TAAL

TAAL

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago


Fiery and fuming in its seismic steads

Yet so friendly and idyllic a mighty little volcano

Taal sits by a blanket of cool pristine lakewaters

A lake that’s collapsed space of a gigantic caldera

Taal is once scenery that I never tire to visit

Contemplative and meditative tours often I do

Many wondrous times did I visit Tagaytay

To contemplate anew on the glorious fuming mount

Coming often from Silang town where nestles

My sister Ethleen’s family amongst coffee breeders

There to visit Tagaytay almost thrice a year or so

Sometimes touring university students there

Zoo and ‘palace by the sky’ plus gaming hotel

Horse ride too by famed garden squeezed in sites

Royal lunch & dines by special gourmet restaurants

Bulalo cafeteria did spice many of my visits

Then came opportune moments to ride & visit

Laurel & towns on Batangas side of Taal circa ‘98

Preparing designs for grand projects to boot

For parish priest and partner investors a-ready

Saw Taal mount down the spaces of coastal towns

Still as beautiful as it remains from higher space

Untiring to pay visits to the fiery friend mount

I shall go there again in time to visit & buy coffees

And pray that mighty blessings be had for peoples

Sharing spaces with the friendly volcano

NEVADA

NEVADA

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

Driving along freeway 10 towards the borders of Nevada

Way back late June ’01 to spend the July 4 holiday there

A truly hot sultry space twas upon crossing the borders

Where temp stood at 115 Fahrenheit exacerbating

The dreary looks of backward small towns on the borders

Yet we went on to pass along the famed Las Vegas

And onwards passed by a native American site

To quench our thirst and buy some ethnic stuff

Drove onwards again till we reached Lake Hoover

Spending thus almost six days on flat bottom big boats

We almost a hundred peoples all a family circle

Swam, did boat-ride, snorkel & dived, barbecued

Beers after beers to quench amid sultry days

Yet at night star-gazed the wondrous cloudless sky

Sang the blues & country & rock the day too

There was no boredom at all across the many days

Fun with our circle from babes and kids to adults

Spiced our moments with tons of stories

At times blended with arguments on social issues

Till it was time to go and cruise the same hot freeways

Temp now climbing up to 120 Fahrenheit like stove

Yet we drove on back and passed by Las Vegas again

Hit we were by sand dunes gushed by gales

But we survived and went on motoring back to California

Till finally resting we were all to exhilarate the wonderment

Of the Nevada trail so pregnant with frills and funs
