‎30092012 true/harsh juxtaposition/disjunction: haiku in two distinct parts

 

amazing grace—
the water in the well
as it flows out

29092012 how we treat the earth

 

oil spilled;
a passing dolphin
towed to shore

–

dumping garbage…
to my neighbor I return
what they owned

–

crude oil in the sea
and the mantis shrimps—
seeing more colors?

–

orange sunset…
the color of shrimps
born without eyes

–

recycled materials;
these cups and bowls— the birds’ nests
from leaves and sticks

28092012 space exploration

 

walking on the moon
still fresh in people’s minds
global recession

–

space exploration—
the dust travels back
to its former place

–

dancing astronauts
in the outer space—
a good swarm of dust?

–

disaster in space—
the taikonaut’s small flaw
in chow chow’s silence

–

is the moon moving
away from the earth?
who wants to go first?

–

of the outer space
the great importance
of money to spend

27092012 a one-line haiku- jux & cut(s)/break(s)

 

mind a small patch of flowers awakening

of her love letter

 

of her love letter
the collectible stamp
of bar-headed geese

 

-honorable mention in Diogen Autumn Haiku 2012. hmm, not bad! but oops, they misspelled my country!

‎26092012 the impossible true

 

the earth smells
after it rains
of fishes

‎25092012 the news

 

golden dawn
on the rise—
the black sea

24092012 kid(s) / child(ren)

 

Sampaguita
a homeless child
sells her story

–

sleepless night—
my bed sharing baby
still sucking

23092012 tea/coffee & the universe (micro/macro cosmos)

 

kapeng binusang bigas
gumising ako’t inamoy
ang makabagong pisika

toasted rice coffee
I wake up and smell
the modern physics

–

naghahatid ng mga diwa
mula sa dobleng pader
ng isang tasa— pulang mga labi

transmitting senses
from the double wall
of a cup— red lips

‎22092012 flying things (Tagalog / English)

 

sarangola ng bata
kontra sa hangin
di pa rin ako makalipad

a child’s kite
against the wind
still I can’t fly

–

hanging habagat
sa paliparan
isip ko lumipad

south wind
on the runway
my mind flies

–

ang platong lumilipad
nakita niyang bigla—
pero mintis sa kanyang ulo!

the flying saucer
she suddenly sees—
but misses his head!
