Notes About The Poem

Philippines Pride

three stars and a sun

                  heroes shed blood for freedom

                       waves proudly in sky.

This is an excellent senryu to honor our state's flag my very dear friend, Aiyah. I love it soo much. You did it Very well. I'm so delighted to read it tonight. I wrote a poem as well to honor our flag. At first, I was thinking of Haiku or senryu, but then I found it quite hard so, I came up with an idea of using just 3- lines verse. I don't know if it's ok. By the way, how are you? Hope you're doing well. I miss you! Sending hugs and smiles from me! love lots, Leonora

Aiyah, this is nice. A suggestion for the last line is to say "proudly" Also that will give you five syllables. And if you said three stars and A sun, you will have five syllables on the top as well!! Good luck in the contest.

Flags can represent so many things, but nothing is greater than when freedom rings. Thanks for sharing Aiyah
