Amity Her ;) ... Leo's Letters

Amity has been the follower of my blogs for quite some time now but I’ve become her friend in blogsville only a month or so back. I haven’t written many guest posts in blogsville and was quite delighted when she asked me to write for her one year in blogging celebration. I’ve had some other work in between that has made this little guest post possible only at this last minute. So, in case it hasn’t turned out according to your expectations, Amity, please forgive me.


Amity’s blog is called Dreams Are My Reality and it is quite intriguing in itself. Since she herself says that her dreams are her reality, I’ll go directly to her reality and talk about her. Anyone reading her blog would know that she has a talent for a certain form of poetry called Acrostics. She keeps them short and sweet, puts some effort into them too. Her poetic talent however is like an ocean. It has an endless supply and capacity and she churns them out quite regularly (nowadays, it is lessened due to another addiction of hers). She is one of the sweetest friends I have. She has a nice online voice, very kind understanding and helpful (esp. with farming advice). I’ve challenged her to write a thousand acrostics and she has accepted it with delight.


This Filipino woman is one of my few international blog friends too. She speaks to me about her country at times and has told me of some Filipino art like Vigan pottery. A passionate friend, caring mother and enthusiastic worker she is. She chooses photos for her works with care, and each word she writes adds beauty to that photograph. I’ve had the pleasure of assisting her with the template too when my Preeti di was busy to come online and fix it for her. As Maddy said in the first guest post, she came in to blogsville and stole many hearts, and won some deserved awards and badges with her poetry. Anyone wanting to read her non poetic works please do read her novelette under “fiction” label. It is a very good story series that she has written so far.


A friend so true
I found in you
You maybe far
But you are a star


Your every word
Delight to read
You help me too
When I’m in need


Acrostic ace
One of very few
Taking to forms
Be it old or new


Honest in heart
You make us smile
Be like that
All the while


Thanks for giving me this chance to write for your wonderful blog Amity.

A guest post from Maddy. 

It’s My First Year Bloggerversary

Hey folks, friends, mentors and fellow blogging buddies, today is my first year here in bloggerville! Isn’t that great?


It was really a metamorphosis, from the simple, naïve writer to the now more polished and sensible one.


It was my classmate in high school, Sir Gie (his pen name) who introduced me to blogging exactly a year ago today for the purpose of earning money through AdSense. But a couple of months back, I disabled that Adsense because I am more convinced now that I am here to share my talent and not to earn a dollar or two. In fact, through blogging, I am more or less $10 richer now…J but have not claimed the money yet…L


And two of my blogging-buddy-friends, Maddy and Leo, will have a guest post in celebration of this milestone in my blogging life…J
I will be posting their guest post today.


But too bad…L as I was about to log in, came power breakdown…But anyways, am doing a draft and post this as soon as power will be restored.


Thank you so much to everyone who became my inspiration and mentor over here. Much to my desire to mention all of you here now, am afraid I can’t make a perfect roll call, so, here….to all of you my dear mentors, buddies, friends and followers alike, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I promise to make good use of my craft…J
Have a nice day and God bless us all!


Creative Metamorphosis



From a sheltered moth
Grew into an ugly worm
And metamorphosed
Came a beautiful butterfly.




From a minute egg
Fertilized by a sperm
A fetus developed
Came out a cuddly baby.



From a small seed
Planted into earth
Watered by nature
Came a beautiful flower.




From fragile eggs
Hatched by a mother hen
After several days
Came out healthy chicks.




From a dirty mud
Gathered with bare hands
Shaped by artistic mind
Came a beautiful vase.




From a farmer's hand
Who plowed day in, day out
And worked with sweat and blood
Came a beautiful farm.




From a loving mother
Who taught her kids good deeds
Manners and values
Came responsible citizens.




From a writer's thoughts
Ideas, dreams and emotions
Woven into poetic words
Came her masterpiece.

DRESSED TO KILL



Dare to be sassy
Reminding of a dear
Elvis Presley who wore
So many attires
Sequined, shiny, colorful
Equally tight fitting and
Downright attractive

To promote his signature dresses
Of which are worth for auction

Knocking you out of proportion
Into a popularity that you
Longingly wish to have which
Likely dominates your appearance.

A Child's Wish


Wish I can be a child
Child full of innocence
Innocence from life's harsh realities
Realities I wouldn't understand
Understand when I will be old
Old enough to have worries and cares
Worries and cares for survival
Survival of the fittest
Fittest is the name of the game
Game is this life we play
Play in a stage called world
World where human species live.
