SANGGOL

Pag ang sanggol ay ngumiti


nawawala ang pighati,
pag kalong mo’y sumisidhi
ang pangarap na punyagi.

PAG-IBIG

Wala iyan sa pabalat


at sa puso nakatatak,
nadarama’t nalalasap
ang pag-ibig na matapat.

GALIT

Ang damdami’y sumisikdo


sa balitang di-totoo;
habang sila’y nanunudyo,
poot nag-aalimpuyo.

The Tanaga is an indigenous type of Filipino poem, that is used traditionally in the Tagalog language.
The modern tanaga is used in a variety of Philippine languages and English due to popularity in the 20th
century. Its usage declined in the later half of the 20th century, but was revived through a collectivity of
Filipino artists in the 21st century. The poetic art uses four lines, each line having seven syllables only.
The art exemplifies teachings, idioms, feelings, and ways of life. It contains many figures of speech.
