Memories in the Old Acacia Tree
Jeffrey Umotoy
.
I love playing
Under the old acacia tree
Drawing my name on its husky trunk
And hiding to the warmth rays of the sun
I am here through My good and bad times
Remembering the days of the Blossoming flowers
Where grasshoppers chirps and hops through the lawn
I see the rosy red morning, and the orange yoLk sundown
I play with my peers, running, hiding to the acacia tree
Alone, all I do is get a twig and write to the ground
A malady came; I’m not allowed to go to the tree
I’m so sad, cry all day, happy days are gone
I plea to my mother to bring me to the tree
The tree have chaNge, it change a lot
I don’t feel I’m home, he left me
Not just the tree,
Everything’s gone
The rosy red morn’,
Blue sky and clouds
I can hear the chirps
But they seem hiding
All I can see is Dark
And all I can feel
Is the warmth of the sun.
High school, high school! Haha, I made this poem way back in high school, suppose-to-be entry sa english week celebration. Pero yun, di ko sya naipasa. Ok lang, wagi naman ang essay entry ko (yabang!) haha.

hmm…HS days…sad poem? i wonder why? if you hadn’t said that it was composed in your high school years eh i would think na recently lang to (considering you’re in the US away from family)…
nwei, i enjoy reading your blogs..i started w/ “why i love UP profs” and now your entries have been keeping me awake in my bed every night. sometimes making me ponder but most of the time making me laugh. hehe
Thanks! =D
