Tomas Talledo's Like Haiku

Prof. Tomas Talledo teaches political science courses at the College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, Miag-ao, Iloilo.
But he is a poet too. He is from Iloilo.

Here are some of his poems:

I Cry For Forest

Of what will heal earth?
Left cold on for barren road
seeds of proud trees fall

Diliman, Summer

Early bright flowers
when wind swept dark dead leaves.
Hot days are now here.

Call To Save Our Seas

Pink turtles tremble
when Mother Sea is poisoned
by deathly oil ships.

October Rain

Rains in October
Gently washed wrinkles away.
Monks are waking up.
