this fourth flora's unique

Like a lid, like a gimmick.

Ode to the Flower of March 2011



Got thee on so-called Lit. Day

At second Ramayan play –



Oh how this day tested me

When time came, not yet ready

8 AM our program must

Most unprepared, oh aghast

Others were out the junction

Sounds went into malfunction



Disappointed superiors

Extended out their clamors

And moved the program further

Towards a one noon after

Thanks God there's no more trial

Lit. Day flowed through its final



Proud of my BEED IV

With their guts & splendor

But when everything's over

Cendy left flower scepter



Then Lorie Jean picked it up

Saw it timely, got asap.

Ode to the Flower of February 2011



Got thee on Feb's final day

In CapSU when clouds are gray –



Got no flower before thee

On Valentine's Day must be

When my Ramayan students

On program displayed talents

Where showered they some flowers

For Rama-Sita lovers



But after presentation

My mind forgot its mission

Oh flower of February

Alas! Why you slipped from me?

Need to think another day

What'ver flower come what may



Days passed not so important

To get one I'm reluctant

Resolved to wait ‘til last day

And found one on a pathway



After logged out from admin

To lib while JS pendin!

Premium Member Niagara Falls - 2011

The rumbling, crashing, riotous falls
were like instruments intent on
singing out their percussion.
Each watery movement came in
orchestrated rhythm, appearing as
the master of the scene
yet arriving on unheard cue.

The wild and noisy disorder of the
magnificent Niagara Falls were an
ever-changing mosaic of color
that could tumble from a
box of pastels.
In the sunlight they were soft,
no matter how bright the light became,
and always just as pleasing as the
gelato that sat in our waffle cones.

We dashed for cover as the sky
turned like a woolen gray shawl
upon the rolling hills behind us.
Colors arced into a bold sky,
stretching as open hands reaching
for the sun-kissed rain.
The colors were that bit more beautiful,
like God had polished the world afresh.

And how could we begrudge
those blessed drops?
For with them came
the rainbow, the greenery,
the cheery flowers, renewed vigor and
every other slice of life we so enjoy.

*AS EYES FIRST MEET*

a glance to a kiss
with, je ne sais quois ,inside
on romance's ride

a glance to a kiss
love at first sight I suppose
why so,no one knows

a glance to a kiss
to a marriage of bliss-
something..not to miss

Premium Member Mike Parke Eulogy 2011

It is with great sadness we say goodbye.
To a truly smashing real good guy.
His name is Mike Parke who was our boss
The whole of 202 now feel lost.

He leaves behind his good lady.
The one we know simply as Kady.
Our sympathies are really with you.
From all the guys and girls from 202.

Mike you were a quality bloke.
And this sad news made us all choke.
Soldiers and Friends all alike
Wish to say farewell Mike.

As a technician you were a card
Your first lines were really hard
As a boss you were the best
Now you can be laid to rest.

It eventually comes to an end
When we have to say goodbye to a dear friend
You will be missed by one and all 
Until we meet at heavens ball

A violent wind, thunderous, and loudly,
moves some stationary things it touches.
If in the “fraidy hole” hunkering proudly,
you've evaded mother natures clutches


“It’s an all-too-human frailty to suppose
that a favorable wind will blow forever.”

Car Ride, Oxford, 2011

Car Ride, Oxford, 2011

It's been raining long enough that I could not tell when day faded and night entered.
But there are too many other things to notice: a dim glow that
waxes and wanes as we turn,
translucent lines on the window massaged gently
into my face by the low beams. 
The engine hums softly; it has already lulled Sister to sleep.
But not me.
Soon, I will dissolve into the rhythms that this machine provides. My assimilation will be total.

Except that they lurk just over the line between hill and horizon.
They are clearly giants.
I see limbs, ragged and spread into the sky.
Imagine if they uprooted and stormed out of the woods,
to wreck this pristine Oxford morning.
To paint the horizon orange far too early.

It's raining. I nod gently in farewell
until the rhythms take me
and I roll silently away.

Premium Member Birthday Poem From 2011

No words, can true love express,
nor verse,fine sonnet or song,
the need,the longing to give;
No touch, can true love relieve,
nor kiss,cuddle or caress
the desire,to quench this fire
to have,receive and believe;
No comfort,can true love keep,
in letter or token lock
our longing to receive.

Straight up at Midnight
The Moon and Jupiter were,
Crisp and very clear.

6 Jan 2011

watching snow fall in the city
i think about the soldiers
  that fought in world war two
         dying every day.
i think about the homeless
   and where they might find warmth.
i think about death, slowly
                 with calculation.
i think about greed, insulated excess.
           about subliminal messages.
                 a wave of soaking paranoia.
                 anxious.
                 fear.
                            unnecessary.
i think jazz piano fingers speak
             with dynamic voice of god.
         jack kerouac was right
             to believe what he saw.
i think these stories are all true.
i think about listening closely.
                  can you hear it?
     raging silent.
                silence.
                science.
                vibrant.
                smiling.
