Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser
(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. :)!

UPDATE ON OUR YEAR IN LOVE CONTEST

Blog Posted by Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser: 2/11/2016 8:16:00 PM

 

Fellow Soupers,

I'm blessed to be happy these days and I hope you are too... hello! winksmiley

I've been busy because of some personal matters I really need to attend  at the moment, but I've never forgotten to peek once in a while here and that just this morning 9:57am our time here in the Philippines, February 12, 2015 that I've known the contest is already full.. I am so excited to read all your entries...

I had a quick scan and noticed that there are really some entries that are: 

***Over the number of lines we required...

***Didn't follow the poetry form

***no date

***no words: IN LOVE on the title

------I am glad that none wrote their name smiley

In as much as I want to place some entries higher, I can't with these reasons... (I want you to know that I've joined lots of contests here in soup but I didn't place or my poem was N/A because I didn't follow the rule and the sponsors are kind enough to notify me after judging . It's my personal  mistake and I learned my lesson, though I never complained when I don't place. )

I enjoy the challenge and I enjoy writing...

Half of the entries didn't follow the mentioned rules, hence, I am reopening the contest and increasing the number of entries to 40... Though there are lots that I read a few and got me smiling and hanging on the images.. Allow me to say that sometimes shorter lines are better ...

In advance, thank you so much for all who participated and I will tell this to James later, I am all sure that like me he is looking forward reading your heart-melting, sweet poems with me.. blushheart 

We are ready for the rocket release of endorphins as we read your entries.. heart

Thank you for bearing with us...

Share a smile as much as you can! angelenlightenedblushsmileywink

 

Sincerely,

heart~~~~James Fraser and Olive Eloisa Guillermo~~~heart

I appreciate you letting us have up to thirty lines so I could enter my poem Olive. I tried to shorten it as much as possible. Thank you so much. I look forward to reading all the entries. Hugs, Connie
