Reviews

[Sir Joe]

Who wouldn't feel grateful and pleased if his name has been included in a literary piece and has been described positively?

Thank you for letting my name appear on this poem of yours, Ms. Dhaye. Your friendliness, coupled with creativity, has given birth to this concrete poem. =)

[Dhaye]

Thanks, SJ. Glad you read and review my work after a long time. Lol.

[Eddie Davis]

Nice tribute poem and really neat how you formatted it.

[Dhaye]

Thanks, Eddie. It's a concrete poetry which I have learned from Sir Ency Bearis. I't one of my fave forms of poetry. =)

[Dhaye]

I just found out that my old friends came here just for some moments. I want to post this for a day as a tribute to our group. =)

[NeiL ArandA]

Now I see, You have a bunch of poets and writers in your circle of influence . I'm excited to meet each and everyone of them . I hope they won't expect too much. Poetry is still an uncharted territory for me.

[Dhaye]

Have I invited you to our Kabayan group? You will meet 40+ Kabayans there. I'll send you request if I haven't made any request then. Actually, Sir Joe and I got the idea of creating the group after meeting each 5 of us last summer. Our number is becoming bigger here. Don't worry. You're just talented more than you know. Happy writing, Kabayan!

[NeiL ArandA]

I got it Dhaye. Request granted.

[Dhaye]

Okay, thanks. Welcome to our group. Enjoy sipping tea while talking with each other. Let us inspire each other. We are brothers and sisters here. God bless!

[NeiL ArandA]

Ok i just did one for Pax . Hope you'll find it interesting. Please let me know what you think. I hope they will like me...

[Dhaye]

I'm sure they will.

[Cassie]

I have been searching for my name...#sob Sob#...Nice though to pay a tribute to friends in wc

[Dhaye]

Lol. I just chose my fellow Filipino friends because those terms I used where the characteristics of each other as I observed.

Thanks, Cassie.

If it was not a sign of vanity I could have copied and pasted that description you have had for me. I really love how you have said it, with an exclamatory point. I felt greatful and is still greatful that I fitted in your standard of beauty and brain-kind-of-woman.

I have been here for a year and three months now to be exact, but I never revealed my location loudly, anyway I am still proud that you were able to unite your Kababayans, here in your page, because of this tribute. For us Filipinos, being in a very unfriendly environment it is quite a struggle to serve our passion for art specifically for writing, but here we are trying so hard to serve both our "needs" and "wants".

You are a Sunshine, Dhaye. Thank your again for this.

[Dhaye]

You, my Kabayans here are my inspiration why I'm still standing out of many conflicts I encountered as a new writer. Some may have misunderstood my behavior (being makulit and friendly) but I just want you to know that I always believe we Filipinos should treat each other as brothers and sisters, help each other and stop the "crab mentality" that is always seen on us in any part of the world which has been a part of our history.

Ms. Belle, I'm glad that you have spared your time in this simple piece of mine.

By the way, I really admire beautiful faces here, and I found out your picture in your photo album which I commented on that you looks like a celebrity (I don't know if you have read it). As a painter, I can easily get attracted with a woman's face or figure which is one of my common subjects in painting. I only show one in my album for I am a little bit shy about that subject. Lol.

More power to you!

[Belle]

Re-acknowledging this! Obviously you are again in a blissful state seeing your "mga Kababayan" back on here...for the love of writing, I offer a toast for you on this...

[Dhaye]

Yes, my friend. Seeing all of you makes me inspired again. Sabi ko nga kina Pax, masaya na ang lola nyo pag nakikita ang mga apo nya. LOL. Thanks for the visit.
