Ibig kong kung ikaw ay may iniisip,

Sa ulo mo'y ako ang buong masilid.

Ibig kong kung iyang mata'y tumititig,

Sa balintataw mo ako'y mapadikit.

Ibig kong tuwi mong bubukhin ang bibig,

Ang labi ko'y siyang lumasap ng tamis;

Ibig kong sa bawa't pagtibok ng dibdib,

Bulong ng dibdib ko ang iyong marinig.

Hangad kong kung ika'y siyang nag-uutos,

Akung-ako lamang ang makasusunod.

Hangad kong sa iyong mga bungang-tulog,,

Kaluluwa ko lang ang makapupulot.

Hangad kong sa harap ng iyong alindog,

Ay diwa ko lamang ang makaaluluod.

Hangad kong sa "altar" ng iyong pag-irog,

Kamanyang ko lamang ang naisusuob.

Nassa kong kung ika'y may tinik sa puso,

Dini sa puso ko maunang tumimo.

Nasa kong ang iyong tamp't panibugho'y,

Maluoy sa halik ng aking pagsuyo;

Nasa kong ang bawa't hiling mong mabigo,

Ay mabayaran ko ng libong pangako;

 Nasa kong sa bawa't luha mong tumulo,

Ay mga labi ko ang gamiting panyo.

Nais kong sa aklat ng aking pagsinta,

Ang ngalan ng lumbay ay huwag mabasa.

Nais kong sa mukha ng ating ligaya,

Batik man ng hapis ay walang Makita.

Nais kong ang linis ng ating panata'y,

Huwag marungisan ng munting balisa,

Nais kong sa buhay nga ating pag-asa'y,

Mithi kong sa minsang pagsikat ng tala,

Ay wala nang ulap na makagambala;

Mithi kong ang tibay ng minsanang sumpa'y,

Mabaon ko hanggang tabunan ng lupa.

Mithi kong kung ako'y mabalik sa wala,

Ay sa walang yao'y huway kang mawala.

Analysis

Confession is a poem that expresses love. He used many parables in the poem — he compared
love to an offering on the altar of his beloved. Love is also compared to notes, and many more
similarities. The reason for this is so that he can express his feelings for his beloved.

Her analogy evokes her deepest feelings — that she wants to be the only one with her boyfriend
in love. This poem shows that honesty is what he loves and also gives to this person. Because of this, the
title of this poem is "The Confession." It shows her loyalty to her only loved one, and she also confesses
her feelings.

His faithfulness is shown at the end of the poem — when he says that even if he returns to
nothing, when he dies in, he must also return to his girlfriend. It is shown that this love also lasted even
once it was cursed. And at some point, the person is having a hard time, his or her love with his or her
girlfriend becomes new or fresh again.

He also shows his love for his girlfriend by being with his girlfriend when he is having a hard
time. In his analogy, he says that he will give comfort to the crying of his beloved. All he asks for is as
much as love.

2. Haiku

An old silent pond...

A frog jumps into the pond,
splash! Silence again.

Autumn moonlight-
a worm digs silently
into the chestnut.

In the twilight rain

these brilliant-hued hibiscus -
 A lovely sunset.

Analysis- More often than not when speaking about haikus the word “mora” is used rather than
“syllable”. The two are similar, but there is a difference that is untranslatable. It has to
do with the structure of Japanese and the ways it does not line up with English.
Therefore we would say the first line of a haiku has five moras. There is no requirement
in a haiku for the three lines to rhyme with one another. Haikus are often about similar
subject matter, such as nature, what can be found in it, and the changing of the seasons.
There are usually two juxtaposed subjects in the host poem that are contrasted in some
way. Often, in English, there are dashes or colons to symbolize this separation.

Tone- appreciate the nature and your surrounding sceneries

Mode- Haiku portrays on a brief moment in time; a use of provocative and colourful visual images,
giving an ability to be read in one breath and a sense of sudden enlightenment and illuminator.

 Like The Molave
Rafael Zulueta De Costa

Not yet, rizal, not yet. Sleep not in peace:

There are a thousand waters to be spanned;
There are a thousand mountains to be crossed;
There are a thousand crosses to be borne.
Our shoulders are not strong; our sinews are
Grown flaccid with dependence, smug with ease
Under another’s wing. Rest not in peace;
Not yet, Rizal, not yet. The land has need
Of young blood-and, what younger than your own,
Forever spilled in the great name of freedom,
Forever oblate on the altar of
The free? Not you alone, Rizal. O souls
And spirits of the martyred brave, arise!
Arise and scour the land! Shed once again
Your willing blood! Infuse the vibrant red
Into our thin anaemic veins; until
We pick up your Promethean tools and, strong,
Out of the depthless matrix of your of your faith
In us, and on the silent cliffs of freedom,
We carve for all time your marmoreal dream!
Until our people, seeing, are become
Like the molave, firm, resilent, staunch,
Rising on the hillside, unafraid,
Strong in its own fibre, yes, like the molave!

Analysis-

In Rafael Zulueta da Costa’s 1940 poem Like the Molave,the speaker entreats our national hero,
Jose Rizal to inspire generations with his unwavering perseverance for nationa lfreedom. Moreover, the
poem foresees the future of Filipinos in our countrywide failings such as our dependence upon others
and upon the government, lack of self-restraint and loss of social dignity from a mistaken notion of
modernity. Furthermore, the speaker tells the other heroes who bravely died in the process of freeing
our country to enthuse the Filipinos. Through infusing or carrying on the nationalistic spirit to the next
generation, history will be made known on how epic were our heroes and thus will touch the hearts of
the oblivious Filipinos who will then preserve our independence knowing we got freedom out of blood,
sweat and tears. In the same manner, the allusion of Prometheus in Greek mythology as a titan who
stole fire from Gods to give it to mankind only asserts the impression that Rizal bravely gave light to
Filipinos during history’s dark ages despite of knowing the consequences.

In addition to that, Jose Rizal is considered as the pioneer of the nationalist literary
tradition in our Philippine Literature because of his two novels that destabilized the Spanish colonial
structure with his anti-colonial visions, awakening the common Filipinos’ patriotism. In short, Rizal, the
literary writer, instigated social change and revealedthe writer’s significant role in informing and
enlightening the readers about society—in persuading people to act and participate in social change.

Tone- the speaker in the poem ask the souls ans spirits of the martyred brave to arise and scour the
land!

Mode- to inspire generations with his unwavering perseverance for nationa lfreedom. Moreover, the
