Bahay Kubo Iii

BAHAY KUBO III A makeshift house Walking distance by the sea No matter how poor and humble It is a house and a home Made of light materials Bamboos, cogons, and madre cacaos Relatives and friends helped me Built this through thick and thin inspired Sometimes, laughing at its posture But we are definite We live on it sharing and enjoying company, despite We shall put decors little by little Wood carvings and our poems and pics in frame We are sure we’ll make a shift life from abroad to rural lives Bringing out our love in fresh air days Enjoying the dragon fruit blooms And under moonlight nites! Terms: Bahay Kubo -- a small hut Cogons--a wild plant that can be gathered when mature and can be used as a roof. It is not so popular anymore as roofs have been replaced with more durable materials in the market. Madre cacao-- A tree in the Philippines which has several general purposes. Its big branches can be used as posts for small houses. Dragon fruit--cactus-like tree, blooms only at night! It has anti-oxidant properties which help prevent cancer-causing free radicals.
