228 My 37th Leaf

228.

My 37th Leaf



Got thee at breast high

While newly arrived

A flowering plant

But has no odor

It's a “yellow bell”!



Owned by religious

The Catholic Church

Of town of Miagao

I'm with Vet. Med. II

And BEEd II



Just finished raining

A cloudy morning

About nine-fifteen

Day twenty-seventh

Of month September



Right facing the front

Of quaint Miagao Church

A landscaped area

Near the tall pillar

With yellow flowers



Of course I must get

A leaf from a place

Where I was once part

When I'm in college

Oh how my heart jumps?!
