God for the Day
by: Heidi Eusebio-Abad


Just for today,
God let me play
Maker of the day.

Owl's eyes to see,
Bat's fur for the body,
Movements like a monkey.

To make it even better,
I decided to name her
The Philippine tarsier

 




Tarsier
by: JNV Cruz


Two circles,
Big circles,
Swinging back and forth.
In the dark, shining,
Twin flashes blinking
Swinging back and forth.
I think you are ice cream
Large scoops of ice cream,
Would you let me scoop
Your eyes big as ice cream?
But you swing so swiftly
From tree to tree
Like Tarzan you are, tarsier
Leaving me, leaving me…
