Here are samples of my haiku and tanka in English and Tagalog, Philippine language, part of my poems just published in the latest issue of Sketchbook, Vol. 6, No. 1, January/February 2011.
HAIKU
wrong trail turn
the scent and sight
of wildflowers
Tagalog
maling daan
bango at tanawin
bulaklak na ligaw
TANKA
the silent sound
of her absence
fills their room
only the echoes
of yesterday remain
Tagalog
napuno ang kanilang silid
ng tahimik na ugong
nang kanyang pagkawala
gunita ng kahapon
siya lang naiwan
