Floating Words, Floating Rhymes

DUST Talk

When I was a kid, I really hate poetries. For me, they're too boring to read and write with. They are too hard to understand.

When I step unto my Junior High, I was encouraged to wrote poetries. I sucked at writing them honestly. I can create one, yet it's very lame. It has rhymes but has no emotions.

Now, still a Senior high, I really learned to love them with all my life. My heart speaks the poems I wanna write. My hands move to create more and more.
No one forced me to liked this. But someone taught me to loved this. I should be thankful to HIM.

And if you're asking me which one do I prefer to write? English or Filipino poetry? I'm neutral. But I guess one of my great choice is English. Not becoz I'm too trying hard to write in foreign language. It's because I just love to play with my highfalutin words everytime. It's kinda exciting to blend words with similes and metaphors. They're too beautiful in my eye. And hell yeah, I'm inlove with poetries.

I can write you a Sonnette if you want. Or else I can be the Tanaga or Haiku of your life. Haha just kidding. And I too, can spoke Spoken poetry for you. I'm not as good as Maimai Cantillano. I'm not professional like Juan Miguel Severo.

But since they're one of my inspirations, it's a big challenge for me. It's kinda weird to say, I want to be like them. An artist of literary. A dramatic poet. An author.
