Valentine's Day
the cake left untouched
in the fridge

MacArthur Highway
losing count of the
belted trees

This is my first dos por dos poetry, a new form of poetry created by ErnestoP. Santiago, PH-Philippine Haiku FB group creator.

Tuwing Umaga

Sa paglapat nitong

Plantsadong polo shirt

Sa aking katawan,

Di maikaila

Ng kalamnan ko

Ang init ng ‘yong yakap;

Sa pagdampi nitong bibig

Sa labi ng tasa

Ng umaasong kape,

Nanunuot sa panlasa

Ang timpladong pait

At tamis ng ‘yong halik.

Akma ang lapat

At tama ang lasa

Ng pagsuyo mo, sinta.

holding clear round drops
of the purest dew
