Biography ***** We Are Born As Writers By Birth Poem by Rommel Mark Dominguez Marchan

Who exclaim
writers are profound thinkers
Rich in vocabulary supplies
a walking dictionary
like abundant river
that never run dry

Like cruiser poetic chef
European cuisine mastery
full of seasonings and spices

Like an ironman wordsmith
engraving metallic language sheaths
like communication art architects
building up bridges
to link caliber conversationalists

Writers are not lexicon
doctorate degree holders
not even bona fide
world class excursionists

not even a tounge-twister
ideomatic linguists
can speak thru magic of pen
the countless vernacular tounges
and translate effortlessly
secluded tribal dialects
like the known noble poet
the legendary Jose Rizal
who launched Noli and Fili
books of patriotism and nationalism
our idol gifted guest

Writers are just like you
a simple ordinary fellow
like me, like us
like anybody else
who can portrait old memories
can express mind emotions
can divert wholesome nuggets
thoughts of wisdom into
golden printed words
either written in plain
lay man's term
so susceptible vividly
suiting across the masses heart

We are born as writers by birth
we have been writing voluminous pages
of anything, everything under the sun

written freely by expressions
habitually by art sake
naturally by communications
forcibly by pain

sadly, almost if not all
taken it just for granted
only seldom have treasured it

hopefully, we are counted on
the latter few
