Attended Likhaan: UP Institute of Creative Writing’s “Labor of Love: 26 Poets on Valentine’s Day” @Tomato Bomb Cafe It was actually a pretty interesting night. At least now, I can say Valentine’s Day wasn’t a total waste. And I at least now, I can say I have been armed with poetry I may find useful (or relate-able to) in the future:   “I love you, a poet’s cheap words.” (I forgot who said this!) “How does one enter/ How does one leave/ Is there some exit we don’t know about?” -Khavn dela Cruz “Why do we judge these skydivers/ for man’s unfaithfulness” (Again, I forgot who said this)  “How your mouth took me in so deep.” -Mia Tijam  Mmm, so maybe the latter is a point of contention for the relate-able bit, but regardless. I’ve come away from this poetry night somewhat sleepy, but highly invigorated.  Valentine’s Day isn’t so bad for the single ones after all.  (c) Melissa Yu for the photo

“I love you, a poet’s cheap words.” (I forgot who said this!)

“How does one enter/ How does one leave/ Is there some exit we don’t know about?” -Khavn dela Cruz

“Why do we judge these skydivers/ for man’s unfaithfulness” (Again, I forgot who said this) 

“How your mouth took me in so deep.” -Mia Tijam 

Mmm, so maybe the latter is a point of contention for the relate-able bit, but regardless. I’ve come away from this poetry night somewhat sleepy, but highly invigorated.

I'm eighteen and I still wonder if I am as interesting to others, as they are to me.
