WINTER POEMS

WINTER POEMS

TANKA

around

the bonfire

of used Christmas cards

the homeless gather

hugging warmth

HAIKU

Christmas program

the deaf children sing

in sign languagee

day after Christmas

she gives a used card

to her shelter friend

chilly night

under its darkness

hides my loneliness

Tagalog version

gabing malamig

sa iyong dilim nagtatago

aking kalungkutan

To all my friends and followers of my blog, have a healthy and peaceful New Year!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

To all my readers and visitors to my blog, have a Merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year! With this coming new year, I might not be able to post here frequently as I have started compiling my 4th book in time probably with my birthday. Do drop by once in a while and leave a note or two. Happy holidays everybody!!!

Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND A PEACEFUL NEW YEAR
TO EVERYBODY!

Christmas shopping

alone
amidst
frenzied shoppers
I'll buy myself
a Christmas present


Tagalog version

nagiisa
sa maraming namimili
bibili ako ng regalong
pampasko
para sa akin

In my book,
Rustle of bamboo leaves

Child's Christmas Gifts

trickle of water
gushes to torrent
child’s Christmas gift

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May we all share love, peace and good-will with everybody, in and out of our family. May the coming year give us more love and less hate, a smile instead of a frown, and kindness without expecting anything in return. Good health and happiness to all!

Women shopping

after the holiday
I vow not to join
women shopping again

Christmas advent

Prince of Peace advent
He brings joy, love and hope
to a troubled world
