Melissa O. Macadat is a 24-year-old poet who continuously dream to reach the stars in the distant skies. She is an embodiment of melancholy as she sees something beautiful out of the dying light, the grey clouds, the pouring rain, the breaking heart and the aging soul.
She likes how the melody of sadness deeply rips through the words and verses she creates. She is a graduate of BSED English at the only State College in the province of Masbate. She is also working as a Contract of Service Instructor in the same institution.
To further hone her craft and love for literature, she is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Literature at Cebu Normal University. She is also one of the contributors of Magkasintahan Volume XXIV published by Ukiyoto Publishing.

Poetry transcends various emotions overflowing from a poet’s heart. It is a reflection of the spontaneous bleeding of words recollecting bliss and melancholia hidden in each manifold of experiences. These emotions unfold as the poet advance to the different phases, cycles and circumstances that life throws upon. From waking up in the morning and basking in the sun to staying up all night fighting the monsters inside the mind, listening endlessly to the rain; from believing in the magic of love to neglecting its romance; from dreaming and believing to failing and dying and back again.
These leaves of poetry are examples of how the poet grow, shed and let go from the tree of life and love that holds and shelters her all these years. As time fleets by and the wind of fate reels into the night, the leaves start to drift and wander into the unknown until they slowly but painfully fall into the empty ground, dead.
