Chen-ou Liu Poems

a monarch
folds into silence...
budding petals
...

A Tanka Prose


in dreams
...

In his Christmas message, Pope Francis warned against 'a lust for power, hypocritical double lives and the lack of spiritual empathy among some men of God.'

'Repent, Ye Sinners! '
winter rain sweeping
...

black coffee
and 'NeverEnding Story'...
Christmas sunlight
spilling in
...

lingering smell
of this snowy loneliness...
my night without you
punctuated by the sounds
...

Chinese New Year
on the TV screen...
I whisper of home
in a voice
...
