WHAT’S NEW
Edith L. Tiempo (April 22, 1919 – August 21, 2011), poet, fiction writer,
teacher and literary critic was a Filipino writer in the English language.
Tiempo was born in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya. Her poems are intricate
verbal transfigurations of significant experiences as revealed, in two of her
much anthologized pieces, "Halaman" and "Bonsai." As fictionist, Tiempo is
as morally profound. Her language has been marked as "descriptive but
unburdened by scrupulous detailing." She is an influential tradition in
Philippine Literature in English. Together with her late husband, writer and
critic Edilberto K. Tiempo, they founded (in 1962) and directed the Silliman
National Writers Workshop in Dumaguete City, which has produced some of
the Philippines' best writers. She was conferred the National Artist Award for
Literature in 1999.
What do you value in life? Do you value the same thing the persona
in the poem holds dear?
Read the poem and discover if you have the same experience
with the persona.

Questions:
WHAT IS IT
Elements of Poetry
Imagery is the concrete representation of a sense impression, feeling, or
idea that triggers our imaginative ere-enactment of a sensory experience.
Images may be visual (something seen), aural (something heard), tactile
(something felt), olfactory (something smelled), or gustatory (something
tasted). Imagery may also refer to a pattern of related details in a poem.
Alliteration is a repetition of the same consonant sounds in a sequence of
words, usually at the beginning of a word or stressed syllable: “descending
dew drops;” “luscious lemons.” Alliteration is based on the sounds of letters,
rather than the spelling of words; for example, “keen” and “car” alliterate,
but “car” and “cite” do not.
6
Connotation, on the other hand, refers to the associations that are
connected to a certain word or the emotional suggestions related to that
word. The connotative meanings of a word exist together with the
denotative meanings. The connotations for the word snake could include evil
or danger.
Repetition is a literary device that repeats the same words or phrases a few
times to make an idea clearer and more memorable.
WHAT'S MORE
1. What image does the speaker in the poem begin to present in the first
stanza?
2. What does “Bonsai”, symbolize?
3. What is the message/ theme of the poem?
4. What figurative language is presented in this line? To a cupped hand’s
size” in the third stanza.
