I have asked some of my 4th year high school students to submit a poem about anything in Filipino or English. I am surprised to find out that many of them can really write poems whether in Filipino or English. I have made some editions to share you some of them..

A love professed for someone dear to him.

An admiration for someone he loves,
yet waiting for her to love him back.
================================.
Kung lahat ng tao sa paligid mo iniwan ka
H'wag na h'wag mong iisiping ika'y nag-iisa
Nandito lng ako mag-aalaga sa 'yo
Ibibigay ko sa 'yo lahat-lahat pati sariling buhay ko
Pag ika'y nagkamali sa iyong ginawa
Ipapakita ko sa 'yong hindi ka dapat mahiya
Hahawakan ko nang mahigpit ang iyong kamay
At sasabihin ko sa 'yong "hindi ka dapat malumbay"
Ito ang awitin ng buhay ko
Ang lirics nito ay umiikot sa mundo mo
K'ya please h'wag ka mawawala sa buhay ko
Dahil baka matapos ang "your song" ng buhay ko!!!!
This is lyrical poetry about making a promise to a woman he loves.
