I am born in the Philippines and moved to the beautiful island of Maui, HI. at the age of 8. I am multilingual and adept in speaking Tagalog and Ilocano, two distinct dialects of the Philippines. Along with those two mentioned above, I took a bit of Japanese back in high school and grew up speaking English most of my life.
I'm currently a sophomore at Eastern Oregon University and is pursuing a Biology Degree with a minor in Anthropology and possibly chemistry.
Wow, Melanie! What a beautiful poem. I like the connection between the playing children and the multi-colored leaves. Nancy
ReplyDeleteThis haiku brought back so many wonderful memories as a child. Where did all the time go.
