42 My 1st Leaf
42.
My 1st Leaf
Got thee from tiny
Six-leaf plant only
It's ornamental
But not so floral
It's a “fortune” plant!
Maybe it's father
Perhaps my mother
Or younger sister
But not me – never
Who cared to plant it
‘Twas here years ago
One, two, three or so
But leaf I picked, hey
Thirty first of May
Twenty eleven
Here inside our house
In living room, browse
On petite vase, lo
With water shallow
Near little Buddhas
‘Coz I must begin
So it's origin
Of my Tolada
Sunrise of saga
Pinoy poetry!

*My Toladas Collection…I invented this while I was in my first “hang-over” after bonding with highschool classmates
