Magandang Araw sayo! I am a filipino-american poet and i just learned recently from my mother that my great-grandfather was a poet also!! This is extremely exciting for me and since I would really love a tattoo to celebrate this, however, my tagalog is really limited but i would like it to be in tagalog. I want to put: Child of Poetry, which I think is translated to: anak ng baliktasaan. Is that correct? What is the best way to say it? How is it spelled correctly? Please help!! Translate: Child of Poetry

I guess that would be, "Anak ng Balagtasan", I am not sure if there is word such as baliktasaan.

"Anak ng Panulaan" - that's what my friend said.
