john tiong chunghoo Poems

taller than
the Seven Summits
Kit DesLauriers
...

reading a 13th century poet
feeling the sun circling round me
and all the inaccuracies it cast onto me
...

lucky gate
opposite house's buddha
oversees it
...

first snow --- looking into/
the mirror for a better time/a geisha
...

death - we go on
into another dream
another place
...

Chinese calligraphy:
i hear wolf howl
goat bleat
deer grunt
...

Austin Sixth Street
he enters another bar
humming a tune of last bar
...

Squaw Valley
not as impossible as
Scot Schmidt's records
...

(poetry in progress)
slyvia looks for words to fit into her imagination
and calling of her art as inspiration carries her in
a carriage to her shangrila, poetic land
...

the cycle of births
from my hand, a pigeon pecks peas
grain by grain
...
