Ang Tubag Ni Dr. Dante Antigua Sa Akong Balak Nga White-Breasted Bird Poem by RIC BASTASA

SA DIHANG MIANTUG AKO NIINING BALAK
KABAHIN SA white breasted bird, to wit:

a white-breasted bird
sits on a twig
of the champaca tree

alone
always alone always

MIBALOS BAYA DAYON si Dante ug
Siya miingon, to wit:

Started reading a crony's poem
excited and determined
in the middle of nowhere
Stopped.
Eyes became heavier
tedium overpowered
the mind in turmoil
maybe start in the morning
with immensely rested mind

bravo! bravo! bravo!
for all the hardwork
those poems to be shared
for everone to accolade

ug ako mobalos pagtubat: towit, towit twit twit
twit twit

lupad akong spirit
of the glass
lupad.
