the tear

I fight back to hide . . .

misty morning

(Filipino translation)

ang luhang

pilit kong tinatago . . .

mahamog na umaga

The Collaborative Photo-Haiku Project (Entry 10)

     This is my very first Filipino translation. I haven't tried it before because Filipino words are often longer and it's not easy to write the exact translation. I'm going to challenge myself though as I write more haiku for Tif's blog. Let's see what I can come up with :-)
