55 My 11th Leaf

55.

My 11th Leaf



Rended thee from herb

Released from thy curb

Curative floral

Sure medicinal

“Kalamantigue”!



Our neighbor nearest

Uncle for me best

Tatay's next brother

To me godfather

Nice Dudoy Etic



This night near nine, ten

This day – eleven

This month – eleven

This year - eleven

Brown-out, full moon bright



Dudoy Etic's fence

Outside adjacence

Rare luminescence

Utter silence

Almost front gate's door



Enroll I finish

MAT English

Salingsing polish

Begin fitness wish

Saw Iglot first last!
