The View From My Side of the Earth: December 8, 2014



 As Typhoon Ruby batters the country,

My side of the earth looks dire and gloomy,


 The view from my window

Only my plants look so happy and carefree,

As I watched the pattering of rains with my cup of coffee.


Vegetable patch in my backyard


Though the typhoon is wreaking havoc along its path,

I pray to the heavens and the angels above,


Welcome plant bought in Alabang Market

Families with little children now suffer from God's wrath,

Oh Dear Lord, have mercy! Heed our calls for the rains to stop.

Veggies needing trellis


Pechay reaching cooking stage
