HAIKU
lack of rain
still no news
of their runaway daughter
Tagalog
kulang sa ulan
wala pa ring balita
lumayas na anak
a fly on top
of the carabao
the mighty one
Tagalog
nakasakay
sa likod ng kalabaw
makapangyarihan
TANKA
from a distance
at the appointed time
I wait for your smile
to bask once more
in your smile
Tagalog
sa abot ng tanaw
at takdang panahon
hintay ang sulyap mo
nang muling mamasdan
ang iyong ngiti
From my book,
Haiku and tanka harvest
