The Rising Sun
The rising sun
In Tacloban City
Keeps me thinking
Thinking of what the color of the western skies,
Of the setting sun in Cebu City without my wife

Weathered Coffee Cup

emails still waiting
for sun breaking

Amihan Breeze
Amihan breeze
now engulfs the Philippines
a headache to most parents
a fiesta among doctors
and drug stores

After Typhoon Frank
After Typhoon Frank
The streets of Kalibo
Look like Payatas--
A child looks
For her mother among the debris

Show What You Got
Show to your countrymen
What you have gotten
Isolation cells
Unknown graves

Discovery
The day I learned
That they are not my parents
I could not sleep
Wondering how cold my bed would be
Without them beside me
That they are not my parents
I could not sleep
Wondering how cold my bed would be
Without them beside me

Frank's Memories
After Frank left Panay
Everyone shared experiences
While shifting out
The debris Frank
Left behind

amat-amat
rang euha gatiurok sa anang tagipusuon
cicada
little by little
my tears penetrate her heart

Hailuwa
What is hailuwa?
This is a combination of haiku and luwa.
This is a new form of poetry which I invented.
Here is an example:
Hangin it Amihan--
Sa pag-agto ko sa baybay
May napueot akong sigay
Ginbaylo ko it kaeamay.
