Eunice Adrados Poem
Once upon a dream
Where rainbows are all a gleam
Land filled with rich green
Treasures found in every stream
Once upon a dream
Friends and enemies were once a team
No request was too extreme
But things aren't always what they seem
In the land of a magnificent kingdom
Stands a castle full of boredom
In the corridors are cries of a princess
Held captive inside the enemy's fortress
Trapped inside a gloomy dungeon
And accompanied by a flock of pigeon
The princess lay sleepless day & night
Hoping for a savior, a prince or a knight
Our little tale's coming to an end
A knight in shining armor came in to defend
The damsel in distress which he calls his friend
Once upon a dream and all this came to an end.

Eunice Adrados Poem
The day I went out, you all smiled
"Welcome my sweet, my precious child!"
Tired, still you rocked me to and fro
Many, many long years ago
"What's that?" I'd ask innocently
You'd smile and answer patiently
All things I asked you seemed to know
Many, many long years ago
My peers and pressures took their toll
Got out of hand, lost all control
You picked me up and helped me grow
Many, many long years ago
Now all alone, independent
Lived life that's great and resplendent
In my hands was you in photo
Many, many long years ago

Eunice Adrados Poem
Before technology became widespread
Different ideas every person shed
Experiments were done, executed, conducted
Various discoveries from them resulted
Scientists were known for their countless contributions
Their unending research created new revelations
Genetically modified organisms for instance
Where food, plants or animals they tried to enhance
A sample of this is a modified tomato
The Flavr Savr as we commonly know
It was the first created GMO
Where ripening was made long and slow
Tomatoes are not the only food that's modified
But crops from the farms that they tested and tried
Golden Rice, Bt corn, papaya and potatoes
All rich in vitamins, including the tomato
Plants weren't exempted from this vast improvement
StarLink ang Weathergard they managed to invent
They can adapt to their surroundings' condition
In terms of resistance to temperature depletion

Eunice Adrados Poem
It was just another ordinary day
Scattered notes are all over the place
Drums trying to maintain a certain beat
Guitars either strumming or singing
Violins studying their scales and arpeggios
The piano pouring out its player’s soul
Clarinets and flutes blowing out harmonies
A mesmerizing vocal cuts through
A white butterfly flutters freely
Basking in the building’s flowing melodies
Students rushing in and out of the cafeteria
Sheet music in their hands while eating
Leaves of variant colors fall from the trees
The wind blows in one direction
Compensating for the scorching hot sun
Taking turns as nature takes its usual course
Old friends reconcile and greet each other
Re-living past memories and narrating the present
Speaking of profound concepts within their discourse
Anyone overhearing may be left confused
It was just another ordinary day
Scattered notes are all over the place
Many things happening all at once
Yet the resonant music remained unnerved

Eunice Adrados Poem
I looked out of my window, disturbed from my sleep
I was startled when I saw water knee high deep
I saw troubled people get out of their rooms
In front of their faces there was nothing but gloom
Lurking in the hallways, were cries of the dying
I could hear nothing but the shouts of the living
There was no need to proclaim, "The ship is sinking!"
I could hear loud and clear that the waves were rushing.
As I walked through the freezing icy cold waters
My whole body's shaking, from my face to my nerves
When a ferocious wind blew, I shook and shivered
Thinking survival's the only thing that matters
The sweat of the people arouses in the air
With the smell of adrenalin, fear and despair
Some fought for their lives beyond the hopeless moment
Some gave up and accepted what was truly meant.

Eunice Adrados Poem
On the first day of classes, everyone was excited
To meet old friends, though new ones could be sighted
Old or new she welcomed us warmly
Wearing a smile, what a sight so lovely!
She was like our second mother
When things got rough or even harder
She knows when to be carefree or strict
Depending on the class' unpredictable flick
In the way you taught us, only one thing's evident
A method of teaching, a tactic, an element
You do not just teach and blabber all day
But you made us understand everything all the way
In times when other people would shun us down
You were the sole creature who'd lift us from the ground
You drove the mounds of doubt away
And found our courage that had gone astray
We're afraid that this poem's coming to an end
But we hope you'll gather what we mean to portend
We thank God for giving us an exceptional guardian
Happy Teacher's Day, our great mathematician.

Eunice Adrados Poem
Ever since I was born, you were there to watch me
A father full of pride, even I would agree
You took care of me, countless 24/7's
You barely even slept, not ten or eleven
You raised me in a dad's unconditional love
Sometimes strict, sometimes stern, but peaceful like a dove
To young me you were like a supercomputer
Helping with my homework, no one's way cooler
I forgot to mention my element'ry times
How we did my math problems, we solved like crimes
You were fond of using letters a,b, and c
When all I could figure were x,y, and z
You honed my talents, in music to be exact
A gift inside of me you've managed to unwrap
Something I really learned from you and your guitar
Experiences and thoughts way before trojan war
I'm afraid that my poem is coming to an end
There's much to tell you that I cannot comprehend
The towering number of the things you have done
Happy Father's Day my dear father and loved one.

Eunice Adrados Poem
One sunny morning in a class of thirty-one
They were asked to draw an image one by one
Each student stood up, with pastels at hand
Being enthusiastic to draw something grand
The first group was decided to start the task
Talents in drawing they've started to unmask
The paper came to life with colors, curves and lines
Will it end up like a garden or fields of mines?
Time passed by and the paper was almost full
Of drawings and colors made by their tools
There were animals with mustache on their faces
Each and everyone belonging to their places
Now the artwork was finished and the students sighed
Looking at the masterpiece they've done with pride
They didn't care what the paper looked like
For in their hearts it was a true work of art

Eunice Adrados Poem
Eventhough I knew from the very start
That thy love is given, but not to me;
Even if it will only break my heart
I am still hoping that someday you'll see.
When you say to her the words "I love you"
To me, I know those words you'll never say
Still I pretend, change the angle of view
Illusions I made up, though it's cliché
I can't see anyone but you, my dear
My heart silently cries from deep within
Say you like someone, "It's me!" I endear
Pain that's aching but I just keep it in.
It hurts, it's so deep, it cuts like a knife
But wounds heal and I'll go on with my life.

Scorching sun
Waves lapping the shore
