I am in misery.
For when I am in misery
The poem ceases to be
Words crafted and chiseled
From abstracted thought.
The poem begins to be me.

Project: Record Poems
March 13, 2011When 2011 came, I said I want to make the year into four parts with each quarter representing something that I really want to do. Here’s my plan:
First Quarter: Creative/Something Cultural
Second Quarter: Fitness
Third Quarter: Travel
Fourth Quarter: Big birthday celebration!!! It’s the big 4-0!!
My friend Russel wanted to join in and we both planned to go to museums. That didn’t happen, instead, we were (almost weekly) frequenting Bulalo Fiesta at Quirino Avenue fronting SM Fairview. Something came out nice with that weekly gig, the friendship with the now-called Bulalocals (Adrian, Jerelene, Jimrei, Toffee) grew stronger!
That friendship brought out many ideas, thanks to Adrian who lugs his DSLR camera around. And since he’s into recording songs, too, courtesy of Jinglebeez productions (Jingle’s and wife, Bebe’s production house) I thought of recording my poems, too. Inspired, no less, by my idol James Earl Jones who has peotry reading videos on YouTube.
So, here’s the first output. Recorded February 28. Still within my First Quarter goal!!
