How I Made This Poem
by: Kiana R. Fuentes
As I sat in my room, confused and mad
I crumpled papers that I tore from my pad
I flung pencils and threw all my erasers
That soon will hit my parents and sister
by: Roma Bartolome
Alone, I walk down the streets
I hear shouts, laughter, and bars playing awesome beats
Guys in skateboards, girls tin their shortest skirts
And I, merely wearing a plain white shirt
As I continued walking, visions got more and more exciting
“So this is the modern world,” I said thinking it was interesting
Passed by a street and saw a group in a narrow circle
They were bursting in laughter while each holding a green bottle
Suddenly one girl noticed my presence
To my surprise I attempted running, “I have no pennies nor cents!”
Then she yelled, “We mean no harm. C’mon let’s have some fun!”
I smiled and held her hand, my fear was all gone
They handed me the same bottle, I tried and wondered why it tastes bitter
But seeing them drinking much, I endured it and felt like this time it tastes better
Finished five bottles and my world suddenly went spinning
And all of them pointed at me saying, “Hey, want to try herbal smoking?”
“I need to pass a creative poem”
I said as I started to scream and groan
I need a topic plain and simple
Then I started smiling, showing off my dimple
Then a thought hit me right in the head
While I was hugging a pillow on my bed
I stopped my yells, groans and weird moans
Then I started writing this awesome poem
I grabbed my pen and my empty piece of paper
And made a poem that will soon be super
I wrote, I scribbled and I crossed out
I smiled, I frowned but I did not shout
I finished this poem with time to spare
Then I let people read it with care
And this is how my poem was made
I hope you liked it, give it a good grade
Without second thought I gave in
Intentionally forgetting that it’s a sin
Because of curiosity, I tried everything that seems new
But as I indulged more and more in these things, I found myself to be blue
Is this really the life I wanted?
Why did all these things happen?
The world is full of wonders and mystery
I don’t know what to do, I’m lost! This is not me
Incomparable Man
And one day as I slept, a vision flashed in my dream
“You are my child and I love you. Come with me,” said Him.
I was awakened, teary-eyed, felt sorry for what I did.
So I uttered, You are the Lord and my savior, you should take the lead.
He’s so caring, responsible and smart
I love him right from the start
He’s very good with Math
Now, what can you say about that?
It was not easy to recover, but step by step I was relieved
With all these things that had happened, thought I should’ve not believed
But with every mistake there’s a lesson; life must go on,
Remember to put God first, and you will be guided from then on
He’s a man of few words,
and he’s very good with chords
He has a good sense of humor
but he doesn’t like rumors
by: Sheryn Kate Pagco
From me to you
My love for him is endless
because to me, he is priceless
And when I see him,
I can’t help but smile
If I raise my hand towards the velvet black sky
Pray tell, darling, will my thoughts reach you?
As I ponder to reflect,
On the man I most respect,
This man you should adore
because he is my hero and protector
