Bamboo craft Peddler

A world of his own on wheels,

the art that never dies,

of his forebears and ours, too,

where our culture lies. 

 

Tree House

I love to go up to this cozy lair -

porch, lighthouse, tower - 

coming close to my beginning

when the world was kinder

Pottery

Ancient art and source of living

by the river that never ceases;

clay the begining of time and life,

the making of masterpieces 

Museum

Travel in time past and in the future,

things gone and shall be gone 

and feel you are a part, and all of us,

ever since the world began.

Biggest fruit

Nangka or langka, it's the world's biggest,

yet borne from a fairly small tree;

if there's some mistake, take the pakwan,

borne from a vine crawling free.   

Market Scene

Dawn is a sleeping child dreaming,

while life goes on in reality;

wouldn't the stars come down to earth

and bring joy and sanity.

Hammock Tree

Take my toils away at the close of day,

carry my heavy load from school,

if you're gifted with roots and limbs this way,

buoy my spirit happy and full.
