Guest: FELIX FOJAS | Poetic Technology Transfer

From the Book of Worms by Felix Fojas

~For Francis Arvin~

Just moments ago, A young promising Poet from Manila,

My Facebook buddy, Wrote in my chat This flattering private

Message which I can’t Resist to keep secret, Must shout in public:

“Thank you, Sir Felix! I have much to learn From you.” I glibly

Chatted him back: No problemo, that’s What you call, ahem,

O metaphorical and Sheer onomatopoeic Technology transfer,

My skyward winging, Fine-feathered friend. I hope I have earned

The fickle Muse’s tacit Approval to charge this Free lesson in prosody

To my epic propensity For indulging in poetic License and skulduggery!
