My Summer

Last summer, my family and I went to a beautiful beach in Palawan. The water was so clear that I could see fish swimming around my feet, and the sand felt soft and warm. We stayed in a cozy cottage by the shore, and every morning, I woke up to the sound of waves crashing gently. My favorite part was when we went island hopping and saw colorful corals while snorkeling.

It was the best vacation I ever had. That night, something unexpected happened that made the trip even more unforgettable.

Daisy Dreamer

Your pure white amidst pitch black Your light is mine, it comes back I place a daisy in your hair For they match your eyes, so bright and fair

You run on fields inside your head Make-believe it’s clouds when you’re lying on the bed Candlelit room but you’re the power In a garden full of weeds, you’re the perfect flower

Heart beating loudly, it booms You are in a rush, I would assume Don’t run or you’ll trip and skin your knee Pebbles can take down giants, it’s fatality

Small, sweet saint Pang a piece of peace to paint With big, bold brush strokes Have hope, let it handle the hoax

Down on your knees, daisy dreamer Revel in the radiance of the righteous redeemer

- Telma Florele, 5/24/25
