Aldub Nation (Poem, Song)

By: Noel N. Villarosa

September 28, 2015

The moment I saw you

There was something unusual

The crowd cheered whew

Odd sparked and became mutual

Strange ways to express

Feelings made way in singing

Backing of music, with tenderness

Mysterious voice, people were asking

At the right time, do not rush

Instead, you listen to your elders

Your guides and charted course

With the test of time, be prepared

Chorus:

Ebb and flow

To the currents of life

In Aldub Nation you will see

People are united and liven up

Forget all the worries

For a while, just smile

In love full of hope

So let’s join the Aldub Nation

Refrain:

If you are lonely

Keep track of two lovers

Alden and Maine, picture of true love

True happiness, Filipinos could relate

Prayer of an Overseas Worker

By: Noel N. Villarosa

September 27, 2015

I consumed half of my prime life

And little I know the dark side

I’ve kept apart, sorrows grow rife

In virtual silence, I reside

I kneel down to pray they are well

Sure enough, that keeps them all safe

To quench yearning, in poem I tell

O’er the years to ward off my chafe

Be passive to the fast escape of time

Brings me closer to homecoming

Desire blazed a trail, time to climb

To prey on moments is stunning

Please forgive my ghostly status

For I am the pillar of house

My struggle I offer gratis

A journey with you, sail is douse

Chasing the Internet

By: Noel N. Villarosa

September 17, 2015

The internet is like a ball

Should be passed on to other people

An understanding, my little son shared

Ideal speed most of us desired

Trawling through the internet

Always chasing ideal time to connect

Trapped and engrossed into the network

Manacling idiosyncrasies making them to shirk

Living outside your home country

The Internet is the passageway to your family

It made lives into simpler ones

You need to pay for a better connection

How our senses are altered

Even our thinking was bothered

Time and space that are apart

Uninspired if unable to reach your counterpart

Dark side of the internet

Time quickly runs out and we forget

To socialize with others and feel the real world

As virtual image tried to evolve

Lost Slippers

By: Noel N. Villarosa

Sept. 16, 2015

Spirited little feet, to walk barefoot

Struggles of naked feet sounded a hoot

How the soles have long been unprotected

Stepping on prickly brambles, it collected

The sore feet luckily found one slipper

Color green and had a slit figure

Eagerness suggested bringing it home

Unworthy, hoping the other one will come

Now quilted the torn portion

The feet demanded a replica version

A knitted fabric as temporary ply

To flaunt a style, need to defy

A storm came, there was flooding

Down the river swept many things

Possibly detached and swept downstream

Footwear washed and lodged in bamboo beams

The little one took it and tried to fit

For the right foot, if the size permits

The color yellow and comparatively new

A rightful match showed out of the blue

Green and yellow, beauty and happy

Slippers style worn casually

Gone are the days of sore feet, now snug feet

Living in remote areas denied by cozy sheet

My Little Detective

By: Noel N. Villarosa

September 1, 2015

I saw and first heard

It roared like T-rex and whistled like bird

Underneath the wooden stand shall appear

A finely built little boy wearing a crew cut hair

Far away to the place I stayed

He sometimes banished due to slow internet bandwidth

Turned me into a blank thousand-yard stare

I longed to hear his little jaunt pleasure

He is a picture to reveal my happiness

An allegory to tell my journey’s success

If on a magical-intellectual land of puzzles can inhibit

He is a boon to get me deep through the thicket

A special break in winter, a moment so right

Find the one who likes this color code #4E9258

Whose name is in this code: 16-9-15 14-15-5-12

Reveals a saint's name and my name is involved

Two factors, holy and first Christmas

He is my love, my whole life to embrace

His mother’s face, their likeness you will know

Read the clue, line-by-line as you go

His time so precious that I need to guard

A super sleuth knows how to trap his bard

Now I cracked the code, solved this riddle

He is my little detective, my son “Pio Noel”
