rbu-en It's Bryan Ruiz Making Costa Rica's Cheers

Ruiz, it's Bryan Ruiz who's made Costa Rica's cheers,
To have won over the giant Roman warriors,
With his only golden goal, he's been hailed "hero,"
To help his little nation stay in Sao Paulo.

What a very good header to make the golden,
At 44, its victory was counted then,
Though Italy's tried its hardest of the hardest,
Making several good but failed attempts of its best.

rbu O Italy

RUIZ, IT’S BRYAN RUIZ !

Ruiz, it’s Bryan Ruiz who’s made Costa Rica’s cheers,
To have won over the giant Roman warriors,
With his golden goal, he’s been hailed ‘Hero’
To help his little nation stay in Sao Paulo.

What a very good header to make the golden,
At 44, its victory was counted then.
Though Italy tried the hardest of its hardest,
Making several good but failed attempts of its best.

O, ITALY !

O Italy, one of my few favorites.
Why have you lost so many lots of bits?
As your actions depict well your fiascos,
The poorer defense, your defeat follows.
And your past faults themselves seem to repeat.
That’s, you have known defeat after defeat.

And your nightmares come to haunt you again,
As in South Africa in 20-10.

Balotelli, whilst seeing you squatting,
I recall the event with the same thing.
When Little Buddha Roberto Baggio,
Whom Italy loved most shot at rainbow,
Hoping to make it the ‘9-4 World Cup,
When you drank bitter shame, not syrup.

Imagine your World Cup in Germany,
Cheers were shouted and all happy.

Well, the lost games can never be replayed,
Though kids always wish for those lost games paid.
And how can we share what to redress you?
Just soothe yourselves and cry tearfully through.
How disappointed you and your fans are!
What’ll you do to heal your pains without scar?

Maybe, your old underdogs are to leave.
‘Coz your old magic turns worthless to weave.

rbu Making Raw Palm Beer on Palm-Tree

Beer is seen everywhere in Cambodia,
You'll be lucky enough to taste beer here:
E'en ABC, Tiger and Heineken,
Ganzberg, Angkor, Cambodia -- to mention.

Almost from any country of the world,
Just to make 'a beer man-made lake' go pearled:
Millions of liters in yearly amount,
Pour into this poor State, on no account.

Thus, Cambodia could attract more tourists,
By its 'swimming beer-lake' opportunists,
And quasi-empty State coffers remain,
People enjoy drunkenness to complain.

O road accidents happen everyday,
Their causes as everyone feels dismay,
Are drunkenness e'en the police shake head,
Beyond imagination: nothing's said.

And locally-made 'natural beer' drunk here,
A popular product of Cambodia,
Raw palm-juice beer's made on top of palm-trees,
Overnight, it tastes sour-sweet to please.

What a pleasant taste for you to enjoy !
It's called here 'teuk Tnaot ju' and for your joy.
See a man atop a palm-tree shown here,
Make it the way it's been made 'Khmer Beer.'

The type of Khmer [natural] Beer has been made traditionally for centuries now "just overnight" on the very top of palm-trees to have it taste deliciously sour-sweet. Commoners enjoy it with grilled meat at family-size parties and some cases, though seen as a bit mean on the part of the organizers, it is joyfully served at wedding parties, for instance, as in early 1980s after Cambodia quit the Killing Field regime.

rbu 'Tis real, not photoshopped,

'Tis real and not photoshopped as doubted,
Palm-trees, paddies, mountains ... oh, look yonder,
See things for yourself, see its real beauty,

O landscapes, span your wings decorated,
Just fly your imagination higher,
And that's Cambodia's rural scenery.

rbu American Sky, Khmer Mountain

Ame~rican skies~ are so bright~ though cloudy(1),

And what~ a pity(1)~ is to see~ Khmer mountains(2),
It's stark~ different~ to comment~ on mountains(2),
They look~ like coffins(2)~ with corpses~ inside them(3).

These days~ we can say~ of defor~estation(4),
And like~ depletion(4)~ of gold ores~ and the gem(3),
As if~ like being~ transfused by~ the venom(3),
And like~ the mayhem(3)~ of the State~ and people(5). 

O, lo~ and behold,~ the nation's~ resources(6) !
Nature~ finishes(6)~ its real shape~ like bubble(5),
That's why~ Henri Cam~ feels pity~ for people(5),
Who live~ like in Hell(5),~ apart from~ the Khmer Rouge(7),

Pity!~ Khmer mountains~ cannot win~ their life back(8),
Just cry~ and attack(8)~ ruleless laws~ and abuse.(7),
Or else~ all the mounts~ would be found~ of no use.(7).
Coffins~ in stained hues(7)~ do look like~ the deserts.

This poem is written using the Khmer eleven-syllable foot style: 2 - 3 - 3 - 3 that reads beautifully with good rhythms and rhymes. In this Khmer style, a sentence has four (4) lines (the general rule for Khmer poetry writing, although there are some different cases). Each sentence is grouped into four (4) clusters of sounds (or syllables) “2 – 3 – 3 – 3”. As in other languages, practically, there is difficulty in finding the exact rhymes.

e.g. Ame(2) -rican skies(3) –are so bright(3) –though cloudy(3) ...

To make them easy for you to notice, I mark them in colours and numbers (and underlined) to show they rhyme among them for the sounds with the same marks (colours, numbers, and/or underlined.)

e.g. The last syllable “cloudy(1)”(the ending of line 1) rhymes with the 5^th syllable “pity(1)”of line 2, and
the last syllable “mountains(2)” (endings of line 2) rhymes with the ending “mountains(2)”of line 3, both of them rhyme with syllable 5 “coffins(2)”of the line 4, and these rules apply for all the other sentences.Another character to notice is that the last syllable of the foregoing sentence rhymes with the last syllable of line 2 and 3 and the 5^th syllable of line 4 (the last line) of the next sentence,

e.g. them(3) ending of the last line of the previous sentence, gem(3) ending of line 2, venom(3) ending of line 3 and mayhem(3) the syllable of last line (or line 4) etc.

To make your poems more beautiful, a good experienced poetry composer writes the kind of similar rhymes between syllables of the same line:
e.g. It's stark~ different~ to comment~ on mountains(2): the rhymes of “-ent” in different and comment

rbu My Boat of Life

It's not a life-boat, but a boat of life,
All existence is kept by work through strife.
Look there, it's life navigated on boat,
On the surface of a river it's afloat.

What does life mean as it's been known and seen?
Like the boat afloat on water so green,
Mirroring beauty of nature around,
Answering the sky's question from the ground.

Oh the boat's running through the bumping waves,
Taking the surface as the way it paves,
To where I myself haven't known for sure,
And just with wishes for good things so pure.

Oh life, my life where you're leading me to,
Or 'tis me who have been pushing you through,
The walks of life whether it's hard or not,
Or is LIFE to be a well-written plot?

O! My boat of life, I can't desert you,
Even though umpteen times I do fall through,
No matter sometimes I feel so tiresome,
Yeah, your lesson's "not tedious of boredom."

rbu O ANGKOR THOM, ANCIENT CAPITAL OF THE GREAT KHMER EMPIRE

Oh Angkor Thom, one thousand years ago,
Capital of a Great Empire, we know,
Under Emperor Jayavarman VII,
Apogee of civilization then.

The Khmer Empire was then the greatest,
Of the three civilizations on Earth,
With you and Angkor Wat in no contest,
As everyone utters "no see since birth."

One of the mighty empires in Asia,
In the world you were the greatest of the three,
For six centuries, you ruled Southeast Asia,
As your four-visage towers are all to see.

  WHAT A SPLENDID SCENE AT SUNSET

  Cambodia's rural landscape at sunset,
  Seeing it reminisces things to get,
  So memorable that makes smiles radiant,
  On your face to wish life to be brilliant.

  Placid in scene and copied deep in mind,
  With things to explore and there peace to find,
  That's the rural scenes seen in Cambodia,
  What lovely experiences gotten here !
