Answer 1

Gabu

- Carlos Angeles

Answer:

• The poem "Gabu" by Carlos Angeles, creates a metaphor that represents life in the form of a sea.

• Gabu is a place in Ilocos Norte where typhoons occur often. Typhoon Imbudo in 2003 affected this place greatly.

• The poet wants to emphasize that life is like that sea where it can be rough throughout the changes of its courses yet it meets the shore like life does.

• When the sea is stable likewise life is, there is only love for all and the beauty of the sea reflects.
