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.
