7:50pm at the moment

Live news briefing went on a break

Aren’t you angry enough yet
Wake up, tick-tock !
you have two minutes
for the haiku showdown:
Use “disin sana” and “bakuna” in a haiku lockdown

Your prize: you would have figured out
who are making a fast buck
In favor of China-made 50%-effective Sinovac…

 

Go…!

Grabe, ang daming haiku ni Danny ngayong araw; gagawan ko nga ng haiku si Danny—siya si Danny Arao

Nakasampung haiku isang araw na tweet


Madaling basahin di kelangan i-edit


Pero hindi raw siya ang lalaking-Taylor-Swift (nakadalawang album, sobrang prolific

sa gitna ng delubyo at pandemic )


Pag-iisip na matalas, panulat na malinaw


Kapanalig, kaibigan, siya si Danny Arao.

Haiku in the style of Justice Leonen (best viewed on Google Chrome)

i saw you tonight in a dream

 

 

 

but you were inside a Zoom screen

 

 

 

Here i am haiku-writin’

 

 

 

Like Justice Marvic Leonen

 

 

 

But i’m slayin’ the rhymin’.
