I'm honored to have one of my haiku featured in this week's issue of HAIKU NEWS VOL 1 NO. 39 along with haiku from Claire Everett, Ted van Zutphen, Nu Quang, and Manu Kant.
The haiku selected, out of five that I sent in, is truly memorable for it is based on a childhood moment. I used to help my parents by selling fruits near our house to supplement our income. I sold pineapple slices, duhat(black plums), siniguelas, pakwan (watermelon), etc after classes especially before sunset. By the end of the day, I'd count how much I made and how many black plums I didn't sell and, as a result, I'd eat them or share them with my sister, cousins or neighbors if they were still edible. Otherwise, I'd just throw them in the garbage can.
