pag-ihap sa aninipot ug bitoon

“Floyd is a good character, it’s hard work but I hope he would just stop the poems….” -- Ricky Hatton, bahin sa iyang tigbansay nga si Floyd Mayweather Sr., Tempo, March 6, 2009

Dong Floyd, paminaw:
Sipiti usa nang imong balak, ayaw’g ipalagdas
Dugay nang nangamatay ang mga burokinto,
Ayaw intawn hasola! tingalig mangabanhaw.
Maayo unta kon himoon ka nilang manulonda diha
Sa paraisong nawagtang, unsaon nalang kon ila
Kang idayan-dayan sa impyerno.

Dryden, Swift, Shakespeare, Donne,
Milton, Johnson, Sidney, Addison.

Mangamig ang adlaw inig landong sa ilang anino.
Unya ang mga buhi naa nag-alirong, nagsud-ong,
Morag mga bagis andam mokuniskunis.
Mao nga ayaw gyod usa iplastar
Isulod usa sa malita, butangi’g kalburo
Unya patun-ogi inig abot sa Las Vegas
Hala, iladlad kanang mga libaong

Sa imong nawong.

Tan-awon nato di ba sila pul-an.
Kay lagi ikaw man ang gitugyanan
Tig-ihap sa mga aninipot ug bitoon.
Mao nga inig bagting sa kampana,
pagbukhad nalag banig
Kay sigurado sa tingog niining Bisayaa
Hatton mahinanok bisan way
Tabyogtabyog, di mag-agig duka:
“Para sa ‘yo ang laban na to…”

"Reimmersion (in native culture) is not an end in itself; it is to define more clearly the native grounds on which the Cebuano poet stands, the local parameters of language and experience, toward the end that he can stand in the world confident in the singular value of his own voice...

To conserve and extend the resources to which the Cebuano poet is heir by enhancing the natural rhythms of native speech, cultivating the rich concreteness of dialect, and confronting the particulars of his social experience...

The Cebuano poet today does not come upon a language that is already there, ready to use; he has to recreate it not only out of the rawness of daily speech but summon out of language that which has already fallen away from common consciousness and use."

"What could I say at all without my roots?... What could I say without coming to ground?... and I took no journey other than the return."
-- Pablo Neruda

"And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."
-- T.S. Eliot

"The work of language deserves our greatest care, for the tongue’s fire may devour the world, or may light the way."
-- Scott Russell Sanders

"Memory that yearns to join the centre, a limb remembering the body from which it has been severed, like those bamboo thighs of the god… The personal vocabulary, the individual melody whose metre is one's biography, joins in that sound, with any luck, and the body moves like a walking, a waking island."
-- Derek Walcott

"We ascend, from the infinite pit of our perceptions, to the finite life of words."
-- William Bronk

Ari mo! Ambi, atong tilawan ang imong tampo. Palihog ipadala lang ang tinagik nga balak ug sugilanon ngadto sa geemyko@gmail.com.

Kinahanglang bag-o pang haon ang mugna nga imong buot idalit. Ang tigpasiugda ug tigdumala (moderator) niining balayan gapanilap sa katungod nga mopili ug modumili sa tampo. Tugotan pod unta siya og higayon nga mosugyot pagdugang og asin kon matab-angan usahay, pasabwan kun paughan gamay imong hinukad. Mao'y tumong ining balayan ang mamugnaong paghalingay ug pagsaw-anay sa atong gidalit. Kon gibalibaran, palihog ayaw og tyabaw. Ayaw tawon pamaak. Lagmit wala lang mobukal ang lana sa tigdumala kabahin sa timailhan sa tinuod nga wakwak.
