Millennial expressions in poems can be attuned to their way of thinking and living. Consequently, this qualitative study utilized poems composed by millennial learners in a Phillippine Literature course and explored the embedded themes. Theme, as a literary device, was focused in this investigation. Textual analysis was employed to analyse, interpret, and describe the central ideas of the poems, explaining millennial voices in a literature classroom. Six themes emerged and centered on love, family, dream self, life sacrifices, friendship, and gratefulness to God. Moreover, seven subthemes were identified under the theme of love, which were forsaken love, unrequited love, confused love, physical admiration, familial love, companionate love, and self-love. The themes were deemed replications of the millennial experiences in the generation. Poetry hence offers gauging strategy of eliciting immediate, meaningful life experiences of millennial in particular. Literature teachers are then tapped to hear the millennial learners and use their voices as springboard in engaging productive, sympathetic literature classrooms.
