TulaToonz: Ang Suyuan nina Numerator at Denominator

TulaToonz Numerator at Denominator
Today’s TulaToonz by Edelio De los Santos.

They say numbers and figures tell stories. What story do fractions tell?

This poet used to dream of becoming a Math teacher, but now, he’s fine. Or maybe, actually worse: he wants to express in words what the numbers have failed to tell.

“Ang Suyuan nina Numerator at Denominator” is a tanaga, a short Filipino native poem with 4 lines of 7 syllables each. It is usually compared to Japan’s haiku, but a tanaga could even be considered better due to the flexibility of topics it can cover. Like Math.
