Manja Bayang posted on Bibaknets a nice (for want of a better word) message about my poetry. I am reproducing it here for posterity.<BR/>Thanks, Manja. <BR/><BR/>x----------------x<BR/><BR/>My friend, Atty. Cheryl Daytec-Yangot (whom I call manang Chyt – she demands for the use of the manang), sent me an email that she opened a blog spot where she publishes her poems on the web. I read her blogs with a wide grin. This is really great!<BR/><BR/>I was writing poems aside from news, features and opinions since high school. Well not so much on poems but I remembered the last one I made which came out in the Sagada Postboy in `93 was about the Dad I never had. I learned it moved some people. Maybe not too many because I was a nobody. And I thought I can write poems until I read the compositions of manang Chyt. I felt so humbled. I have to admit now, that I know nothing about poetry. Manang Chyt's poems are so intimidating. This woman certainly has a knack for poetry. She has a way with words to make it go right through the target. She always has the right words for everything. <BR/><BR/>All her poems are inspired by something or someone. And I know they come right from the heart of manang Chyt's soul. This, I believe, is the secret ingredient which makes every word in her poems a charged electron causing so much tingling all over the reader's being. The truth and force of every word scares the pretenses out of one's body<BR/>and opens the soul to love and reality.<BR/><BR/>There's one advice I want to give the readers – depending on the kind<BR/>of poem - the right and proper way to read manang Chyt'scompositions, <BR/>is for you either to imagine that you are in ancient Greece delivering the eulogy to Julius Caesar to a thousand crowd, or in a Greek drama confessing your love to Juliet, or in the French Revolution's musical crying with anger against society's illnesses, holding a rifle on one hand and raising a clenched fist shouting for justice and peace. <BR/><BR/>Mi amiga Chyt yo un scritor de muchisimo talento! Saludos! <BR/>x-----------x<BR/><BR/>That is Manja. She is actually a writer herself. I hope she shares her poem on her dad with us.CHERYL L.

All the data stored- including the nipa hut poem, other writings and legal briefs- simply evaporated last year. The computer technicians say it was bound to happen when I used a Microsoft version (MS2003) which could not be supported by the processor (Pentium II-computer circa 1999). Now, there's a lesson learned the most painful way. It would have been better if I lost a huge amount of money - which I don't have. I will try to reconstruct the nipa hut poem.<BR/><BR/>That song I sang is not mine. It is a Bob Dylan hit called "The Times-They Are A-Changing". I added a stanza on tuition. Collect Dylan records. He belongs to a much older generation but his music is still socially relevant.<BR/><BR/>Bill, sorry for the error. And thanks for the correction. Authority ka naman talaga. In law,that is what we call a conclusive presumption - something beyond challenge.<BR/><BR/>Folks, thanks for dropping by.CHERYL L.
