Red, white an’ blue
Three golden stars an’ a sun
Symbol of sovereignty
Seal of authority
...

They say:

In every man’s success,
There is a woman behind,
...

IImbricated clouds cloaks blasted sunset
Brings memories of yesteryears
Glorious past flashes back on set
Gives my first vision, tears
...

Pyro, Fuego, Fire,
It’s a power, a strength,
A source of light,
Luminescent as solar energy,
...

Before the break of dawn each side prepared battle plans
in a bright bonfires burnt til’ sunrise,
Strategy drawn on sand not on a piece of paper,
indigenous warriors rallied about the Datu,
...

A young bird sat on tree branch,
looks here and there,
as if nothing to do
Confused whether to scream
...

Swing here, swing there
To and fro
Hold on tight altogether
We’re taking off bro?
...

Come into this world
Oh naked child
Cry not for mater’s love
Innocent you
...

Perfumes starry night
wafts the air, florid scent
wraps round svelte neck
of a Lady’s knight
...

Wiser now, ready to mount,
Draws sword, charges forward,
Marches in tantrum, nev'r look backward,
Aging cannot daunt
...

(1) Is like lightning bolt splits heaven in half
(2) It shakes the earth in moments laugh
(3) Causes onerous rumbling sound
(4) Sways ev’ry thing around
...

A true friend isn’t really your father,
isn’t really your mother,
isn’t even your sister or brother,
not even a son or a daughter,
...

An acrostic (from the late Greek akróstichis, from ákros, 'top', and stíchos, 'verse') is a poem or other form of writing in an alphabetic script, in which the first letter, syllable or word of each line, paragraph or other recurring feature in the text spells out a word or a message.

Far down South China Sea
Indigenous brave men and women lives
...

Looking up the blue sky
Cloudless and bright
It’s time to think ‘bout you
Could see your ev’r smiling face
...

Born are we poor or rich
Humbly dressed but not hungry
Vagrant aren't we, arms outstretched
Can’t afford to be angry
...

A bunch of red roses,
box of dark chocolate,
A jewelry chest,
music box,
...

When ol’ man a lonely,
he needs one an' only,
loyal mate a cheerful,
all the way a blissful
...

A remarkable gift
from the Creator
to human beings
is Free Will
...

Walking down valley ways
Across meadows, creeks,
Upon lagoons, moonlight bays
Russet twigs breaks
...

(A tribute to the late Pres. Cory Aquino
1933-2009)
