Poems by John Barrios
JOHN BARRIOS
LAPIDA
dikara ga hamyang
ro eawas it sangka pinalangga.
madali eang
ro mabuhay nga nagtaliwan,
owa eang inabuti
it pilang buean
ro pilang dag-on
nga pagkinitkit
it mga ueod
sa anang unod,
hueoyapong toe-an
eon lang do nabilin
sa libot it gakusmaod
nanang ngagngag.
indi magbuhay,
bag-ong lapida eon man
do mahuman
nga kaparehas sa ana
nga madali eang bayluhan.

She finished her secondary and tertiary education in Aklan College, Kalibo, Aklan. Now she works as a University Research Associate at the University of the Philippines in Diliman (UPD). At the same time, she is working for her master’s degree in education majoring in guidance and counseling at UPD where she is also studying French language.

Her other haiku were included in Sakura Anthology of Haiku published in Sweden along with other world famous haijin like Robert D. Wilson, Michael Rehling, an’ya, and 27 other poets, The Makata, Short Stuff, and in Poetry Country Mouse. Her popular blog,http://Short.Poems.blogspot.com, that features her short poems: haiku, tanka, and cinquain, has been instrumental in her introduction to world haiku.
Here are some of her works:
Haiku Selections
inside a train
the city
moves faster too
canoe-shaped moon
tonight, your beauty
floats
tired of seeing
the world, the snail—
a recluse again
drooping eyelids
the moon
looks smaller now
Tanka Selections
Burying
the box from the attic
was full of letters, faded ink
those soulless papers — haunting
it wasn't that easy
putting him to rest.
Poet in Love
for you, I'll begin to write
this poem, a new set
of words with my heart
full of yearning
I could not speak.
Forgetting Time
we sit side by side
under the graceful stars
our hands entwined
dawn has arrived
too soon.
