(Haiku is a very short form of Japanese poetry. Traditionally it has 17 syllables in 3 phrases, 5, 7, 5, respectively. I hope you enjoy the following, or better yet maybe try writing some on your own.)
Kubo
Ang pulitiko,
May mansyon. Simpleng tao?
Sa ba-haiku-bo.
*******
Syota
Seksing syota ko,
Sinimot at tinangay,
Pati ba-haiku.
*******
Gayuma
Tsurang kabayo,
Nilasing ako. Ngayo’y
Lab ng bu-haiku.
*******
Trono
Magarang trono,
Naupo ako. Surot!
Pesteng bu-haitu.
*******
Trapik
Grabeng trapik ‘to
Late na naman sa klase,
Kick-out! Hainaku!
