What’s New
One of the developments of technology is the emergence of contemporary literary
forms/genres. The use of internet as a mode to showcase literature has aided in producing
various literary forms including web sharing and reading. The situation of the fast-changing
period of the 21st century has also influenced to the formation of shorter but comprehensive-
packed literary texts.
21st Century Literary Genre refers to work commonly published and shared on the web.
Unlike traditional printed literature, it has features that could only be presented through
multimedia.

lines with seven syllables each with the same rhyme at the end of each line - that is
to say a 7-7-7-7 syllabic verse, with an AABB rhyme scheme
➢ the modern tanaga still uses the 7777 syllable count, but rhymes range from dual
rhyme forms: AABB, ABAB, ABBA; to freestyle forms such as AAAB, BAAA, or
4
ABCD. Tanagas do not have titles traditionally because the tanaga should speak for
itself. However, moderns can opt to give them titles

picture book versions of traditional literature list the story as being told by, retold by, etc.
There is no actual author.
Traditional literature encompasses books rendered from oral tradition--stories that have
been passed down for ages (Kiefer, 2007)--and as a result are commonly shared throughout

Man of Earth
By Amador T. Daguio A Textula
By Frank Rivera
Pliant is the bamboo;
I am man of earth. Merong himala, hindi totoong wala
They say that from the bamboo Ituro ma’y mali, alam nati’y tama
We had our first birth. Kahit walang sagot itong panalangin
Hindi tumitigil ang ating paghiling.
Am I of the body,
Or of the green leaf? Walang nagturo na tayo’y makibaka
Do I have to whisper Ngunit sulirani’y ating binabata
My every sin and grief? Kahit may pangakong laging napapako
Sa anumang init, handa ring mapaso.
If the wind passes by,
Must I stoop, and try Sa ating puso’y may awit ng pag-asa
To measure fully Kahit titik nito’y hindi makabisa
My flexibility? Ang katotohana’y lalaging totoo
Basta maniwalang mayroong milagro.
