Reflection Roy Dela Cruz

REFLECTION is the name I have given to the notebook where I wrote my first poem back in the 1980's. That notebook got filled up, and I started with another notebook... and then another... and from one notebook, I am now almost halfway through my fifth notebook as of this writing. Five notebooks over three decades of writing raw, unadulterated, and sincere verses which I dared call poems. These poems represent my views and experiences in life and love. They may come in rants and angst-filled tone, they may be mushy, or nonsensical, but in whatever form or mood they may be, they are always sincere. The end was to capture what I was feeling at that specific moment that those verses were written. This is why these collections are called REFLECTION because they aim to reflect my feelings, sentiments, worries and concerns. It is like a journal, only presented in verses. A poetic representation of how I see life as I pass by. This book is my life... this is my REFLECTION
