tanka: tagay-garay pagtidlom sa kasubo sa Japan ug pakigsawom uban kang Simeon Dumdum, Jr.

Kay kon ikaw Myke
Ug imong mga pulong
Nagsakay pa lang
Sa kabayo sa dagat
Way hambugerong balod

sagdi lang—dinhi
sa pangpang sa pagmugna
bisan ang bawod
dili gyod makakab-ot
sa pukot sa tanghaga

Ang agoyangyang
Gibanlas wa giniwniw
Sa way batasan
Ug napusgay sa pangpang
Gitindogan sa balak

dinhi ang dugdog
maamang, ug duyogan
sa atong tigmo
ang awit sa agukoy,
mohaw-as sa danguyngoy

Ug ang huyohoy
Tihoy nga nagtakoban
May kantalita
Sa tama nga migulho
Kaisog nga misil-ip

misil-ip kisaw
sa gakidhat nga dagat
kining harana—
manghimbis, mopalutaw
anang mga sirina

Bawod ba kadto?
Kay kalit mitulimbang
Ang kalibotan
Ug nabanlas ang canvas
Ug brutsa ni Hokusai

hokusai, sanglit
gidagit sa aliwas
nga taob lakip
ang imong tingog, lanog
budyong ko alang nimo

hagit sa handurawan

"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."

matod nila, mando nato

"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

salo-salmot

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.
