(Click for Poet Info...)


I wrote since my elementary days, but I stopped..Just lately, maybe brought about by challenging situations and so much free time, I started to write, again....Most of my compositions talk about my day to day thoughts, my reflections, my experiences with the world and with God, events and whatever  crosses my mind....It is a transparent "me" and I hope to whoever will read , they will be inspired one way or another..

Most of my compositions are triggered by contests sponsored by the Premium Soup Members,  probably joining time to time from these, it developed and enhanced my writing in a way. Anyhow, I always managed to put myself within these poems. I can say that writing poems is now one of my fave hobbies.

I am a learner of poetry. This is definitely shown in my poems, different types and different subjects... I am a Filipina, born August 13, 1986.  English is not my native tongue. I render care with all kinds of people regardless of creed, age, religion and race.

Instead of speaking up, I intend to burst it all to poetry and by just singing........................... :) some will criticize as it is full of emotions or its "emo" but it is alright.. :) all I want to do is to express the things, I can't seem to say.

my compositions are my "hide outs", my fantasies,, my dreams and so long yearnings. I don't collect material things as like shoes, books, cds, paintings or so. however, these are my collections: MY POEMS. :)!

SWEATS AND SWEETS

Blog Posted by Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser: 5/25/2015 8:39:00 AM

Fellow Soupers,

After a playful, youthful, exciting and fragrant theme: BLOSSOMS and BUBBLES, again I will tickle and challenge your rich creative thinking with another theme:

SWEATS

and

 SWEETS... 

 

enlightenedCompose a new and original version of SWEATS and SWEETS. 14-20 lines maximum. choose from these forms only: sonnet, sicilian/english quintain, ottava rima ,  triolet. Include the date. No names. Use SWEATS and SWEETS as the title.enlightened

James Fraser and I did a version on this theme. I challenged him. I enumerated three possible interpretations I have in mind regarding this theme then gave him the freedom to choose which we will write on.

Our collaborated version:
