Why 1,575 haikus? Because my darlingest Annelies Marie Frank lived 15.75 years in this world.

My Ate Mane

My Ate Mane
is a down-to-earth person,
real as real can be.

She is an artist
with a passion for her art;
a wife and mother.

Above all,
she's fam'ly.

Two less lonely people in the world...

Happy birthday, Kirk!

Now, this is what I mean when I say that
my ate and my kuya are real stars -


Real Stars

Some stars are fake, some are real -
of the fake ones, the heart can feel,
because of the real ones,
when one can tell -
it's their nearness to our earth
that makes it sell.

Real stars shine with a warmth
that often reaches us
and are full of genuine concern
but fake ones really don't connect
as much as we would like,
their light is not as warm and comforting
as far as the heart can tell
they could be as far from our earth
as heaven is to hell.
