An astonishing poetic tribute to the late heroic former President who has done a lot for the Philippines, dearly written.
People are like trees, with branches and birds to sit on them.
A fine tribute to someone really deserving of praise. Good write.
From Benigno 'Ninoy' Aquino, Jr. to his wife Corazon C. Aquino they changed the meaning of yellow to great courage, love and patriotism to the country. These past few weeks from the start when Mrs. Cory got sick she brought back the spirit of EDSA...'till now at her funeral cortege yellow ribbons, banners, balloons, flowers, confetti etc. showers the city..... Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem my friend. Truly the icon of democracy deserves such praises and tributes....
nice combination between an anaphora and a simile: ''instead of an ol’ oak tree as it used to be'' well written analytical poem................10
nicely done noel..the whole day am in front of the tv to watch the ceremony for the former president..the true portrait of a warrior..a true image of a knight..a humble leader and a mentor..she is dead but she is still alive in the hearts of the people..
This is a nice tribute to our dearly beloved Madam President.You have said it all. thank you for the time and talent you gave.She deserves all the praises.As we say..maraming salamat po at paalam, mahal naming Pangulo. Daghang salamat Sir..
I have read this poem once in the past few days but it is a good thing for me to read it again!
