was hit by a stone. The poor creature was
unable to fly because of the pain and the

tree. But before it hit the ground, it
expressed its worry that another bird will
be sad by the former’s demise and that the
man was too cruel for taking an innocent
living being's life.

AWARDS
• The poem entitled “Bonsai” written by Edith
Tiempo talks about love in terms of a plant
“Bonsai”. Bonsai is a perennial woody plant
that has the features of a tree. In the poem, it
describes how a Bonsai could be related to
love. Many say that love is a huge
monumental feeling that is found in every
little aspects of life. This award-winning poet
describes how love could be scaled down
into a “cupped hand size”.
• However, we are limiting ourselves, which in
return, makes our hearts smaller than it could
really be. Another literary image shown in the
poem is the metaphor “Till seashells are
broken pieces from God’s own bright teeth”.
Seashells are said to be nature, which are
slowly being destroyed by man. Man would
then pay the price and man would later be
judged by God. This goes to show that
everything needs to come to an end and that
nothing lasts forever.
The title “Bonsai” would at first seem
as an inappropriate title for the poem,
but as you read the poem over and
over again, you would come to realize
that the poem speaks for a Bonsai
plant. Bonsai is a special type of plant
wherein you would have to limit it
growth by constantly cutting or
trimming its artistic shape.
Similarly, love could not be perceived to
be something very general or large
because too much of something would
not do any good. It is essential to keep
everything to limit it to a smaller size in
order to maintain all its features.
Furthermore, any bonsai plant will not live
forever. There would come a time wherein
it would die or fade away.
Likewise, love does not always last
forever. It would always be there but
it would never be the same.
Sometimes, it may fade away if it is
left unattained or it would just die
down once it loses control. Thus,
bonsai and love should be properly
cultivated and respected for it to
attain its deepest purpose.
