Sea Gypsies
my
skin were
like a morning
rays,
that rose
in the sky,
almond
shape eye,
dark with the dusk,
round ,
monsoon face
pure timid lips,
grandma talked often
best she could -
don't forget the
past, where
we -
sailed across the
orient waves
seeking -
and the seagulls,
the boat
and
our fading heritage,
make it
alive -
where we came,
where we gone.
Hay (na) ku form created by Ellen Tabios. A Filipino poet
And been recognized for her contribution at poet society.
It read like hayku but it isn't coz of the expanding
Syllables and meters. I like hayku but art were easily
Killed by author with its restrict rule. This wasn't perfect
But why wouldn't I try.
