PHF Dugtungang Tula

[eufsangels]

Maikling tula ay aking naalala
Pati pangalan nitong manunula
Masarap talagang maging makata
Lalo kung ang puso ang nagsasalita...


Meeting At Night
by Robert Browning

I.
The grey sea and the long black land;
And the yellow half-moon large and low;
And the startled little waves that leap
In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
And quench its speed i' the slushy sand.

II.
Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;
Three fields to cross till a farm appears;
A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
And blue spurt of a lighted match,
And a voice less loud, thro' its joys and fears,
Than the two hearts beating each to each!

[eufsangels]

Magandang gabi mga kapanalig
Muli na namang ako ay umiibig
Isang maikling tula aking ididilig
Kasabay ng ihip ng hanging malamig...


O Lady Moon
by Christina Rossetti

O Lady Moon, your horns point toward the east:
Shine, be increased;
O Lady Moon, your horns point toward the west:
Wane, be at rest.

[eufsangels]

Magandang umaga sa inyo mga ginigiliw
Sa mga oras na ito, sana kayo'y naaaliw
Aking ihahatid ang tulang kasabay ay agahan
Makaluma't banyagang aking nasumpungan...

 
Easter
by George Herbert

I got me flowers to straw Thy way,
I got me boughs off many a tree;
But Thou wast up by break of day,
And brought'st Thy sweets along with Thee.

Yet though my flowers be lost, they say
A heart can never come too late;
Teach it to sing Thy praise this day,
And then this day my life shall date.

[eufsangels]

Magandang umaga mga kapanalig
Sana, araw ninyo'y maging siksik-liglig
Sa umagang itong lubhang malamig
Alay ang tulang galing sa kabilang daigdig...


Forebearance
by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hast thou named all the birds without a gun;
Loved the wood-rose, and left it on its stalk;
At rich men's tables eaten bread and pulse;
Unarmed, faced danger with a heart of trust;
And loved so well a high behavior
In man or maid, that thou from speech refrained,
Nobility more nobly to repay?
O be my friend, and teach me to be thine!

[eufsangels]

Mga binatang taring kayo ba'y may nililiyag
Huwag lang hayaang mga mata'y magmatyag
Baka sa kalaunan ay hindi mo na namalayan
Binibining nililiyag ay na-upos na ang kariktan...


When Roses cease to bloom, Sir
by Emily Dickinson

When Roses cease to bloom, Sir,
And Violets are done --
When Bumblebees in solemn flight
Have passed beyond the Sun --
The hand that paused to gather
Upon this Summer's day
Will idle lie -- in Auburn --
Then take my flowers -- pray!

[eufsangels]

Ang init ng ulo ay dapat pigilin
Upang ang araw mo'y gumaling
Ano ba ang dapat nating gawin
Bulsa de yelo sa ulo'y paglapatin...


Dust of Snow
by Robert Frost

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

[eufsangels]

Dalagang mabini ay tunay na kaakit-akit
Dahil mga salita at kilos ay pawang marikit
Bihira nang makikita ang ganitong tanawin
Panahon ni Maria Clara'y panaginip na rin...


Quiet Girl
by Langston Hughes

I would liken you
To a night without stars
Were it not for your eyes.
I would liken you
To a sleep without dreams
Were it not for your songs.

[eufsangels]

Magandang umaga mga kapatid
Sana'y maaliwalas ang ating paligid
Mga ngiti sa labi ang siyang mamasid
At bawat mga puso'y puno ng pag-ibig...


Cherry Ripe
by Robert Herrick

Cherry-ripe, ripe, ripe, I cry,
Full and fair ones; come, and buy:
If so be you ask me where
They do grow? I answer, there
Where my Julia's lips do smile;--
There's the land, or cherry-isle;
Whose plantations fully show
All the year where cherries grow.

[eufsangels]

Ikaw ay tinuturing kong isang palalo
Matalim ang dila na parang luko-luko
Ano ba ang balak at ika'y walang modo
Mabait kong kaibiga'y pinalis na parang abo...


The Toucan
by Shel Silverstein

Tell me who can
Catch a toucan?
Lou can.

Just how few can
Ride the toucan?
Two can.

What kind of goo can
Stick you to the toucan?
Glue can.

Who can write some
More about the toucan?
You can!

[eufsangels]

Dalawang kaibigang kong nawala
Dalanging kong makabalik, harinawa
Tayo'y magpipiging nang walang sawa
Isisigaw ay katapatan at pagkakaisa

Ang PHF ay mabuti, ito ang sabi nila
Hindi na ako magdadalawang salita
Dito nabuo ang malalim na samahan
Walang hanggan ang pagkakaibigan...

[eufsangels]

Magandang gabi mga kaibigan
Isang tulang aking kinalugdan
Aking ipipinta dito sa dugtungan
Kahit na puro sapot at nakalimutan...

Dust in the Eyes
by Robert Frost

If, as they say, some dust thrown in my eyes
Will keep my talk from getting overwise,
I'm not the one for putting off the proof.
Let it be overwhelming, off a roof
And round a corner, blizzard snow for dust,
And blind me to a standstill if it must.

[eufsangels]

Maligayang bati sa sapot na nangunguna
Pati na rin sa mga alagad na nakikibaka
Nawa ang araw nati'y maging maganda
At pakiramdam ay maging kahali-halina!!!

Magandang umaga PHF!!!


 

[Toshio Abe]

Magandang araw din sa'yo Cabalyerong Cavitenyo
Sa pagtudla mong ito ako muli ay naenganyo
Puso ko ay nagliyab at bumalik sa aking ala-ala
Itong paghabi ng isang tula na matagal ng nawala

[eufsangels]

Maraming salamat kapwa ko Calabarzonian
Kaibigang Emil kung ika'y aking pangalanan
Hindi basta-basta ang pag-tula ng mainam
Dahil ito'y sadyang kakaibang karunungan

Nasaan na nga ba ang mga batikan??
Arniebartley, tampogi o' itong si Alasan
Araw ay gaganda kung aking masumpungan
Obra-maestra nilang nakahabi sa Dugtungan...

[eufsangels]

Dilang masama ay 'wag tularan
Parang isang propetang bulaan
Dito sa PHF dulot ay kasiyahan
Kaya umasal ng may pagpipitagan...
