Another poem in Pangasinan dialect. I attempted to translate one of my poems from English into Pangasinan version, but the result came out far too different from the original text. I believe this is one of those cases where poetry is lost in translation.

I've just revived my old offsite guestbook hosted at Pathfinder.gr - a Greek portal. I used to have this in the early version of Dalityapi. If you're not in a habit of signing guestbooks, I hope you'd make an exception on this one *grin* . Check it out now! A line or two will not take that long and I'd surely appreciate your comments, suggestions, and/or critiques pertaining to the site and the works posted here. Revisited: http://noahgrey.com one of the beautiful souls I love online :-)

after the evening rain sip the nectar soup in a sweet cup of a poem in a silent room while the pouring rain beating on the rooftops O listen to its rhythms early in the morn behold Aurora climbing the blue horizon And here's another fragment: drizzles drifting the winds brushing the leaves and my midnight locks i have never known it too audible and too euxine since i last heard of summer In the News: A Great Writer's Apprenticeship While many great Russian writers of the 19th century had family fortunes to back their literary inclinations, Anton Chekhov had no such luck.

after the evening rain
sip the nectar soup
in a sweet cup of a poem
in a silent room
while the pouring rain
beating on the rooftops O
listen to its rhythms
early in the morn
behold Aurora climbing
the blue horizon
And here's another fragment:
drizzles drifting
the winds brushing the leaves
and my midnight locks
i have never known it
too audible and too euxine
since i last heard of summer

Initial folio of my poems written in Pangasinan dialect posted already in the Unpoemed section of this site. I'm not sure if this creative attempt will gain any interest from my fellow Pangasinense. Anyways, I am very proud to say that I probably am the first to post Pangasinan poetry on the web. On the other hand, I submitted some works for the maiden issue of MUSA. I'm crossing my fingers though :-)
