I don't receive invitation too often and this one could be an opportunity but I don't have the means to go to the said World Writers Festival in India. Perhaps I could tap some support from our Local Government in Pangasinan but I am not so sure if I could get any.

So, anyone interested to go? You might want to tag me along :)

159th sonnet added to Malagilion: Soniton Pangasinan.

sonito 159

(tagleey na tobundaan)

aya la so sankabilongetan
ya panaon da'ra'y umaanlong
dia ed maluyag a Caboloan

nen linmesa 'ra'y siping a dila
ed saray atagey ya aoiran
naandi'y asin na ilalam da
laut la'ra'y oala'd kalangoeran

kalabas na pigaran dikada
naepel la'ra'y kanonotan da
ed saray tongtong tan pangoliran
(a)taoir ed saray atateng da

dapo la'ra'd dalin a nianakan
matatas ni'ra'd dila'y Ibali
nen say abangonan dan lingguahi
