Marites C. Cayetano Poems

too much rain
worries the farmer
peaches pale.
...

Wait
until the fruit is fully ripe
so you can taste
its sweetness.
...

rain breaks
birds on electric wires
do re me.
...

young swallows
leave early this morning
first journey.
...

Sa buhay
na puno ng pagsubok
mga paghihirap at luha
pagod at pawis
...

This changing world...
where children hear
not only the voice of their mother
where children eat
...

oh, rain
gently when you fall
my crops are now ready for harvest
I beg you
...

in the mountain
there are trees
in the sea
there are fishes
...

You can't stop me from calling
to ask you if you're alright
because I care.
...
