Poetry Entry 7 -- Filipino Seasonal Symbols

For this week's assignment, we are asked to make either a Haiku or a Tanka about our country's seasonal symbols. Since I've done it before, I guess I'll just do lots of Haikus again :)) Yeah, poetz \m/

Ligo

Your sweat dripping down

Even right after a bath

I'll shower again

Halo-halo

I want something cold

I don't know what exactly

Just put everything

Aircon

My father will cry

The electric bill is so high

Turn it off, I die

Class Suspension

It's raining again

First thing I do, check the news

Please cancel classes

Class Suspension Part II

Who am I kidding

Suspensions are for weaklings

Go, Ateneo!

Class Suspension Part III

When we're all in school

That's when they'll cancel classes

Thanks for trapping us

Brownout

Thunder roars loudly

Silence, then my sister screams

Where are the candles

9/11 In the eyes of a blurry mind watching the TV

Over the window I watched a silver swallow
Descend on its flight swiftly past the first willow
It disappeared awhile until it landed on the second tree
It must've hit an anthive as little things ran on a spree
I wonder why the bird did what it did
But we each all have a different creed
Then I saw on the corner of the window
Figures with numbers they endow
Oh it's the birthday of my sister!
It's 9/11 does the window know her?
