Ang Alamat ng Bunggaitan
Bakit at paano nga ba
Na ang tawag sa
Kanilang inalagaan
Noong 2010 ay “Bunggaitan”?
Gayong ang salitang ito
Ay nagsimula lamang mauso
Noong 2011 sa isang programa
Na kung tawagin ay “Amaya”
Isang binukot na mahiwaga
Naging guro rin siya
Nagturo rin sa mga bata
Gaya ng Adviser ng “Ang Bunga”
Ito ang tawag nila
Sa babasahin kong nilikha
Tinawag nga rin itong muta
Ng isa sa ating tagapangalaga
Kakulay nga ng dilaw na dumi sa MATA
Ang logo nitong hinog na mangga
Na sa simula palang ay nais nang pitasin
Dahil sa laylayan lamang ito nakabitin
Itong Bunga ng Bunggaitan
Sa wakas ay natikman
Ilang buwan sa pagsisimula
Na mapanood si Amaya
Na kinamuhian din ng mga
Nakatataas sa kanya
Ani Aristotle: “Sa Ed, ang Bunga matamis
Samntalang ang mga ugat ay nakakainis.”

My 20th Leaf
Plucked thee from near ground
Sprouts independent
On clayey barren
It's the weed type one
A pretty wild “fern”!
Basco family
Neighbor but not kin
Are they owning it?
Now that it's a weed?
Yet on their domain?
January Thirteenth
Friday Twenty Twelve
Old Nong Toging's wake
Night before burial
Saw some my students
Neighborhood to North
Way to the crossing
Not along the road
Front concrete abode
Beside bamboo fence
Friday the Thirteenth
Last day – Amaya
Hour after watch it
Saw CapSU students
I & some cousins!

My 19th Leaf
Plucked thee from near ground
Outdoor ornament
On Bermuda grass
It's the plant type one
Decorative “fern”!
By Hachuela clan
Neighbor relative
It belongs to them
Planted by someone
To grace their front yard
January Thirteen
Friday Twenty Twelve
Ante Aclet's wake
Night before burial
And saw Marvic G.
Neighborhood to South
Way to Codingle
Not along the road
Yellow-painted house
Just in front its porch
Friday the Thirteenth
Last day – Amaya
Hour before watching
Saw CapSU backers
I, Nanay & kin!
