Dedication

This Poetry book I dedicate to my family. So I can

show them how thankful I am to have them. I

dedicated this to my family because I can’t create

this poetry book if I didn’t exist on earth, because I

can’t see it and describe the things.

Paolo Caring, helpful, short

Son of Allan and Beth Lover of watching, sleeping, resting

Who feels relaxed during holidays, lazy in homework , sleepy during classes

Who gives love, money, food Who fears projects, homework, tests

Who would like to see USA, France, Dubai Who lives in Vietnam, Hanoi

Ode to My Shoes

You are like foam,

Very soft to my feet;

And give me a comfortable walk.

Every time I run or walk,

You make this sound tip tap tip tap tip

tap.

You’re my shoes,

And I’m lucky to have you.

Black lace and blue straps,

Look cool for me.

Straps and laces, like a seatbelt

That holds securely when I run or walk.

Like pillows for my feet,

Soft landing on the ground.

Black, gray and blue,

You look good.

My partner in sports.

Your style and color,

The one I like.

Every time I run or walk,

You make this sound tap tap.

You’re my shoes,

And I’m lucky to have you.

You smell like a dead rat

But still useful for me.

Like my family

Very important to me.

Simbang Gabi Pasko na naman Muli nating ipinagdiriwang Ang kaugaliang ating kinagisnan Simbang Gabi ! Malayo man tayo Sa bayang sinilangan, Ang mga ala-ala natin Ay nasa ibayong karagatan. Minsan pa nating nauulinig Tunog ng kampana, Sa lumang simbahan. Banda'y lumilibot sa boong bayan, Tumututog, mga tao'y Ginigising sa higaan. Madaling -araw pa lamang, Ang haring araw ay di pa Sumisilip sa Silangan Nguit ang mga tao Ay patungo na sa simbahan. Nang matapos na ang misa Manga tao'y naglabasan na, Namimili ng puto, suman at bibingka, Sa mga tindahan sa kalsada. Merong puto-bungbong, Merong puto maya, Putong-puti at maja blanka. Mabangong pinipig at suman sa liihya. Bata't matanda ay pauwina, Bawa't isa'y may bitbit- Na pasaluboing sa mga Naiwan sa bahay na tulog pa. Bawa't bahay na madaanan nila, Ay may nagsabit-sabit na parol Na pagkay gaganda! May puti, may lungtian, At kay ririkit na pula. Namamanaag na ang Haring Araw Nangag sitilaok na ang mga Tandang, Sa may puno ng hagdanan, Ang iba'y nagbalik sa higaan, Ang iba namay nangag pasyalan. Tayo ay magpasalamat sa Poong maykapal, Tayo ay nakapagdiriwang ng Simbang Gabi, Kahit malayo sa mga mahal sa buhay, Na nasa Pilipinas, ating Inang Bayan! Nene Estrada

The title of this poem is Simbang Gabi made by Nene Estrada. The poem is

about the things that Filipino catholic do before the 25th of December. It is

the mass that you wake up at 1:00 am and go to a church and you celebrate the

mass together with catholic people. Catholic people attend this mass for nine

days series of Masses in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary in anticipation

of Christmas. I chose this poem because my mother told this poem, but also

the writer of the poem is sending a nice message to Roman Catholics in the

Philippines.

Fan

Fans are good to have

They help us to become cool

And overcome heat

Lions

Lions are scary

They love to eat antelopes

They terrified us

My Best friend

A brave caring dog

Energetic, fast going

Having instinctive joy

Keeps loving me

Never over play

Quick reflexes

So to us very wonderful

Xtraordinary

Silver Ring That I don't Know I see a silver ring Like a donut that has a hole In the middle And a little bit rusty at the other side of the ring. I think it's a ring use for structures To keep it connected to each other. I think it's made by human That loves structures. I wonder who invented this object And when it was created? I wonder what is the name of the object And how much is it?
