DISNEYLAND & ENCHANTED KINGDOM

DISNEYLAND & ENCHANTED KINGDOM

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

Theme parks aren’t a fave site of this enthused traveler

But did I visit a pair of them in the ‘90s through ‘01

So wide spaces with shops & fancy fun specialty sites

The Annaheim land of Disney is one taking hours to tour

Likewise is Enchanted Kingdom d’Laguna long to traverse

Tiring yet exhilarating in their specialty funs

With virtual chamber of theatres to simulate scenes

Theme parks will rise in many more places

Round the globe and in my own country Filipinas

Will be glad to visit them for as long as I am

In company of families with kids to satiate fondness

For fun and memorable histories to craft

Rendering life like a merry go round

[Philippines, 27 May 2011]

BORACAY

BORACAY

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

Came a two-week talk spree in ‘October 94

As national leader amongst teachers

After making rounds of Iloilo-Antique-Capiz

Made a resting ride to Boracay fame

Passing first by the largest bell in a Capiz town

Went on till my baggages and me reached town

From there crossed from coast by boat

To the pristine den that was Boracay

There I was housed in the parish convent

I marveled at the island’s white beach

The idylls of the paradise caught in snapshots

Did sometimes swim by the beach

And at night walked & entered bars to sip

Beers to go along with fine cuisines

So wonderful are the white sands they

Are so cool at lunchtime amid sweltering sun

And the seawaters so friendly to the eyes

Even if one swims underneath no stress comes

Upon your benign eyes as it marvels further

Seeing fishes & games even without snorkel

No more was I to go back to the island fame

And maybe no more opportunity shall come

For another visit to this place of game

Its memories resides at least in my brain

Never to depart from it

[Philippines, 08 April 2011]

SAGADA

SAGADA

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

Scheduled to fly to fly to California in due time

I decided to do holiday in Sagada before that

On a day in Summer 2000 passed by Ifugao first

To stay the night in picturesque Banawe

A return visit it was in this town d’gourmet

Till the following day I motored to Sagada

There to be greeted by Bulol the Silent Watcher

Spent couples of days to relaxingly walk

Visited the underground caves where ancestors lay

Awed at the marks of sea levels in cavernous walls

Visited bars and on a night sang along with acoustics

Bearing along with me theosophy books to read

And meditating too for so many an hour schedules

Cleansing myself with drinks of local herbal tea

And communicating with the Hierarchs for counsel

Whether shall I leave Filipinas for overseas calls

Snap shots and memories filling my memory bank

I left thereafter and passed by Banawe again for a night

To take stock of the future days awaiting me

And thank Bulol the Silent Watcher for the holy stay

[Philippines, 17 March 2011]

HONG KONG KOWLOON

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

A civil society was I then to advocate

Love and concern for overseas Filipinos

As Treasurer of Kanlungan Center Foundation

& Kakammpi president for overseas’ dependents

Came December 1990 we flew to Hong Kong

From across the globe we leaders converged

Stayed in Maryknoll sisters’ compound to camp

There to workshop too and build camaraderie

We then decided to architect Migrante International

Finally had it graduate from a Committee for nigh years

Just in time when we were lobbying for sanguine law

To care for overseas Pinoys across the globe

We did pay visits to bars & toured places

Victoria peak and cable car I recalled

With company of Pinay domestic helpers too

We toured the nights for songs & cocktails a’satiate

In one bar did I belt out songs to make for free beers

With gusto I sang La Bamba of Mexican folk fame

Accompanying myself with electric guitar to feel

As electrified eyes of tourists watched with awe

To the wonderful city built by British taipan

I bid not farewell as it’s o’so near to fly

My appreciation for glorious city planning will stay

This Asian city is one we islanders can be proud of

[Philippines, 03 February 2011]

HUNDRED ISLANDS

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

Sometime in ’93 did I and some university students

Motored to Pangasinan to visit idyllic Mangayao

To workshop biodynamic farming and homeopathy

Care of Bro Edgard Guevarra of my adeptic circle

Upon concluding workshop in rustic Mangayao

We motored pronto to famed Hundred Islands

Lucky enough we came on a nice weekday

With few people we got Quezon Island solo

On late afternoon I climbed a mount of site

To meditate and pray to Almighty’s Presence

And at dusk fall we camped on concrete edifice

That awaited our camaraderie with songs & poems

Truly beautiful and mystical too are those islands

With Manuel Quezon gracing statue on an isle

Amid howling winds at night we slept so real good

At morning photos & time to go to bless our mood

[Philippines, 27 January 2011]
