96 My 23rd Leaf

96.

My 23rd Leaf



Picked thee from a shrub

Part of this poem job

Almost forgot thee

‘Til student told me

It's “morning glory”!



A school property

But not CapSU-D

Also a public

Bigger, more classic

With BEEd 4



Wrote this night after

Our fieldtrip venture

Picked thee morning late

On Feb. Twenty-Eight

At about Twelve noon



Meters from the gate

West Visayas State

University

Next province city

Of Iloilo



TED students my dear

Second to fourth year

There's no one did bar

Our going afar

On field trip we are!
