Riddle, Riddle the Man is in the Middle by Jose Sison Luzadas
Of the thirteen paintings by Renaissance masters, NOLI ME TANGERE is considered the best in the same genre, surpassing the work of Rubens, Carravaggio and Titian. The painter’s name, unfortunately, is not Jose Rizal but Correggio.

My new haiku attempts. The first six were submitted for the forthcoming issue of The Heron's Nest.

i.

turning green
after the rainy days
the Chocolate Hills

ii.

on bamboo poles
the Baybayin lives
of my ancestors

iii.

rice terraces
the golden stairways
to the sky

iv.

autumn night
the sweet fragrance
of sampaguita

v.

October moon
on a branch of kapol
an owl

vi.

ancient ritual
the smell of hay
burning

vii.

midnight rain
a mariposa flies
across the room

viii.

quiet river -
on a wild lily
white butterfly

ix.

war dance
footfalls of Ifugao braves
around the bonfire
