Sa Agri., Vet.Med. at Computer Lang
Sa Agri. ko lang naranasan ang makumbidahan
Sa piging ng isang dating mag-aaral dahil kanyang napasahan
Ang Board Exam na pinaghandaan
Sa Vet. Med. ko lang naranasan na balikan
Ang UPV Miagao na dati kong pinag-aralan
Nang ako'y sumama sa field trip nila sa pook na naturan
Sa mga taga-Computer ko lang naranasan pamalagian
Ang isang silid na dati nilang pinagkaklasehan
Parang Etheria na nasa gitna at ako ay isang Heran.

*for Gov. Tanco's 71st Birthday
Tonight, let's toast to life's revelries
When sparkle of moments pops fine wine,
Play on the year's red-berried stories
Relishing the grace of Auld Lang Syne!
This vear like bubbles...forever gone,
Yet through all journeys we'll entwine
Firm the resolve, to choose not what's wrong
To sing of kinship, good Auld Lang Syne!
It doesn’t happen everyday
Through perilous weather, flies Santa’s sleigh
Reflecting in the Winter sun
Are its legs, in gunmetal grey
Yet as Christmas Eve turns to Morning
Falling behind red-silk and cotton
Among the frost
One’s mind is lost
And all else is forgotten
The children play with what was brought
Without as much as a second thought
From where these marvellous gifts came
Or in the manner how they were wrought
To gratitude, they must adhere
In the closing of the year
Unaware that these times are austere
And each of their new toys, hold near
While countless harsh weeks lie ahead
A return to school, many will dread
And memories, so bittersweet
Will be recalled instead
They say that what goes up, must come down
Such includes the crib and tree
The wrapping and its debris
Whilst wearing a cap and gown
This cold new year evokes a frown
You'll live inside my memory book
Sometimes I'll go back and look
Your image there won't fade away
A thousand years sharp as today
At one-o-five (105) if I'm still here
I'll open up that book so dear
And write through hands that then will shake
One last poem for old time's sake
It clicks and it whirs and it chunters,
This wonderful little machine,
As it takes and measures and grinds
Those marvellous little brown beans.
It hisses and it gurgles and it splutters
Then finally begins to pour
And just seconds later
A Kaffee Lang awaits once more,
Which just slips down the throat
So any morning muzziness slips away;
After such a fine coffee
Any man can face any day
“Lang May Your Lum Reek"
Leave
A light on
Like
A fire aglow
Keep
One burning
As
A warm hello
Leave
A light on
Illuminate
The way
Let
Neighbors know
They’re
Welcome to stay
Leave
A light on
Not
Just for books
It’s says
You’re welcome
Come
Into my nook
Leave a light on
Its
Simple to do
If
Down turns them
Off
It’s
All up for you

On a narrow street of Singalong
spreads and banners hang along
Wreaths of subjects and icon
flourish within the alleys of lexicon.
As acid waters plunge,
dirt and dust lounge.
Tin roofs clang, rants and rats run.
Not all streets boom with a bang
Only in the street of auld lang syne.
Looking out my window at the snow falling softly
I am reminded of the passing of time
the new year can bring new beginnings
the new year always made me a bit melancholy
leaving the ones I loved and lost even further away
at least that’s how I feel every year when I hear
auld lang syne at midnight
I know life goes on
I know life is good
that moment of sadness and sweet memories
visits me during that song
I will not say goodbye to them
my heart swells for the missed moments
as I take a deep breath and wonder
what will this new year bring
locking those memories in my heart
Christmas tree twinkles
ornaments shine
we're missing some
tears glisten
when I remember

Oo at hindi diretso ang iyong kahulugan,
Hindi rin tiyak iyong kinabukasan.
Subalit ika'y luwad ng mapagpalang Ama,
Sa'yong kamay, hinugis ang sana.
Kaya't ipipilit, iiyak nang maging masaya;
Lulupasay, mag-aala uod sa lupa!
Ganito ka ngayon kaya kinakaladkad,
Bukas, iba kana't lilipad mamumukadkad.
Taglay mo ang liksi at sigla, ang ngiti at tawa;
Munti man, kayang baguhin pati ang bala.
Daliring animo'y sa mayang walang laya,
Mata nama'y sa agilang malawak ang haraya.
Taglay mo ang lahat ng pagbabago;
Subalit bulag sila sa mga imahinasyon mo.
Bingi rin silang takot na matuto,
Dahil sa ingay ng mga salita mong totoo.
Another year has passed by me and so much different then the last
ever since this Covid March I have been living out my house arrest
no outward smiles to show my love, no hugs no squeezes for my kids
like a Citizen of good I understood but yes, I almost flipped my lid
with every day that passes by I dream of yesterday's good chide
though nature walks and social talks are good, I have been tried
heart and soul I miss my family and friends, this is my prayer
that the New Year will arrive, and be our dragon slayer ...
Another year another Auld Lang Syne, I'm longing for the wine
an open sign that says yes come in, restaurants where I can dine
a shopping mall, a dancing hall, filled up buses with a kiss n' ride
maskless faces in a world of wander, with happy people at my side
Another year has passed me by, and I'm waiting, by and by...
The horns are squeezed the bells ring out
Auld Lang Syne is sung, no one about
All gone to their homes, arm in arm they walk
A few bevies inside them, so they talk the talk.
Of how it will be this coming year
Money no object, no fighting or fear
Till they get home, something seems to snap
The dog is kicked, the wife gets a slap
The bevies have taken over, control is nought
Peace ever after, what a grand thought
No use trying to coax or chivvy when like this
Definitely stand away, don't get close for a kiss
He will blame it on a bad pint, same as last year
Makes you want to forget new year with all its fear
He needs to be locked up with a few likewise men
Bet he would never, beat his wife up again.
So all you men and women that drinks too much
this poem I hope your conscience will touch
Get a grip of yourself be a man keep off the beer
Give your family a break next new year
For all the abused women and children that fear holiday times

Here is the love story of Zhi Nu and Niu Lang
A romantic ancient Chinese tale of very long
Zhi was a nymph and Niu Lang was a cowherd
Cowherd-nymph love forbidden,secretly wedded.
Had two children, but their happy life ended.
As by the goddess Wang they were detected.
The goddess took Zhi Nu back to the heaven
Niu Lang chased them with his two children.
They were blocked by the milky way- sky river
And the children kept crying for their mother,
Shouting her name, Niu and children wandered
By their pain and grief, the goddess was moved.
She allowed them to meet one day in a year
Could be seen in the sky as Altair and Vega stars
They meet and live happily ever after for a day.
Day celebrated as Qixi- Chinese valentine day.

I must forget
so as to replace
the face
on the streets,
without contempt.
Start the new
fresh and already accomplished.
