I've been searching for poems written in Pangasinan language but to no avail. I too am a Pangasinense but I've not written a poem in my native tongue before. I guess it's not too late to start. I hope to come out with an ambitious project -- perhaps a collection of Pangasinan poetry :-) Those who doesn't know or understand the vernacular may be perplexed with the following poem. I am posting it here for the sons and daughters of Pangasinan to come out with contemporary Pangasinense writings. duga pa latan bai natetelek ak lan mandedengel ed sata'y ag napultot yon Ama Mi tan Ave Maria akatangay kayo la ed altar no onsabi la'y ala sais awit yo la ta'y rosarion masile-sileng tan pimmuti la ed kae-emben yo nima'y niluto yo balet inmangob tan atektek la nima'y sira ed palanggana agto ni naurasan nen atsi mikokotoan diman ed biek ya abung nima'y impesak anggapo ni'y angisirom duga pa latan bai, duga la naksel la so kamarerwa yo ed dasal niya ka...

duga pa latan bai
natetelek ak lan mandedengel
ed satay ag napultot yon
Ama Mi tan Ave Maria
akatangay kayo la ed altar
no unsabi lay ala sais
awit yo la tay rosarion
masile-sileng tan pimmuti la
kae-emben yo
nimay niluto yo balet
immangob tan atektek la
nimay sira ed palanggana
agto ni naurasan nen atsi
mikokotoan diman ed biyek ya abung
nimay impesak anggapo ney angisirom
duga pa latan bai, duga la
naksel la so kamalerwa yo ed dasal ...
New splash page uploaded and a preview of the next layout of my site. The splash image is originally a background for my poem entitled Erolalia and intended as a desktop wallpaper. It looks good on a page so I created an interface out of it. And as for the strange writings on the top of the image, that's Alibata or Baybayin (Tagalog script) - an ancient Filipino alphabet. You'll see a lot those on my pages soon. NCCA WRITERS’ PRIZE 2001 The NCCA Writers’ Prize is a grant awarded to five (5) writers, one for each of the following writing genres: novel, essay, short story (including children’s stories), poetry, and translation.

Currently in the news: Billy Collins was named as the 11th U.S. poet laureate succeeding Stanley Kunitz and Robert Pinsky. And if we have a poet laureate here in the Philippines, it would be Cirilo F. Bautista. I am cracking my nutshell over his book entitled " The Trilogy of Saint Lazarus ". His poetry veered away from the lyricism of Jose Garcia Villa. Bautista's work "Sunlight on Broken Stones: The Last in the Trilogy of Saint Lazarus" won the Centennial Literary Contest for Epic Poetry in English .

Just voted for Blogger in the Webby People's Voice award (Personal Site category) first thing today not only to show my appreciation but giving something in return for the excellent, useful free service. So if you're a Blogger user, two minutes would not take that long. Go Vote NOW! As for my suggestion(s) to the Philweavers, looks like it won't materialize but the good news is . . . they're doing the web site already and that's something to wait for . Just updated my listing at www.findpoetry.com. Some search engines and directories indexed my dalityapi.com URL. Well, it was a big mistake on my part when I signed up for that free dotcom domain from NameZero. Yeah, I know I still am a squatter in Yahoo! Geocities -- perhaps until I'm ready to move out. Such a love affair, huh?

The Literary Calendar had a major change in the format and layout. Users and visitors have now the option to register for a free account in order to submit related reviews, news, articles and stories; and/or give comments and participate in the on-going discussions. Dalityapi Unpoemed is the first site to be listed in the Literary Calendar's personal poetry category. And YES! this site too supports the coolstop openNetwork and aortal - the anti-portal. I hope the Philweavers will have something like these independent web resources. I already sent my suggestion(s) to the group's mailing list . . . just waiting for their response .

Last night I heard the voice of my Muse again :-) i sometimes am mute like a broken flute or a mere cacophony of rhythms amaranthine lyrics a poet's sweet or sad a music i am the song of existence ancient as the inaudible sounds of the harmonious spheres incarnated into the inmost self of man when the man returns into the embraces of the earth i shall find a way for my continuity into the wraith of those who have gone away into the unknown spheres of death into the windless realms of the ocean sea
Last night I heard the voice of my Muse again :-)
i sometimes am mute
like a broken flute
or a mere cacophony of rhythms
amaranthine lyrics
a poet's sweet or sad a music
i am the song of existence
ancient as the inaudible sounds
of the harmonious spheres
incarnated into the inmost self of man
when the man returns
into the embraces of the earth
i shall find a way for my continuity
into the wraith of those who have gone away
into the unknown spheres of death
into the windless realms of the ocean sea

The Lucid Interval I've been browsing and reviewing the poetic attempts I've written a few years back. More than a hundreds pages of unpublished, unfinished, and undated works. These are not poems but trifles and fooleries of my youth. I'd try to revise or polish them when I have ample time. There's this distance between me and my muse at the moment -- the distance that hinders the atoms of my mind to be inspired. I guess this is just one of those times when I could only gaze on a blank page whenever I attempt to write, as if I am staring into a void. Yes, this is just one of those times when a poet's or a writer's mind is trapped inside an invisible wall. This is the so-called lucid interval -- a pause, a break, a hiatus -- but this will come into past. In the News: John Mark Eberhart talks with John Updike about Americana: And Other Poems .

New splash/cover page up. Creative productions very slow though I received submissions already for the forthcoming issue of the Makata . Last 05/12/2001 I signed up for a hitbox web site traffic counter and after a month or so here's my ranking result under the Humanities category. Talk about unpopularity, huh? Nexus : Cybersonnet by Michael Barnard -- an interactive electronic poem. Contains explicit language, and is intended for a mature audience.

Poem in a poem (or a poem within a poem) theory: a special and poetic innovation after e. e. cummings' style. The method is to combine two poems or stanzas into one. The second poem must be enclosed in parenthesis for visual distinction . An example from the poem fragments : kiss me (like a bee) so softly (in a rose) love This is the result of combining the lines kiss me so softly love and like a bee in a rose . Go ahead try it and write one yourself :-)

I've removed the guest book and modified the inFront and the Makata sections to display a random image. And I am supposed to add a site meter on this page but the code is in conflict with the Y!Geocities banner. duh! Where's the banner? Hush! Hush! I pressume you can keep a secret Ok, I've edited this post several times already. Well, that's the good thing about blogs; you can change your posts anytime without much ado.

" Redberger version 2: The Preaching Season" is out . . . and it's bloody darn red! Been browsing the web lately searching for articles or essays on the current state of Philippine Literature but to no avail. I found instead a small number of links to personal poetry sites created by Filipinos. I'm hoping that there will be more Filipino poets and writers who would come out of their closet to establish themselves in cyberspace. And if you have ample time to separate the grains from the heap, browse the Poetry Super Highway's Individual Poetry Pages Will no longer convert the January-May issues of Makata using the new layout. I've linked the pages from previous versions instead :-)
