BONSAI: A Literary Exploration
Edith Tiempo was a Filipino writer known for her poem "Bonsai". The poem depicts love as something that can be scaled down and preserved like a bonsai tree, kept in a small space but representing nature. It suggests love and memories can be handed down from generation to generation. The discussion analyzes the poem through three lenses: how it presents love as requiring self-control and responsibility; how scaling love down allows it to be passed on; and how a woman's role is to propagate love and values to younger people. The overall theme is that love needs to be distilled into simpler forms to last longer without overwhelming someone.
