Poetry (derived from the Greek poiesis, "making"), also called verse, is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language − such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre − to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, a prosaic ostensible meaning. A poem is a literary composition, written by a poet, using this principle.
Poetry has a long and varied history, evolving differentially across the globe. It dates back at least to prehistoric times with hunting poetry in Africa and to panegyric and elegiac court poetry of the empires of the Nile, Niger, and Volta River valleys. Some of the earliest written poetry in Africa occurs among the Pyramid Texts written during the 25th century BCE. The earliest surviving Western Asian epic poetry, the Epic of Gilgamesh, was written in Sumerian.
Early poems in the Eurasian continent evolved from folk songs such as the Chinese Shijing, as well as religious hymns (the Sanskrit Rigveda, the Zoroastrian Gathas, the Hurrian songs, and the Hebrew Psalms); or from a need to retell oral epics, as with the Egyptian Story of Sinuhe, the Indian epic poetry, and the Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Ancient Greek attempts to define poetry, such as Aristotle's Poetics, focused on the uses of speech in rhetoric, drama, song, and comedy. Later attempts concentrated on features such as repetition, verse form, and rhyme, and emphasized the aesthetics which distinguish poetry from more objectively-informative prosaic writing.
Poetry uses forms and conventions to suggest differential interpretations of words, or to evoke emotive responses. Devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia, and rhythm may convey musical or incantatory effects. The use of ambiguity, symbolism, irony, and other stylistic elements of poetic diction often leaves a poem open to multiple interpretations. Similarly, figures of speech such as metaphor, simile, and metonymy establish a resonance between otherwise disparate images—a layering of meanings, forming connections previously not perceived. Kindred forms of resonance may exist, between individual verses, in their patterns of rhyme or rhythm.
Some poetry types are unique to particular cultures and genres and respond to characteristics of the language in which the poet writes. Readers accustomed to identifying poetry with Dante, Goethe, Mickiewicz, or Rumi may think of it as written in lines based on rhyme and regular meter. There are, however, traditions, such as Biblical poetry, that use other means to create rhythm and euphony. Much modern poetry reflects a critique of poetic tradition, testing the principle of euphony itself or altogether forgoing rhyme or set rhythm.
In an increasingly globalized world, poets often adapt forms, styles, and techniques from diverse cultures and languages. Poets have contributed to the evolution of the linguistic, expressive, and utilitarian qualities of their languages.
A Western cultural tradition (extending at least from Homer to Rilke) associates the production of poetry with inspiration – often by a Muse (either classical or contemporary).
In many poems, the lyrics are spoken by a character, who is called the speaker. This concept differentiates the speaker (character) from the poet (author), which is usually an important distinction: for example, if the poem runs I killed a man in Reno, it is the speaker who is the murderer, not the poet himself.
Quarrels, fights, and distrust
Suffocates like dust
Rage and jealousy adds up
A wall so high I have put up
She was she
As delicate as a paper mache
Weak in the inside
Strongest at my side
Jealous, she easily gets
Proof she was a human indeed
The part of her I hated
The part of her I'll always...
Sumabay sa dilim at bukang liwayway
Anino mo sa diwa'y nagliliwanag
Pikit mata na ikaw ay tinatanaw
Kahit malayo ika'y nababanaag
Kasalukuya'y sa kahapon lumingon
Takbo ng oras ay gumapang pabalik
Sa alaala mo ang laya'y nakulong
Damdaming sayo'y 'di nagsawang
masabik
Sulyap sa titig mo'y...
sa 'yong pagtalikod puso ko'y isama
sa mga hakbang palayo luha ko'y iwan muna
'wag tumingin pabalik, mata'y ititig
umaga'y darating kapalit ng pagibig
sa isip ko'y andyan ka lagi
alaala ng kahapong napakaigi
umalis ka man ngayon at sa iba'y humalik
puso kong dala mo 'wag mo nang ibalik
ligaya...
Let's start by simply saying: Kamusta ang lahat, Ako'y gumawa ng tula. Para ika'y mapatulala.

Torpe at malihim akong tao kaya sa tula ko nailalabas ang aking mga damdamin,
nakakamiss lang yung ganitong mga feeling ngayon kasi puro carreer, girl friend at games na lang umiikot ang mundo ko.
Sana wag lang ma bash, may ibang grammar at terms talaga na napansin kong sabit pero hinayaan ko...
para sa mga pagkakataong malungkot ang mundo
at hindi makatulog ang mga tao
dahil sa mga problemang bumabalot sakanila
maaari ba tayong magpahinga
at bitawan ang kalasag at mga sandata
upang itigil na muna ang digmaan sa loob ng ating isipan
patahanin na natin ang ating mga sarili

Korapsyon ay isang sakit
Na laging binibigyang pansin
Ngunit kahit anong pilit
Ay hindi maalis-alis
Mga kurap lalong dumadami
Tuwing Eleksyo’y sasapit
Kanilang mukha’y sa diding nakasabit
Na animo’y mga anghel na kay bait
Kanilang mga pangakong sinasambit
Sa mga kababayang naghihinagpis
Na...
Litrato nila'y nagkalat
Nagmamakaawang sa balota ngalan nila ay masulat
Pero pag-umupo at tapos na ang lahat
Pag bigay ng tulong sila ay barat
Pangako'y dinaan sa mabulaklak na salita
Mga tulong daw para sa dukha
Ganyan naman sila sa simula
Pag kailangan na'y tskA wala
Dumadalo din sa...
Acceptance
Even thou i can't feel the love I want...
Im still here until the demands i need can be feel it
love doesnt care about beauty and attitude
real love is the one who arrows your gratitude...
She say's that she is the horrible person i met
but i say she's the girl i don't want to...
Ang ibabaw ng mundo,
Dusa, pighati dulot nito
Andaming nakatingin, nakakabulag
Andaming naririnig, puno ng talak
Malalim na, mas lumalalim pa
Paano ako maisasalba?
Ang dilim, paano papatayin,
Luha at takot, paano kakayanin?
Walang tumutulong, nilalampasan ako,
Sa dilim ay tila nalulunod ako.
1. ₱0.10 lang ang pamasahe, kandong libre pa.
2. Ang babae lang ang may hikaw.
3. Ang preso lang ang may tattoo.
4. Si Erap, Jinggoy, Bong Revilla at Lito Lapid ay sa showbiz section lang ng diyaryo nababasa. Ngayon headlines na.
5. Ang intindi mo ng LOL ay ULOL imbes na Laughing Out Loud...
Neither our vices nor our virtues
further the poem. “They came up
and died
just like they do every year
on the rocks.”
The poem
feeds upon thought, feeling, impulse,
to breed itself,
a spiritual urgency at the dark ladders leaping.
This beauty is an inner...
The sun is setting
The moon is glaring
But girl,
Your smile makes me feel like stargazing
There’s a lot of things a star can show
Shiny bright lights or pretty dim low
But girl,
When you open those eyes, everything goes slow
People on earth makes it heavy
I am a little bit wary
But girl,
The...
Images of an Impending War
The white dead dove
Defeated by hatred and fear
Its eyes towards the sky
Sinks in a sea of innocent blood
Overflowing with disappointment and hope.
Rivers of blood
Deserts of solitude
Oceans of tears
Eyes lost towards a horizon
Where love and peace are only...
Manga Ka PHC baka pede nyu ko tulongan sa school project ko pinapagawa kasi kami nang poem bawal daw google eh saka bubu ako sa english
5 Stanza daw po
Mali akong iniwan kita,
Iniwan ka dahil wala na akong nadarama.
Ayaw ko nang ipilit, ayaw ko nang magsalita,
Ayaw kong nakikita kang nagmamakaawa.
Hindi ako para sa'yo, tanggap ko na ito,
Di ko kayang punan ang patlang sa buhay mo.
Wag na nating patagalin pa,
Para sayo rin kung bakit iniwan kita.
Nagmahal lang ako, ano ang mali?
May batayan ba kung sino, dapat ba'y may sukli?
Ang daming sinasabi, puno nang panghuhusga,
Laging binababa, pilit pinapatay sa tuwina.
Kailan kaya magiging maayos ang mundo?
Wala na sanang panghuhusga, walang panloloko.
Ang mali at tama, ako lang ang...
i dedicate this to the one that got away. :)
My heart beats ever faster
Every time we are together
I hope time moves slower
So i could be with you longer
i could take anything head on
Because you are my reason
With you i'd toss away my pride
And give you my heart open wide
Even if i am...
Masaya, masakit, malungkot,
Anumang gawin ay nababagot.
Simula ng nawala ka ako'y nag iba,
Di makilala, laging natutulala.
Inaamin ko, maling pakawalan ka,
Pero anong magagawa ko kung nasasakal ka na?
Nais ko ikaw ay maging masaya,
Ang nakakalungkot lang, masaya ka sa iba.
Pasensya sa mga...
hello again. as the title suggests, this poem is called broken. this is one of my experiences told through a poem.
I am like glass
Pieces are shattered
You made it clear in the past
That it woudnt have mattered
I thought my feelings were true
And ended up hurting you
When will i pay my due?
I...
Siya ang aking takbuhan
sa oras na kailangan
sa oras na umuulan
ng luha saking mga mata
Siya ang aking taga payo
sa oras na magulo
ang isip at puso ay
hindi nagtatagpo
Siya ang aking ina
na laging handa
na magbigay ng oras at panahon
upang mapunan ang pagkukulang
Sa mundong magulo
Siya...
Di na kita mahal ..
Wag mong iisipin na
Di kita kayang ipagpalit ..
Di na kita kailangan ..
Wag mong iisipin na
Di kita kayang iwanan..

Now read upwards.
Been a while since I posted a poem
Why are you building and destroying
Heavy worlds in your mind
Can you hear the gentle calling
Of the dreams you couldn't find
Against the storms, you wouldn't yield
But know there is a limit to your shield
Your past is the one that you wield and,
Your past...
we are metaphors
twisting in time.
you are my words,
and i am your lines.
we are paragraphs
blooming with prose.
our hands never stop
with an ending and close.
we are two poets,
we say no goodbyes.
but you ran out of words.
and i ran out of rhymes.
tell me,
should I stop or continue?
tell...
A myriad of terrors bubbles from my spine
I climb out but it suffocates
And then I fall yet again
The nightly fears do not frighten me
For under the covers of my sheet
I am warm, I am safe
And the comforting lie of my dreams
Is a better company
It wasn't the night that frightens me...
Kahit saan saan, nandyan ka
Laging nakikita ng aking mata
Gustong makamit ang iyong ganda
Pero bakit ang hirap mahalin ka
Tuwing ako ay iyong nakikita
Laging sambit mo ay problema
Ako naman ay laging nakatunganga
Hindi naman ako ang Maylikha
Puro ka na lang ex, bakit nga ba
Tanong ko na lang...
Matagal tagal na
Taon na ang binilang,
buwan at oras na ang lumipas,
naalala pa kaya nila ako?
naiisip pa kaya nila ako? yung iba alam ko oo, nagpaparamdam sa facebook pero yung iba nakikita ko yung mga post na iba na ang mga kasama, sa kahit anong gala, sa kahit anong trip, mapa swimming...
Mata naman ay namumugtong
Tila yata ay tayo'y isang bugtong
Di ka nakagapos, di to kulungan
Sabihin mo, ano pa ba ang kulang
Lagi na lang gumugunita sa panahon
Kailan ba haharapin ang ngayon
Hindi masama ang sumilakbo
Ngunit may hangganan din ang puso
Sayong puso ako ay napahumaling
Sayong...
Stop from seeking
I will not be around
Stop from calling
I can't hear any sound.
You left me alone
Insensitive as I cry on
Ended through a phone
Until now, clueless with your reason.
I'm not the one you can talk to
I'm not the one who can be with you
I'm not the one you used to
I'm not that...
Stop from seeking
I will not be around
Stop from calling
I can't hear any sound.
You left me alone
Insensitive as I cry on

Until now, clueless with your reason.
I'm not the one you can talk to
I'm not the one who can be with you
I'm not the one you used to

See the blood in your hands
From the wicked life you've judged
Look at me straight in the eye and
Tell me, "Justice has been served."
Look at the despair in their eyes
Those who could do nothing but cower
From the punishment of their vice
They can't be buried any lower
With their...
Note:
Hindi ako magaling sa Tagalog--but I tried. Ginawa ko to habang nagjojogging. Hahahaha.
Ninakaw mo ang aking
Huling kikiam at fishball
Ninakawa mo ang kamay ko
Nung nalunod ka sa mall
Ninakaw mo ang mga
Salita mula sa aking labi
Andami kong naisip
Di ko man lang masabi-sabi
Ninakaw mo...

As if I'd do anything for you
You aren't worth my time
I don' t think about you, it's true
Even though you seem so fine
As if I'd make a poem for you
You're not the only thing on my mind
Did I say you're on my mind?
You're not!
Stop looking at me
If you would be so kind
As if I've...
May ginawa akong tula para kay special someone.
We started with a poem and naging ritual na gagawa ako ng poem as a reply.
May mga inside jokes dito but I hope it still amuses you.

Paano nga ba tayo nagsimula
Kailan isinulat ang tadhana

Stares
I stare at you
With curiousity as a child
Cause how can one love someone
Who doesn't love herself
I stare at you
With uncertain eyes
Cause how can one accept
So many pains and so many scars
I stare at you
Under the moonlit night
I may be surrounded by demons
But you cast them away with...
I’m willing to become the stone bridge.
Enduring 500 years of the ruthless wind.
500 years of the burning sun.
500 years of the freezing rain.
Just… to catch a glimpse of you passing by.
I’m afraid
I’ve made
no impact
in anyone’s
life.
If I was gone
for a long
time, they’d
forget I was
ever there
to begin
with.
This skin
I wear
and the mind
within me
will always
hold a fear
that my
presence was
never near
anyone’s
heart.
How can
someone enjoy
my presence...
To the man i've been loving until now
Hope you still remember those things somehow
Sharing moments, happiness or sorrow
You mean a lot to me, hope you still know.
In every second, i still remember
The flowers you gave, with a teddy ****
Sacrifices for me to be better
Each time of my life, you...
