The study served as a preliminary exploration of Charito J. Pizarro’s notion of poetic indecorum using the two criteria she set within the concept which are: 1) vocabulary mobility, and 2) the switching from syntactic logic to metaphorical logic using three of Jose Garcia Villa’s poems. The study’s findings revealed that these three poems exhibit both vocabulary mobility and switching from syntactic logic to metaphorical logic. In addition, these two criteria functioned as part of the author’s stylistic choice and as an attempt to expand the meaning of words. Finally, given these findings, the study also proposed a preliminary definition of what poetic indecorum is in the context of Jose Garcia Villa’s poems. Finally, as a venue for further studies, it would worthy to look at other poems, particularly local ones, and subject them in analysis using the same framework to provide a more thorough discussion on what constitutes and the limits the concept of poetic indecorum.
