Cephalous Thaddeus thugs the thrombin near the toad
Thundering thunderous voices throb so broad
But when he finally realizes the thrill he thralls
Cephalous Thaddeus touted the toad like unlading troll

Daw gilimot, nawala, ug nahikalimtan mo na sa dayon
Ang himno ug awit sa atong damgo nga gi hiklib ko karon
Kay ang mga tipasi sa kagahapon daw kini haghagonon
Nga nagahaploy sa akong kalawasan tim-os nga handomon

In the presence of my gifted teachers
our classroom becomes a delightful place
In the hands of my gifted teachers
There is laughter in every student's lips

Moonless and sleepless nights I prayed for you, oh Love
The Almighty God touched my soul from heaven above
I tossed and turned all night for am dreaming of you
I love thee with the passion of care so true

In the beginning there was only God
The earth was without form and void
And God said
“Let there be light”

She was turning back
The sigh is so deep
And the silence is deafening.
While she's leaving home,

So, you call me friend
Only to be taken for granted
We shared good memories
Only to be wasted

He fights for his country and the Filipino people
That’s Manny Pacquiao
A featherweight, Bantamweight, and Flyweight champion

Know what you’re fighting for
For if not, it could led to something more
More than anything that had caused you trouble
Trouble making you miserable

I’m not into color, height and looks; she said.
Neither that in fame and action, heavens forbid.
Nor in riches and so hunky if I may call.
But he who got principle: he

Tipaka ug mga pataw sa kagahapon

Grandmother, you are the light of my life,
With your love and wisdom that never strife.
You are the foundation of our family,
With your strength and grace, a symbol of majesty.

The brackish color of the dune
is telling us of our untimely parting.
While it may be a fact
that it pained us a lot,

If there’s anything worth keeping
In the entirety of our lives
That is our family
Anything more

You see, life on top of happiness is so boring
However life tainted with misery is worth living

Hello there. I’m Edgar R. Eslit, a budding poet they say. Jokes in here. Well, seriously, poets please themselves. There is nothing to stop good writers producing work that they like reading. Or what they consider worth reading. A beginner may ask: Do I have the talent to make it as a writer? Tutors handle the matter tactfully, saying that determination is essential to unlock the depths of a writer’s personality and potential. But without increasing absorption, fascination and sheer pleasure in literary craftsmanship, that talent will never see the light of day. Native ability and hard work are essential to poetry, and pleasure is the stimulus to both. So, what’s in Poetry that I like most? Well, I believe poetry will lead us to the superior truth, versatile and wide-ranging, it’s a special mode of knowledge, and it has convenience as it gives sheer pleasure to me and my readers. All these simply give me a sense of fulfillment that somehow my poems are getting someone’s heart grow fonder. Poetry begins in delight and ends in wisdom. - Robert Frost. Poets whom I really admire: Christopher Marlowe, Anthony L. Tan, William Shakespeare, Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, Rudyard Kipling, Geoffrey Chaucer, John Donne, Dylan Thomas, Robert Browning, Ben Jonson, Nick Carbo, and John Keats.

Just By A Toad
Cephalous Thaddeus thugs the thrombin near the toad
Thundering thunderous voices throb so broad
But when he finally realizes the thrill he thralls
Cephalous Thaddeus touted the toad like unlading troll
Verily, verily and verily as merry as me so verily
Heard Cephalous Thaddeus relying the airing words to me
Since merrily and verily were spoken so horridly
Cephalous Thaddeus was unlikely misunderstood like me
Now everything and everyone dint ever understand
Me nor Cephalous Thaddeus leisurely lading out of hand
Messages sided resounding like odes weren’t understood
Better stop and hold before everyone’s head-hood explodes
I found music appealing to my ears and I found poetry pleasing to my heart. I need both to propagate better perspective.
The biggest threat to language death is the conscious or unconscious neglect of any family members in not passing their language and traditions to their offspring.
Marriage is not a requirement; it's a lifetime commitment.
A home is not a place and not a space. It's where one learns to value love and peace.
Foul language is not necessary if you want to be heard—good communication does not need any.
Living in a borderless world is like posing your privacy to a pack of wolves.
We don't make our future, but we make our attitude. It's our attitude that make our future.
Excuses are the language of the fool.
The universality of Christian faith can be seen more in action and not in words. That's what Christ died for.
Sowing anger against anyone is like digging a pit for your own grave.
Research is the door to the unknown. Your curiosity is its key.
If you want to change the world, start with your attitude.
Difficulty and sacrifices are intangible pillars of education. Conquering both will not only make you educated person but an inspiration worthy of emulation.
Are you hungry for success? Then be willing to eat your sacrifices. They are dishes for real success.
They said education is expensive. Can you afford to get bankrupt because of ignorance?
Too much of image making is like building a sandcastle on the shore. It can be washed away in a day. So why waste so much of your energy capitalizing your profanity when this will just fade away?
Why wait for tomorrow what you can do for today? Tomorrow is promised to no one. Success awaits the bold and the brave.
In this highly commercialized world, only my love, my respect and my humility are my enduring legacy.
More than concepts, I teach my students how to understand reality and use it as their weapon when they will be facing this highly demanding world on their own.
If you got nowhere else to go, confide your secret silently before you get eaten by your own ego.
