WRITERS WORKSHOP

Magtanim ay di biro

Michael Thomas Nelmida

Dito sa aking

munting ari-

arian, magtanim

kang buto, ilulubog

sa kalaliman, matagal

mong paiinitan.Araw-

araw mong didiligan.

Araw-araw kong

aalagaan. Kahit

gaano kalalim

ang punla, walang

inaasahang bunga.


Planting is not a joke

Here in my

tiny

property, plant

a seed, plant it

deep, for a long time

soak it in the sun.

Water it daily.

Daily, I will

tend to it. No matter

how deep

the seed is, it won’t

bear fruit.
