Rengahan

Muling manggigising ang aking harana Sa kamakata kong nasa EMANILA Poetry. Ibalik po kayang masigla, Ang naliligtaang napatid na Renga. Maraming makatang dito’y nag-aabang Upang ang taludtod at mga saknunga’y Muling ipalingging sa ating dapugan Upang bumalikwas ang personang himlay. Merong mga bagong makatang magaling, At meron ding antik sa tula’y humaling Na humaling kaya gigisingin natin Ang diwa’t personang lalambi-lambitin. Kumbaga’y sa tv… Ako Ang...

Ang sevenling ay isang uri ng tulang may pitong linya. May halimbawa sa Sevenling/Rengahan, English version. Mga panuntunan: Ang unang tatlong taludtod/linya ay may tatlong elemento – tatlong pangungusap na magkaka-ugnay o magkakahiwalay, o tala ng tatlong detalye, pangalan o posibilidad. Gayundin ang susunod na tatlong linyang maaaring tuwirang kaugnay o kasalungat o walang kinalaman sa naunang...

Greetings to emanilapoetry enthusiasts. From the success of the cinquain train, sijo ship and haiku helicopter (awaiting darkdatu’s conversion), I am inspired to introduce yet another poetry form, the sevenling, which is a poem of seven lines inspired by the form of this much translated short verse by Anna Akhmatova (1889 – 1966). He loved three things...

This is an open invitation to those who are bold enough to try new forms of poetry. Actually a response from darkdatu, one of the enthusiasts in the Cinquain thread, this hopes to generate as much positive ”riders” as the “train” did and a more cooperative dynamic on the site. Those who are inclined to use our native...

This post has been moved to the rengahan section upon advice of the impeccable Ham – It may be a traditional or non – traditional haiku whatever the poet prefers as long as we keep the chain going Haiku 7/3/09 – Midnight Night’s song has lulled all Life’s become a still photo I, the sole viewer

I’m inviting my fellow cinquain enthusiasts and the others who may be similarly inclined to join this serendipity of sorts (given that blueangel agrees). The cinquain train is happily rolling along, let’s venture onto another ride. Originally Korean, Sijo is a basic verse of 44 to 46 syllables in 3 lines (of 14;14;16) or 6 lines...

Same rules as the rengahan. The following poems should be in ‘cinquain’ form. The previous entry was written by ham8113: Crying, you said you hate, because it reminded of rain, and I retorted I LOVE IT. (No proposed ‘theme’ yet like the one done  in Lambingan Renga) =============== LOVE IT how the stars shine above the sky tonight Love it most because ’tis you why THEY’RE BRIGHT.

Habang naghihintay tayo ng iba na magsisimula ng panibagong thread dito, naghagilap kami ng iba pang paksa. Nahalungkat namin ang ilang mga kinatha nila Tata Raul, Ka Ezzard, Carlos C. Huelma, Fermin Salvador, Don Belardo, Willie Bongcaron, Rowan Velonta at iba pa na napalimbag dito sa emanilapoetry noong taong 2005. Maraming magaganda tayong maaaring gawing...

KAHOY itong kalambingan tuwing aahon sa bundok Panggatong na maliliyab ang gapok na mga tuod Habang yaong kabarkada’y nangangalap nitong uod Sa pugad ng mga ibong may sisiw na nangagyupyop. Kahoy itong pasan-pasang tila parusa ng Diyos, Araw-araw na kakani’y hirap na ipagkaloob; Ngunit ito’y naging hamon upang ako’y pumatuktok Nitong labang kahirapan sa daigdig nitong agos. Kahoy din ang...

PAGMAMAHALAN din; Kahit nangulila sa nagluksang sangang pook na tipanan. At sa panganoriy laging umaasa; magbabalik muli ang mga nagdaan. Noon ay kahapong binuo ang pugad sa labay ng sangang bumasbas ng lilim. At sa papawiri’y sabay kung lumipad magkayakap naman sa gitna ng dilim. Sa binuong pugad siyap ay narinig ng magkasing ibon na lalong nagbuklod. Sa mga musmos pa’t matinis na tinig na...
