Home
by Diana Ly
It is like a large open book of memories,
With big rooms and wide doorways,
It smells of cookies baking in the oven,
I can hear the bark of my dog.
Upstairs are the disorganized rooms of
me and my sisters,
The huge room of my mother’s,
And the long hall of closets, My home is a large picture of my life.
Mommy
by Criselle Bautista
Wears brown shoes and pretty dresses
Fixes our things and never makes a mess
In the afternoon, makes peanut butter
And most of all I love her sandwiches,
As much as the rain.

Ang Walang Saysay
na Buhay ni Patricia
ni Laarni C. Jocson
Dalaga pa si Mansie,
Ikinuwento niya siya’y naglalakad sa Buendia.
Tinutukso ng kanyang barkada na siya’y anghel, “Ows,
talaga?”
Nag-blush si Patricia, “Anghel na nauna ang mukha sa lupa
sa burak na nakalagay sa kainan ng baboy sa loob ng kanilang kural.”
Magmula noon, iniwasan niya ang kanyang barkada
Hanggang makita niya sa isang despedida party ng
Kanyang pilay na pinsan ang aking amang may ketong.
Tinanong ni Papey kung sino siya at gaya ng inaasahan,
sila’y nagkahulugan ng loob, buti na lang at nasalo ni
Impong ang pusa nilang dalawa dahil muntik na
itong mahulog sa imburnal.
Ang kanilang pagmamahalan ay humantong sa kasalan
Sumakay sila sa 4th band at sila'y nasiraan.
Buti na lang may nakaparadang bisikleta,
humantong sa liblib na lugar at ang resulta,
kami'y isang pamilya.
Isang Araw sa Buhay ni Pepot
ni Mardelyn S. Lorenzo
Isang masayang umaga
nakangiting bumangon si Pepot
Sumilip siya sa bintana
at nakita niya ang kapitbahay niyang naliligo
Nahulog sa bintana, sinalo ni Rizza.
Hinalikan niya si Rizza, sinuntok ni Bitoy
Boyfriend pala ni Rizza si Bitoy
Sinuntok ni Pepot at tumilapon si Bitoy
Napunta sa bahay ng kapit-bahay na naliligo
Nagulat si Bitoy sa mukha na nakita
Kamukha ni Zorayda pati katawan.
Nakita ng katulong, biglang sumigaw
Narinig ni Lolo, biglang lumabas
Sa kanyang nakita’y biglang natulala
Niyayang pakasal si Bitoy ni Lolo
Para sa kanyang kaisa-isang anak
Pumayag si Bitoy ‘wag lang ikulong
Ikinasal sila sa pinakamalapit na simbahan
Sa honeymoon nama’y naghahabulan.
Boys
by Ma-an Abacan
Boys are a cross between a lion
and a mouse
Like soldiers…always at war
Making their mothers want to abandon them

Girls
by Paul Mark Gutierrez
I see them in their sweet smiles
But I hear silly expressions hard to understand.
But I don’t feel so sad, for they are
not bad,
They just scream when there are rats for they are also like them.
