Pagsukol nin bado

Iisipon ko na sanang magagamit taka
sa haruhalawig na panahon.
Idtong mahihiling ko pa
kun pano maludas an saimong kulor
Idtong ako pa mismo
an makakarisa kan mga parteng
igwang kinagatan
nin kino o makaka-aram
kun tano nababa
an laylayan mo.

Boot ko na ako pa
an mabakal nin pansalida saimo.
Dawa idto sanang dyison
idtong dai ako manhinayang
kun pira ko sana magamit
o kun ititon giraray nin kino

tsaga-tsagaan ko na
ta perang beses na sana man
gayod ini bubuluson.

Bulan nin mga Gadan

Minsan gusto kong isipon na swerte an magadan. Dai na mangangaipo, dai na mahahadit, dai na matatakot. Matatakasan an anuman na klase nin problema na pig-aatubang kan lambang buhay sa kinaban, alagad dai ko man sinasabi na problema an mabuhay.

An mga buhay dai maaapod na buhay kun bako sa mga gadan. Padagos an mga buhay na naghahanapbuhay nganing padagos na mabuhay. Dikit sana an mga buhay na boot magadan dai ko lang sherto kun may mga gadan man na gusto pa giraray mabuhay.

Padagos lugod satong magdanay an buhay. Sarong matuninong na aldaw nin mga gadan sa gabos na buhay.

Oda sa Sinawisaw

Arog kaini
kun pano
pigdadakop
an pagnamit
kan kinaban,

Hinahalian
nin labsay.

Binubugtakan
nin dikit
na askad,
pait,
hamis,
harang.

Uurukagon
an gabos
sa ibabaw
kan pigbuhay
na kalayo.

School Publication

Early this June, I was assigned to be one of the advisers of the would-be school publication of our school. Following the time table set earlier the school publication should be released this October, so I am hoping that the student journalists will have time to write their share for the paper. I hope to release the maiden issue, I hope to be part of the school history.

To add to the pressure, our team was invited to join the local press conference for student journalists, I am excited to join, though not a participant but as a coach. To practice my writers I asked them to write several times, my conclusion after reading their drafts, student journalists nowadays tend to write poetry, short story and feature articles rather than hard news. But sadly the contest is focused on the hard news.

I think I am ready to accompany my students to the press con, no matter what the results will be. Many times when ask for the secret of a good writer, I usually answered, "according to them, they develop skill in writing by a cyle of reading, writing and revising".
