Change

By: Angela Mañalang Gloria

A poem where the author speaks, structured with a rhyme scheme of abab and a
consistent syllable count of 10, that shows the image of her outgrowing her innocent days. She
denotes these loves that she once had as something that had touch her life in different ways and
duration but still these were things that she got over with, it directs how she will get over the
dream-like love she is trying to let go of. In the second stanza, she is determined that her feelings
will change unwaveringly. That connotates the phrase of this jeweled ecstasy for something new
as she wavers her feelings to hold on to the past and reach for the new.
The poem gives out a sense of hope and anticipation that the love she feels will also flee
like the others she had mentioned, while speaks about the experience of the author with the
things that she had to let go to grow. Used a Number of Imagery by interpreting how or what
happens, Metaphor in the Golden Calf giving it other meaning than it is meant. Hyperbole in
burned my days.

Speak Not
By: Soledad R. Juan
The author speaks about a poem that is structured with a rhyme scheme of abab and a
consistent syllable count of 10. That depicts the author stating that she wishes not to be told
about a fancy gathering but instead be told about the quiet and peace where her interest lays
about. The piece denotates how the author dislikes the fancy social gathering event, while at the
end she shared her own kind or meaning of fancy. Connotates how she can travel the world a
million times a day as how she can take things through her imagination.
The poem gives the mood of joy with just being alone with your imagination. The poem
gives the idea to the reader of how the author lives with the pleasure of enjoying her own version
of fancy life while being at peace and quiet surroundings along with her imagination and joyful
hours alone. Using a number of imageries that express and the scenery of the story, and made her
audience feel the way she feels about her Fancy.
