Marites C. Cayetano Poems

....and the farmer sing a song
a song of bountiful harvest.

His face covered with sweat
but he smiles as bright as the sun
...

Si Raul
pinalad sa ibang bayan
nang magbalikbayan
bumili ng bagong bahay
...

Birds build their own nests
one twig at a time
little by little.
...

Bakit mo ikinahihiya?
kung ikaw ay isang drayber, o mekaniko
elektrisyan, o tindera, tindero
tagapagluto, o magsasaka.
...

the rain
its trace on the leaves
peach glowing.
...

Oh, sunshine bright
don't give me that burning look
'cause I'll be shy
to watch you close.
...

your name is cherry
so I planted a cherry.

everyday
I watered the cherry
and the cherry grew big.
...

Of course
you've hurt me
when you said
I wasn't good enough
...
