john tiong chunghoo Poems

i wish each of my haikus
to be a facet of the
diamond and a hundred haikus
its hundred facets clamouring
...

alas so many animals
have been butchered to extinction
now we are even bullying poor mother earth
chopping every generous hands it
...

Iguacu Falls
is there a better audience
for my song?
...

Birmingham International Dance Festival
the bellydance sweeps
us off our feet
...

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
...

candle
it is used to light up
your years
...

editor's giveaways
the only thing not taken
a poetry book
...
