Sunday afternoon--
Sean Marie strokes
the sun in our home

The above haiku was written by my Tatay and was published in Post Poems, an ejournal.

Cold Front

During the day, the temperature is hot but it's cold in the early dawn. This is one reason why so many people, young and old, here in Iloilo have running nose and cough.

Like me.

For several days now, I have this cold. And running nose.

I have become irritable.

It is good that my parents have been helping me. They immediately brought me to the doctor.

But still I have this bad cold.

My Papa's Hobby

There are several aquaria in our house.
In these aquaria are flowerhorns and guppies, which my Papa has set up.
Inside our house , we have one aquarium that has two flowerhorns.
When Papa takes me a picture, I usually stand beside this aquarium.
