Rengga/Haiku, Andoy, Kenneth and Darwi Castellano

I asked my kids to do a rengga with me last week. Kenneth is an
incoming third year high school student and Darwi is a sophomore in
the same high school. We had fun with this exercise.

Rengga/Haiku
by Andoy, Kenneth and Darwi Castellano

thin cloud draped sunset
pretty orange painted sky
always there at dusk

fresh wind blew at dawn
evergreen trees are sweeping
reaching dark wet clouds

roses are blooming
standing tall by the road
gives inspiration

cockroach on the floor
walking alone wandering
sometimes at top speed

hungry elephant
goes to the wild for some food
tired of bland zoo fare

grass are sometimes wet
waking and reaching high
seeking for sunlight

cat lounging in dust
looking lonely in the dark
wants to be in peace

good smelling flower
fragrance swooping everywhere
dama de noche

naughty little bee
dark against a bed of blooms
flying with his friends

I posted this with the Pinoy Poets last week.
