nag tangka alang nangawa
I see an apple
hanging from a pompous tree
my ladder is short (nin)
i reach an apple
with my hand and pull it down
to shine on my palm, desire (md)
adoring eyes lit
opening lips mumbling
you get kiss instead (md)
hmm can’t have this one
jewel in my loving eyes
cry not, watching you (md)

powerful punch
connected, demolished face
pinoys are happy
gambling debts unpaid
mounting to extreme, helpless
hiding in the crowd
hungry stomach
roaring and hurting again
pretending calmly

ball strike a tree
bounce, landed on the fairway
lucky, i’m at ease
rippling water
just swallowed my last ball
one of those journey
rattling voices
tale of many near misses
i sit quietly

an old rocking chair
still rocking in the dark
when the wind blowing
a dripping dew
attracted wandering ants
in circular form
a barking puppy
tail waggling joyfully
gets hugs and a kiss

chip from bunker
drove gallery in frenzy
won the tournament
raindrops from sky
red flag flying, pit crew shaking
rain man won the race
dribbling on net
and gentle kiss does magic
but not for second time

a clear blue sky
watching blooming flowers
tempted to shower
crystal clear river
transparent shrimp, except eyes
i can see heart beats

cold coconut juice
start sweating on my hand
silent temptress
fresh chop onions
on fried fish and tomato
salivating lips

red sun up above
sending chills to my spine
as darkness abound
thick smoke in air
birds hopping on the street
escaping choking
fog in summer day
brings tears and coughing for me
indoors not helping
June 25th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
revealing attire
summer blooms walking beauty
curves showing freely
dark glasses shining
hiding weary looking eyes
let me try wearing
rocking music loud
rising blood pressure normal
pretending singing
broken hearted kins
wait patiently but no luck
bless them forever

big brown king crab legs
hanging over her small plate
too busy to see
red city buffet
people leaving with smile
i could understand
beautiful dress
came with smile and a check
it could be the tip
June 23rd, 2008 at 3:19 pm
late for a minute
rushing through narrow street
stop by police
a sleepless night
busy fingertips tapping
melody of dawn
June 21st, 2008 at 9:02 pm
sword rest for season
wounded knees will heal again
to conquer the green
the wheels from paris
will start rolling again
no yank contender
celtics so prevail
next year could be west to shine
get center grinder
June 17th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
last roar came not far
screaming fans full of joy
me too so happy
mighty sticks rest
rolling rocks seems to stop too
joining champion
hurt knees forgotten
at triumphant hole seven
nerves has prevail

thundering screams
floods the valley of jolla
tiger is roaring
roco is but quits
knows who’s coming tomorrow
but nothing to lose
June 14th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
breeze in la jolla
driven balls to waiting cliff
phil wasn’t spared
roar of the tiger
heard clearly, yes at pin high
i feel like playing
June 12th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
rocky mountain top
kissing beautiful clouds
begging to stay
lovely tomato
coming from corporate farm
sick after eating
June 11th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
flash in the sky
lit up the whole neighborhood
children screaming
thunder from the clouds
roaring with anger again
i pretend deaf
oh! mumbling lips
wanted to be understood
but nobody heard
June 10th, 2008 at 8:55 am
beautiful house
overlooking the river
pretty girl’s home
paddling kayak
down stream, passing boulder
disappeared under
swimming trout
watching dragon fly keenly
caught by hungry bear
June 2nd, 2008 at 2:41 am
swaying flowers
pollen flying all over
my eyes in tears
sun getting so hot
my sweat is soaking my shirt
i am so thirsty
chilled water bottle
soothing, i rub on my neck
much needed relief
May 30th, 2008 at 11:52 am
chirping up the tree
caring young while mom away
nest in harmony
open beaks for food
reaching up the sky waiting
darkness came no mom
silence blankets nights
huddled like coconut fruits
fall asleep hungry
May 26th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
undulating green
it’s hard to read putting path
missed by inch with sigh
hit the bunker lip
bounce to soft slanted green
settles on the fringe
fading hits a tree
rolled in the yard, scared dog
three dollars wasted
ball on clear water
i am reaching carefully
honey! towel please
May 25th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
snake wrap around
too full to look far beyond
ignored me, relieve
sharp thorn on bushes
lodge on my skin it hurts
bare for good stroke
a joyous foursome
on back nine struggling
but laughter abound
crack on tree branches
hampered a forward progress
sigh miserably
still pond so close
to the pin collects them all
mine no exception
..anybody of you play golf or tennis?
May 22nd, 2008 at 6:50 pm
hissing wind beyond
getting closer to me
worried what could be
raindrops falling now
ducks, geese doesn’t mind at all
break out umbrella
zooming provI ball
hits bunker roll down river
turtle startle
drop to continue
penalty stroke, a must
i will be careful
May 21st, 2008 at 7:07 pm
hissing wind and raindrops
through trees, houses, roads and weeds
flooding on street
broken branches lay
birds terrified shivering
leaves scattering
tiktak of icefalls
roaring, scratching window
broken diamonds
May 20th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
beef, shrimp, vegetable
mix over hot plate with sauce
monggolian food
skinny chopstick
fumblin in my finger
pick shrimp tomy lips
giggling waitress
brought fortune cookies to me
grin respectfully
filled, enjoyed the day
a generous tip offered
smiled, bid goodbye
May 19th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
rolling provI ball
hit pine cone bounce into sand
egg yolk not pretty
wedge scooping sand
good out, game has just begun
two stroke to green
ping a distinct sound
swoosh airborne path to green
short, do it again
chip, soft landing roll
settling few feet to go
gentle roll to hole
hay! tapos din/played good 2d
May 17th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
a whispering breeze
blowing gently across lawn
flowers dancing with …
japanese beetle
chewing myrtle fallen leaves
pop by passing tire
May 16th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
dragon fly asleep
hanging on beautiful leaf
catch ‘em by the tail
young wings fluttering
she is biting my finger
let her fly away
up in the sky
gliding still wings holding
lost into the clouds
hmmmm…. sayang diko napic
May 10th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
whispering turtle
by the banks tighly huddled
dog bark stumble
wiggling carp fins
stirring river surface
rippling the shore
May 7th, 2008 at 4:36 am
yellow tomatoe
sparkles to gazing sun
fade, harvesting hand
branch lifting high
showing hidden lovely fruit
surprise, smiling face
May 6th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
giggles beyond door
humming, cutting the shrub
all quiet bird flew
ticking mystic keys
traveling beyond window
parted lips drooling
kid pedaling fast
run over nieghbor’s rosebed
petals on the ground
angry lady weep
pick fallen petals with sigh
nieghbor came and cry
April 26th, 2008 at 10:45 am
juicy orange fruit
sparkling delicious rind
bursting in your lips
thirsty craving lips
kissing fresh harvest grapes
gentle eyes watching
yellow banana
drooping, soaking on the rain
tree frog in hiding
sweeping clouds, clear sky
birds flying chasing prey
hides beneath the tree
hmmm…puwede kaya mga ito.
April 22nd, 2008 at 2:44 pm

my good friend, this is so sweet. thanks so much. a subject as simple as apple can draw different variations and interpretations. the apple here is my poetry production. you don’t and won’t have this problem; you’re one of those gifted ones that can whip a sonnet in 5 minutes. thanks again.
