Cheryl Cheng Poems

Do tie your shoelace.
Don't fall on your face.

Do be nice and polite.
...

I am blind; I cannot see.
I touch my face. I wonder...
How do I look like?
I move from my neck to my jawbone.
...

Mother's brought milk and cookies.
No, this job is not for rookies.

Yes, I'm going to catch Santa Claus.
...

May is the horse
galloping throught hte fields.
May is the flowers
blooming everywhere.
...

The time has come; I'm filled with dread.
I calm myself: 'It's all in my head.'

I take a long deep breath.
...

I found a little bluebird,
and it was very absurd.

It had two wrongly crooked wings,
...

It's dark, it's empty, except for doors.
Your footsteps echo up and down.

The creak of the door gives you the chills,
...

In the dark there is
A single pair of sharp eyes
Looking out at you.
...

I took a walk in the morning,
Doing what I always do.
It was a bright and sunny day
When I met you.
...
