POEM STARTER
Write a tanaga about how sunshine makes you feel.
A tanaga is a form of Filipino poetry often compared to haikus. Tanagas use 4 lines of 7 syllables each, and are often full of metaphors.
Girl In The Sun
It passes through my skin
Straight to my soul
The warmth consumes me
Swallows me whole
I’m a little girl
In the heaven-verging field
Flowers tickle my toes
I don’t know what is real
In the sun I am awake
I stop shaking
I begin think straight
I am here only briefly
In this curvy vessel
I need light to survive
To pass the threshold
I bathe in the rays
I breathe in the sun
Mother of earth
I run and I run
