Kain, Suot, Sulat

By: Calypso

Kung ang UP ay pagkain

Masarap siya

Pangmidnight snack

Sweet but toxic.

Kung ang UP ay sapatos

Colorful ‘to

Red, black, yellow

Stylish and new.

Kung ang UP ay panulat

Sarap dalhin

Ipagyabang

Handy and cute.

Workshop Group Work #6:

We catch the words, as if they’re chocolate marshmallows

Fluffy sentences in my head, sweet and nice.

Life’s delicious, go ahead, take a bite then swallow.

Enjoy the sensation, savor the pleasure.

Let your mouth melt the marshmallow, enjoy the chocolate

A contrast of textures that only life can give,

Sweet and salty, soft and hard

Let it melt and let yourself go.

UP Students: Why We're Awesome

By: Polaroid

People outside think we’re awesome.

Though some would try

To put us down,

Still, we outshine.

Not just ‘cause we’re smart and witty,

But ‘cause we care

For the country—

Not just ourselves.

We’re a bunch of people who know

That our strength lies

In our freedom

To live our lives.

Workshop Group Work #5:

A Play on Words

Resistance, capacitance—what are these?

Who among us have the courage to have them?

Will you try despite all the risks?

For the consolations, that one sweet kiss?

Oh yes I will, my love, yes I will.

Love takes courage, yet being brave is not being in love

To give all we have to the uncertain

Can measure our resistance,

Can define our capacitance.

Physics Class

By: Bonsai

The moment I open my eyes,

I sleep again

Then force a bath

And steal a nap.

My room turns into corridors

“Tick, tock,” says time

So many people

Out of the way!

I stared and stared but nothing happened

The room’s all mine

The Prof. is not here—

Oh, just a dream.

Workshop Group Work #4:

Second Best vs. the Best

My second best prevents me from having the best,

I don’t know why, it’s just the way it is.

Though I have what it takes to really stand out and shine,

I feel like a child; ghost ready to leap on me.

But no, take courage I must, and let myself trust

Or else I’ll be left here alone.

So I take the chance, I’ll have the best

No more second bests, no turning back.

Laban

By: Patalipat

Minsan nakakabadtrip lang

To do aral

Babagsak rin

Ayoko na!

Walang ibang dapat gawin

Basa, sulat

Araw-araw

Puro aral.

Ngunit pag naiisip ko

Pamilya ko

Sige na nga

Laban, let’s go!
