Sonnet

Nung third year, sumali ako sa sonnet-making sa skul. yung theme e English blah blah, nakalimutan ko na… nakalimutan ko na rin yung title nung na compose ko… tapos ayun… talo… hehe… buti nahanap ko pa sa likod ng luma kong nokbuk… nakalimutan ko nga kung eto ba yung para sa eliminations eh… basta basahin nyo na lang…

I’m the leaf and the whole of us the tree

Let this tree bear fruits of wisdom, knowledge

Let it learn the word of the foreign sea

The word will aid the tree and act as ledge

The word is light that brightens the future

The water that streams through every nation

The paint and color in every picture

The warmth felt in every conversation

The succubus that seduces laughter

The smith that yielded creativity

The waves and currents that lead the rafter

Language will take us out of poverty

Have wisdom, erudition and you’ll see

Language is a big part of history.
