SONNET TRIBUTE SUNDRY: JAN SANTINO C. MANDREZA - MINECRAFT
There's this boy group Which I love the most I support them at all cost Their faces are poetry in motion Their eyes are beautiful But we don't know they may be sorrowful I laugh when they laugh I cry when they cry They're the first kpop group to be on billboard music awards "Teamwork makes the dream work"their leader says "Love yourself, love myself" I always wonder what they're doing Always worry how they're doing Seeing them makes my day complete They are my inspiration and source of happiness Some may say it's easy to be a fangirl. But it's also hard for us because it hurts that they don't know each one of us.

Some win awards. Some win recognition. Then some barely recognized for their effort and time. Some hardly ever late. Some dedicated more than many bosses. Who take it upon themselves to take multiple vacation? The good employee that others measure themselves by. Rain,sleet or show , you're most likely see them at work. Some takes pride just in working to accomplish an agenda. They probably wouldn't strike even, if in a union. Some has came in present time to regret being a members. When they don't see any accomplishable gains from their leaders. Good employees, don't fake an excuse to miss work. Good employees, know all jobs depends upon a team. A mission is set to be met. Those that mainly complains has minor points. Which soon becomes a distraction in the level of work. Oh, good employees has complaints too. In reality, we all do to some degree. Except, good employees all companies need. They make the weakest link becomes a member of a strong team.

that time again ...
‘Shadow of the day’ Play and play and release the locks of this attraction. Sway and displace the diamond sealed in the concrete. It shone and sparkled immense value. Could’ve never ended and remained in your zone. An amazing soul, rare and simply beautiful. Replace this with thoughts known, You pure gold, wish forces could entwine this desire not a norm. Came packaged in a lovely form. I viewed your sense and values and even butterflies fluttered and passed out from your flood of casual injection of euphoria. Seems too futile…sadly the world hardly awards love. Will it sub-side, found a real prince of note…maybe it could’ve been groomed and grown with the days. Is it possible to remove such a being from my rooms of thought? Will it get better or worse with time? Hardly unreal when lips only recite our memories. Make what’s engulfed me in your aura die, It’s not needed, not happening again. Why is it now…over and over again. The stenches of my lust for you, My longing to be in your presence. For once, can I be blessed with treasure like you. Shiny and rare…beautiful and valuable. Regrets of loving so easily has now become a punishment. Again I need to mend the pieces, The millions of pieces broken by heavy disappointment. Why did those words you said colour my ears, How can you have made me feel liked yet you saw past me. Haven’t my feet walked this hurt before. Seems things are too heavy… Never golden or maybe their lame gestures have rusted my heart. Hardly any good in the possibilities, I hate these realities. I’m fed up with these warriors who easily pull on my heart-strings. Where shall I rest? Find comfort and acceptance from the evil rest. I saw sanctuary in your eyes, Pictured a loving soul and felt a honourale being from your touch. Loosen my grip on what will never happen. Too raw…yet the heart has become immune. Now mind and energy drowns in gloom. 20years of living…still I believe in love. Still I want to believe there’s one for me. Understanding and equally loving. But…sadly there’s been no luck. Maybe, just maybe it’s my fault. Maybe I reveal too much and have them regretting they laid eyes on me.

The ****** of the east and west, At Your recovery we all rest, Lord is merciful but the people are not. Clocks tick and the days goes by, I'm afraid that you will never be forgotten. The west will dangle you Before the eyes of thousands. For all the thousand things they want Your agendas are quite right I'm afraid, Perhaps they thought metal was the answer. They were afraid as well. Showed, praised and written about, Cherished and awarded. Our dear malala. I can't help think, Perhaps you're a puppet And west the clever puppeteers. Brave as you are, I know for sure now that You don't stand a chance. Life might be short but it seems like an eternity. For change is what you want, You don't reside with the enemy, You don't accept their awards. When a government can't assure us change, What chance do you stand with your words, For you are just a girl with a bullet hole. And half this country is drowned in illiteracy. Brace yourself sweetheart, Cause you are just another girl, Where millions others are fighting a real fight, All you do is befriend the woeful west.

The Billboard Music Awards took over Las Vegas last night as the celebs rocked it on the carpet and on the stage. However, there were more than a few music stars who just missed the mark when it came to the fashion. From the barely there gowns to the colorful messes that caught everyone’s eye, and not in a good way. The Billboard Music Awards fashion is usually something to praise, however this year things took a turn for worse. These lucky celebrities top our list of biggest fashion fails from the billboard music awards. Mariah Carey chose to show it off in a cleavage baring illusion dress. Hailee Steinfeld’s embraced her girly side in a black and white ruffle number. The whole Fifth Harmony clan completely failed in their black, white and yellow matching outfits. Britney Spears covered it all up in an ill-fitting, long, sparkly gown. And Dencia’s outfit was a messy rainbow that had everyone staring. It seems like some of the stars got dressed in the dark or just completely forgot to look in the mirror before stepping out on the red carpet.

Biggest Fashion Fails from the Billboard Music Awards
I If I were a poet I would compose beautiful line breaks and elegant stanzas. Similes would be ******** scattered with alliteration like stars against a sunset sky. My tone would be of reason rather than innocence. I would refuse to analyze the meaning of death in literature. II Fortune cookies would be my mantra and life would be a wiggle instead of a struggle. I would pray five times a day to my journal most benevolent, ever-merciful. My poems would not be of peace of war or (you)nity or them here Amur'cans. III My form would be indifferent and probably never earn me awards or acceptance to grad school. Fondness of (parentheses) may get me compared to e.e. cummings or completely dismissed if I were a poet.

I wished on a star too Skipped rocks, flew off the inner tube Played capture the flag, hide and go seek Summer camp and climbing trees. Passing notes, amusement parks, sports awards Just Dance, sleepovers, boogie boards Tire swings, smores, shirley temples, Neighborhood friends, trampolines... few troubles. A shooting star passed, Silent tornadoes of memories Come, lets ponder the time machine. Just a kid, or maybe an adult- I'm 18. Cherish past experiences, live for your dreams.

I thought I found it, dad. You tell me my dreams are worthless, you say you have to tell me this because you love me and want what's best for me. You say I need to be realistic. This boy once told me what I loved was garbage, and it reminded me of you. I thought, this must be it. He must love me. When I brought you my awards and achievements, dad, you told me they were okay for a normal person but your daughter, I, could do better - these trophies weren't special enough. I'm not living up to my full potential and I never will in your eyes. But you never let me leave without reminding me with your words that you love me endlessly, dad, so when I found a boy that was just as critical of me as you are, I felt that I had found the one.

SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated television series created by marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg for Nickelodeon. The series chronicles the adventures and endeavors of the title character and his various friends in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom. The series' popularity has made it a media franchise, as well as Nickelodeon network's highest rated show, and the most distributed property of MTV Networks. The media franchise has generated $8 billion in merchandising revenue for Nickelodeon. Many of the ideas for the series originated in an unpublished, educational comic book titled The Intertidal Zone, which Hillenburg created in the mid-1980s. He began developing SpongeBob SquarePants into a television series in 1996 upon the cancellation of Rocko's Modern Life, and turned to Tom Kenny, who had worked with him on that series, to voice the titular character. SpongeBob was originally to be named SpongeBoy, and the series was to be called SpongeBoy Ahoy!, but these were changed, as the name was already trademarked. The series was previewed on Nickelodeon in the United States on May 1, 1999, following the television airing of the 1999 Kids' Choice Awards, and officially premiered on July 17, 1999. It has received worldwide critical acclaim since its premiere and gained enormous popularity by its second season. The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, a feature-length film adaptation, was released in theaters on November 19, 2004, and a sequel is currently in production, with a projected release date of February 13, 2015. On July 21, 2012, the series was renewed and aired its ninth season, beginning with the episode "Extreme Spots".[2][3] Despite its widespread popularity, the series has been involved in several public controversies, including one centered around speculation over SpongeBob SquarePants' intended ****** orientation. The series has been nominated for a variety of different awards, including 17 Annie Awards (with six wins), 17 Golden Reel Awards (with eight wins), 15 Emmy Awards (with one win), 13 Kids' Choice Awards (with 12 wins), and four BAFTA Children's Awards (with two wins). In 2011, a newly described species of mushroom, Spongiforma squarepantsii, was named after the cartoon's title character.

There will always be a great division In this life full of intersections The separation of the rich from the poor The distinction from shoes to coiffure The discrimination of races The characteristics of faces The gender inequalities The life one lives spiritually One's position in society One's awards, medals or trophies But what truly separates us all? The crucial thing that determines one's fall? The cause of life's great division Is having sight but no vision The ability to see real beauty Makes men truly wealthy Using time to make great memories Learning from all the tragedies Choosing to be happy at all moments And to live a life full of contentment There are the ones who have eyes but cannot see The ones who can visualize the unseen The ones who look beyond the horizon The ones who appreciate all four seasons The ability to see the same color in different hues Is something that can never be sufficed There are the ones who know the value And there are the ones who know the price

Great Division
I was there Beneath it all Stubbing my nose Catching my eyes On the most soulful of gifts There was a promenade Then music A chef in a tall white hat Shouting at the top of his lungs As cracked eggs Desperately tried To reimagine themselves As whole again. They did not wish to change. I am a poem And I am nothing I am a man And I am nothing I am a before Yet to embark On an after Could this be it? I think of What could have been If I had done this If I had done that And switch Paralyzed. The horizon Fades at dusk And is reimagined At dawn How I wish I were content To be ok With such a simple Routine Progress Achievements Recognition Advancement Awards Realization The ***** turns to tighten To hold Only to rust Be forgotten Put in the back of the pantry Read from afar The days of the sun Are over Darknesses lengths Are upon us Taste of the hubris of the moon Its position is fixed Such a fact, such a reserved space Where will the moon go But anywhere But here? And of us? Where will our bones go? Our me minds? Our fleeting psyche? The I is none other But the billionth petal Of a flaming sunflower In a field Surrounded by the identical Taste ash Mixed with honey As the buzz of the bees Fade.

If you care: My life is a little box and I dreamt of a little box. The more I watched the less it was. In a solid white something. Lamps. A table. Clothes. Proper punctuation and capitalization. Unthinkable hopes and blasphemous suppositions. Some force that I can’t call God, just my sick dream-logic, blew it to ashes. My world-cube. My mirrors. My books. My awards and certificates and All my precious stanzas. Cinders and pronunciation alone remained. At this, I smiled and shook my soul with the Prophet. My own music burst out before me like mathematics (My very breath guided by an infinitely ascetic sweep) and like oil paint (in a world that glows like neon and breathes out empty space) and I awoke from whiteness. I fold myself into four like the secret of flight. But you don’t care.

3rd Grade, Awards Assembly Children are filed into the cafeteria in almost orderly lines Giggling about silly jokes that make no sense to adults But for awards, they are silent, and expecting. Kindergarten, first grade, second grade, finally The little girl with her shiny black shoes waits for her award telling her that she qualifies as smart And she receives perfect attendance 8th Grade, School Computer Room Awkward preteens set in blue plastic chairs Friends clumped together around a single screen "Secretly" googling ***** like it's a crime, though everyone knows But in the very back The girl with her black bag full of books checking her grades online Has her nose to the monitor and worry in her heart Because just perfect attendance makes her a disappointment. Junior Year, Home Bathroom Soapy water soaks the floor and into a dollar store rug The bath is half empty and tinted a rusty shade of red And sitting on the floor with her knees to her chin, carving A+ into the scarred skin of her arm Is the girl, almost a woman, with her eyes messily ringed in black, who doesn't dare cut too deep. Killing herself would mean losing her perfect attendance.

Perfect Attendance
We, the children of a system that awards you simple papers That state 'he/she has achieved what we deem quality' As we are all judged and graded in exactly the same way Because they promote individuality unless it's intelligence 'We all learn differently, and at different paces' Is an often preached sermon of our progenitors these days Yet I know more about synonyms for ancestry and parents Than how to survive once our papers begin to mean nothing So here I'd like you to tell me what is considered knowledge And I'd ask of the older generations to insert customary wisdom Because more adults have spat quotes to me like gospel Than tought me what I really need to know and value I've got a track record spanning back almost two decades Of being sorry for just being myself at all times So I think my teachers should be proud of themselves To know that the things they preach to me really get through You see, homework and exams mean almost nothing To those who need to really think on their feet Because this same system idolizes the memory Mistaking it for a wealth of rawest knowledge So I love it when they say school is too easy on kids now Rewarding losing and not promoting any ambition Because I've been berated for attaining success at any level Due to grades that define me not successful enough

The whistle blows I stand in my pose I smile so bright And it feels so right I can't wait to dive in Even if I don´t win I know my routine from start to end In the water I´ll flip and bend Even though I'm prepared I´m really scared The crowd all stares And the music blares I'm upside down And time slows down I lift up my chin And continue to grin My eyes burn from chlorine And I can't seem to see Suddenly it´s done And I think I´ve won I hear the crowd's cheers It´s loud in my ears Now all I have to do is wait And hope I did great 1 hour 2 hours 3 hours 4 And it’s finally awards They call out my name I’m first place!

Words written from the heart, 🌹 always touch another heart.🌹 For what flows from within,🌹 finds its way onto paper, unshaken.🌹 I had no one else to call mine,🌹 no complaints, no desires unspoken.🌹 It was only you in every line,🌹 my soul by your presence woven.🌹 Even after you left,🌹 I was honored as a poet.🌹 But tell me, was it not enough,🌹 that my name lived through our love?🌹 Wealth, fame, and awards came my way🌹, yet forgetting you grew harder each day.🌹 Every verse I write still breathes of you,🌹 your memory paints every word anew.🌹 Wherever you are, may you stay blessed,🌹 my love for you will never rest.🌹 Deeper than time, stronger than fate,🌹 you live in my heart — my soul’s true mate.❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
