Best Ay Poems
Ben raised up a dern disappointment, Daddy, well, he wanted a boy.
Wasn’t nothing under the bleeding red sun Ma could do but keep on a tryin’
Ya’siree, she was one branded filly and dern iffin that filly didn’t birth a maverick.
Daddy, well he had him some hard times a com’n
and he didn’t ev’n try to hide his fallen face when Sis was born.
that un, well, she was maverick number two!
Daddy was the devil may care sort and him and his seed strayed far afield,
sowing his wild oats, praying for an heir, he himself was one
‘slick hairy dick’ so to speak [that’s cowboy lingo for a maverick himself]
and you know what they say, “The cow plop don’t fall far from its ****”
He kept on pokin’ Ma ‘till he got that boy, all nine caterwauling pounds!
Dynasty founded, one hell of a shindig was thrown, as luck would have it,
Dad strayed, but not before he taught his gal’s not to take guff from any man!
Out on the range, Dad rounded up a couple more Betty’s
“Yehaw, did that brand sizzle” got his self a couple more bucko’s
for the dynasty and another sweet filly, all of them mavericks to the core.
Funny thing is old Dad’s gal’s got more balls then most men.
So, I guess in the end [wink] he taught us well!
*This is a Cowboy Poem, it is a maverick to it's form because
Cowboy poetry is rhymed, metered verse written by someone who has lived a significant portion of his or her life in Western North American cattle culture. The verse reflects an intimate knowledge of that way of life, and the community.
[Never lived in the West, don't like anything that looks at me with one eye!
"...names have been changed to protect the innocent."
P.S. I'm the maverick!
Sipunin si Nene noong una ko'ng masilayan
Binigyan mo ng ngiti ang tikom na makipot na labi
Kulay ng pisngi ay nag-iba, malarosas kapag ika'y nakikita
At sa bawat ngiti ng mapanukso mong labi
Di mawari, pakiramdam ko ang kagustuhang mayakap mo muli!
Naging isa, tinadhana ng Lumikha
Buong pagkatao isinuko pati ang kaluluwa
Tamis ng pagmamahalan binabalik-balikan
Sinumpaang pagmamahalan, malayang ipinaramdam.
Halakhak na dulot ng malikot na isip
Lalong napalapit sa iniibig
Bawat luha na pumatak
Buong pusong niyakap, inunawa, tinanggap.
Mahal kita... saiyo ako ay gustong humabi ng SANA
Hanap ka lagi ng puso, laman ng isip, nasa ng pagkatao
Ikaw na tila kasukat ng katawan, kahati ng pagkatao,
at sa pag-iisa ng mga kaluluwang tunay na nagmamahalan!
Kung IKAW lamang ay SANA
humabi na ako ng pangarap na TAYO ngang dalawa
Magkahawak-kamay na tatahakin
mamuhay sa mundo ng walang hahamakin!
Subalit heto tayo, kasalukuyang nakakahon
Ikaw sa mundo mo na bigla ay sinubok ng pagkalito
Mahal mo ba siya o ako ba...
O mamaalam na sa pagmamahalang walang kasing-sarap na pinagsaluhan?
Ramdam ko ang pagbabago mo
ngunit naiintindihan ko
tanikala mo'y hindi kailanman mapapatid
lalagi ka na lamang AKIN sa panaginip...
Kung ikaw lamang ay SANA...
Alam ko, tayo ay magiging maligaya.
Ngunit...
Akala ko nung una ang SANA ay pag-asa.

It’s Happy Mother’s Day
Mom stays in bed all day
while we all swing and sway
We serve her brunch in bed
not much to munch, it’s Bad!
Then we break all the dishes
and feed the cat goldfishes
We go outside and play
in a big lightning storm
The baby’s electrocuted
Ha-ha, can't cry now, he’s muted
Into the basement we sneaked
to take an illegal peak
at crazy dad’s latest experiment
Mom's wedding ring's now rubber cement
Time to take Mom to dinner
We picked a real winner
Too bad the place closed last year
They served great pickles and beer
Well, that wraps up Mother’s Day…
'Til a tornado blows our house away
Mom cries uncontrollably
~ Thanks for the memories
I rassled a bear when i was only two yars old...

Katulad ng lawin-lawinan ang buhay,
Minsa'y sa itaas, minsa'y sa ibaba,
Nagiging masaya kapag nagtagumpay,
Nalulungkot sa panahon ng sakuna,
Mahalagang ang Diyos ang gumagabay,
Anumang sitwasyon ay di alintana,
Dahil laging tinuturuan ng aral
Mula sa Panginoon at Amang Banal.
Ang buhay, lawin-lawinan ang katulad,
Sa pagtaas ay humawak nang mahigpit,
Sa tuntunin ng Diyos dapat lumakad,
Manalangin sa Ama kung nagigipit,
Ang nagpapakababa'y siyang mapalad,
Sa Dakilang Lumikha siya'y malapit,
Ang pagkabigo ay isa sa pagsubok,
Sa pag-asa ay huwag maging marupok.
Huwag magtataka kung hindi pareho
Ang bawat isang nilalang sa daigdig,
Ang Diyos ang nagmamaneho sa tao
Na kung nais ng Diyos ay kinakabig,
Nababago rin ang pag-ikot ng mundo,
Ngunit ang wakas ay hindi na lalawig,
Sa Diyos kumapit kung nahihirapan,
Ang buhay ay tulad ng lawin-lawinan.
Ang puti ng itlog ay walang lasa,
Malibang nilagyan ito ng asin,
At ang dilaw naman ay may protina,
Kaya masarap iulam sa kanin,
Sa tuwing inihahain sa mesa,
Ito ay hindi mapigilang kunin,
Kilala nga ito sa buong mundo,
Mahalaga ito sa bawat tao.
Wala ngang lasa ang puti ng itlog,
Ito'y nasa Banal na Kasulatan,
Kung ito'y di sinasadyang mahulog,
Mababasag at lalabas ang laman,
Ito rin ay mabuting pampalusog,
Magandang pampalakas ng katawan,
Huwag lang lalabis sa nararapat,
Alamin mong mas mainam ang sapat.
Sa nilagang itlog ay nakadikit
Ang balat na buo minsa'y may bitak,
Sa prito may imaheng nakaukit,
Ang dulot sa tumitingin ay galak,
Kapag malasado ay inuulit,
Upang ang luha ay hindi pumatak,
Karaniwang dilaw ang pinipili,
Sa itlog ay walang lasa ang puti.
Ang sapatos ay gamit sa paa,
At proteksyon katulad ng bota;
Isuot mo ito sa paglakad,
Upang ikaw ay maging mapalad.
Ang mga turo ng Panginoon,
Mabisa sa lahat ng panahon;
Huwag mo nga itong huhubarin,
Sa masama'y huwag paalipin.
Ang kasuotang galing sa itaas
Ay pandigma laban kay Satanas;
Ang salita ng katotohanan
Ay may lakip na kapayapaan.
Banal ang ebanghelyo ng Diyos,
Ang aral ay tulad ng sapatos.
I gaze at the sky with wonder
What secrets does it holds up yonder
Guess I'll never know
Nearing the end of my show
Would sure flick my flicker, ay caramba!!!
Failing once, twice or more should be called trying
Because it takes a few times to wholly grip a lesson depending
On the individuals and their experiences
Part of living is to grasp all types of classes and courses
Which can lead to eventual success
When we fail once, we somehow win something
We reach a different or higher level, a different class
Failing must not be on the projector
Failing must not be on the monitor
Failing is when one is gone, dead, kaput and no more
When one either flees or is kicked out of the door
As long as life exists
One must fight hard, strive and persist
To pass the tests in order to be included on the winners’ list
Through making serious sacrifices or to kill the ugly beasts
Of idleness, dullness, procrastination and laziness
We must wake up, get up, stand up and be ready to rumble
At the same time, we must be insightful, clever, tough and humble
Failure stands far from any solution
Failure can never be an option
Winning is about doing positive actions
Winning is about accepting and willing to fall
To get up a few times and to walk straight, strong and tall
To defy gravity and to eventually be among the constellations.

To write some rules that check a text
to posit if it’s human:
a bit like Noah building arks
while lacking in bitumen.
For what’s the pitch, the angle here…
see plagiarism ceased?
To write a code to find fake odes:
that’s some recursive beast!
Ang bukas ay walang hanggan,
Hinihintay ng sinuman;
Makita ang kagandahan,
Pangarap ng karamihan.
Ang bukas ay dumarating,
Sa pagtulog at paggising;
Ngunit ngayon ang kapiling,
Sa kahapon bumabaling.
Ang bukas ay mangyayari,
Di mapigil ng buhawi;
Kahit bundok na malaki
Ay hindi nga magwawagi.
Ganyan katindi ang bukas,
Kapag nangako ay wagas;
Ang buhay ay walang wakas,
Siya'y totoong malakas.
Ating pag-asa'y dagdagan,
Sa tiwala'y h'wag panawan;
Problema'y ating ngitian,
Ang bukas ay walang hanggan
Ay, caramba! It might be surprise
ay, caramba... or plain old dismay
Use it early, at the start of the day
or later, when the sun goes away

You call me mad and I call you boring
and you get upset cus I’ve insulted you
and everyone thinks what I said is an insult....
you just called me mad ffs,
You must be stupid as well as boring
and everyone in agreement with you is stupid too,
then they all get upset with me
even though they’ve just openly implied I’m mad
as a fact I should allow
whilst at the same time sitting ignorant to the insult
and waiting expectantly for me to apologise...…
And then I stop and think,
being mad is better than being insulting yet sensitive,
ignorantly bigoted whilst demanding others be liberal
and as well as that
have narcissistic selective traits
as to how I’m tuned into the world so it suits only my perspective....
So I’ll take being mad as you should have boring,
because you’re all absolutely clucking barmy mate!!!!
