THE JAPANESE PERIOD (1941-1945)
Philippine Literature was interrupted in its development when another foreign
country, Japan, conquered the Philippines between1941-1945. Philippine literature
in English came to a halt. This led to all newspapers not to be circulated in the
community except for TRIBUNE and PHILIPPINE REVIEW.
Filipino Poetry during this period
The common theme of most poems during the Japanese occupation was
nationalism, country, love, and life in the barrios, faith, religion, and the arts.
Three types of poems emerged during this period:
a. Haiku , a poem of free verse that the Japanese like. It was made up of 17 syllables
divided into three lines and b. Tanaga – like the Haiku, is short, but it had measure
and rhyme.
c. Karaniwang Anyo (Usual Form)
