For Sale: Katre with Poem

Tolatoonz Katre with Poem
Today’s TulaToonz by Edelio De los Santos.

A photograph went viral on social media showing a sign for a “katre” (wooden bedframe) “with poem” instead of “with foam” or foam mattress. It inspired us to wonder: what could be done on a “katre with poem?”

“Katre with poem” is in the form of a Diyona, a native Filipino poetry form that has three lines, seven syllables each line, and has a monorhyme. The diyona is usually performed during weddings.

Katre with Foam dapat ‘yun eh! Pero ano nga ba ang pwedeng gawin sa Katre with Poem? Ang tulang ito ay isang Diyona: katutubong tulang Filipino na may 3 linya o taludtod at 7 pantig bawat taludtod at madalas binibigkas sa mga kasalan. poetry tula philippines filipino
