Mahal kong Admin ng CapSU-Dumarao
Mahal kong Admin ng CapSU-Dumarao
Minsan kong pinagsilbihan ikaw
Noong panahon ni PNoy dilaw
At ngayong panahon ni PBBM pula
Nais ko muling paglingkuran ka
Sa abot ng aking makakaya
Noon bilang Speechwriter nina
Dr. Bede at Dr. Teresita
Ngayon bilang AO ni Dr. Jean sinta
Sinisinta ko ang Admin talaga
Sa buhay ko siya ay mahalaga
Sisikapin kong mapabuti siya
Kakayanin ko bilang AO
Ako ay magiging kaagapay niyo
Sa de-kalidad na serbisyo.

*My Loving CapSU
Poetry soup admin I do commend
no poetry division do you recommend
There seems to be some poets who think they're upper class
Me a pleb who's down below think the idea of division is a farce
Some poems that are posted
I cannot make head nor tail
In a class I term esoteric
Does this mean as a poet
my poetry attempts deserve to fail
For me the point of posting poems
whatever form I've written the reader understands
Who would be the referees to decide what poems meet a standard
The decision by the Poetry Soup admin I do clap my hands
Impulse impulse impulses
That seven metric beating
Sets forth the measure even
Sooth hear heart beat you see ah
Seven beats the CPU,
Seven for the storage true,
Seven for the network's flight,
Seven keeps the fleet in sight.
Sir acknowledged Admin 'o
Fleet of e'ver Sea O War!
Weaponry worth knowing see,
Logic knowledge a must, now
Torp an enemy with blow
Seven matrix and row - four
Scatters over, under Sea,
penetrate their iron bow.

My 38th Leaf
Got thee at toe high
While newly arrived
Ornamental plant
Small and violet
This one I don't know!
Owned by academe
UP Visayas
Of town of Miagao
I'm still with students
Who are on field trip
Just been oriented
Then picture-taking
About nine-fifty
Day twenty-seventh
Of month September
At the very front
Of the Oblation
At the New Admin.
Of UP Miagao
A landscaped area
This I must get too
‘Coz it's a token
From where I was once
Everyday in life
I feel very glad!

*My Toladas Collection
Out of order is my pc
Awful thing to happen to me
I try to judge poetry contests
Impossible on iPhone I confess
Admin says soup made for computers
Makes me feel like a big fat loser
Indeed I lost fuchsia flexibility
Lost files in my purple cemetery
That’s where in my old files
I saved old trash poem piles
Poems gone before saved to iCloud
They weren’t good but I miss them now
For they were like mind flowers
Some weak discreet some with power
I guess they are also like a diary
Full of secrets writes wrongs dreams
Out of order no television or pc
I’ve a phone a home and peace

My 17th Leaf
Culled thee from new plant
Obvious ‘coz house new
And height still a foot
Though can grow meter
Here it's called “pasaw”
By Ozaraga
Father – school admin
Mother – professor
Daughter –ex-classmate
They're seven members
Third day January
This day Twenty Twelve
Third day of the year
Of Water Dragon
About 12 PM
Beside bamboo fence
Outside to open
Along a path walk
Near its native gate
Aligned with same kind
Just there to have lunch
With Ma'am Diday, Angie
Ma'am Beth and others
New Year left-overs
But Anne was not there.

My 13th Leaf
Detached thee with pain
Mind nearly insane
Staircase ornament
Balanced arrangement
Not know name for long!
CapSU property
Students behind me
Few meters away
Alone on the way
I wearing all-black
Ninth of December
Sky's not bright up there
About three-thirty
Afternoon empty
No class for awhile
On guest house staircase
Going up right base
Towards the admin
Sir Ladoc goin'
To seek good counsel
This day's treacherous
Clearly dangerous
Ma'am Juls read Gospel
To my ears a bell
Lost sheep – that is me!

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!

*Ode to the 7 Flowers of 2011
Seems plagiarism, isn’t a crime
Let’s copy lines we deem sublime
Perhaps from Shakespeare
Or wit Edward Lear
And poet’s deceased a long time
It's pointless alerting admin
Cos stealing work’s not deemed a sin
It’s really not fair
To steal works out there
It happened much to our chagrin
Known clichés which are now passé
Just copy them and post away
Then act with denial
Sit tight, even smile
And perhaps, get Poem of the Day!
Let’s be brutally honest with each other
AI poems are being posted on soup
Can be seen on a daily basis
Keep seeing the same names produce it
I don’t bother alerting admin as
Nothing gets done, so instead I
Go and seek genuine poems… HOWEVER
I USED to read a poem and comment
Now I often copy and paste them
To check for AI, and sadly I
Even search for plagiarism and
Get infuriated when I find it. I’d
Really love an explanation how a dead poet
Is able to post THEIR poem here on the site
The time has come to clean up the soup bowl
Yes let’s rid the site of cheaters and fakers!

I’ve decided to have me a seat and tell you what’s on my mind.
The following words are original, they are nobody else’s but mine.
They may not be very polished, and my grammar might not be just right.
I will never be a great poet, but I sleep quite well at night.
This is not some artificial intelligence, it’s just my fingers on keys.
These rhymes are just for fun, kind of like the birds and the bees.
There is no one I seek to impress, just hoping for a smile or two.
My grass will never be greener, and my sky contains the same blue.
I might write a little about faith, or maybe my incredible wife.
You might hear a line about gas or some of the truth in my life.
Feel free to turn up your nose, you will find that I really don’t care.
I will always be true to my friends, and immune to each snobby stare.
Go ahead and copy my words, you can even pass them off as your own.
My walls are all made of glass, so it can be you to cast the first stone.
Feel free to do as you please, our admin will not even look.
The dishonest will continue to plagiarize, then brag about writing a book.
Dear Poet Soup..
A request, dare I ask,
Could you withdraw
Mysterious mask?
As if in Oz
I feel I am
But hope your wizardry
No sham
For I request
A feature fair
To pin a poem
In the air..
High up above
As if balloon..
(your coding skills
to make us swoon)
My favourite write
The 'child' of mine
Top of the class
My favourite rhyme
Please let me click
A box right >> here <<
To pick my fave. Thanks.
Yours Sincere..
Cygnus Atratus event will comeAtUs
with cockleshells and beheadings apparatus
if this admin continues with it's modus operandis.
Two tiers of justice tells the tale,
of those who esteem not the People.
What sense does it avail to acquire the data
of Citizen, while leaving open the border?
What manner is this,
that states of
words, "protest peacefully" as an insurrection?
To acquire of the fourteenth amendment
and so forth seek to rig yet another election.
If the bogus claim of insurrection "leader" is true,
then isn't it also within the same vein,
to work that justice system into the open border
as an invasion, plan?
Presidential disqualification, theme?
Justice only by name, connections, fame.
Elitism, celebrity, money,
towing the Fallen Angel.line.
Event on the Horizon...
"Black Swan" meets "Fantastic Freddy"
treats "Social Credit Score System."
One Tier of Injustice.
Evidence?
Them against US.
"I hold these truths to be self evident..."
