Sea Gypsies

my skin were like a morning rays, that rose in the sky, almond shape eye, dark with the dusk, round , monsoon face pure timid lips, grandma talked often best she could - don't forget the past, where we - sailed across the orient waves seeking - and the seagulls, the boat and our fading heritage, make it alive - where we came, where we gone. Hay (na) ku form created by Ellen Tabios. A Filipino poet And been recognized for her contribution at poet society. It read like hayku but it isn't coz of the expanding Syllables and meters. I like hayku but art were easily Killed by author with its restrict rule. This wasn't perfect But why wouldn't I try.
