john tiong chunghoo Poems

poetry is a picture of yourself
without you having to worry
what others would say of you
...

Ramli Ibrahim
his advice that still caught my heart
'do what knocks on your heart'
...

poetry is about getting real
with oneself while we go find
oneself in the mace of traffic
of human expressions
...

st barthelemy getaway
from their tongue a volcanic slang
the weight of dollars
...

earthquake karma remark
Sharon Stone's career
shakened
...

Imamura Shohei
that love of the orient
shines through his face
...

Holding Vietnam dearly
to my memory
Danang's Cham's bulbous deities
...

where does God
sign his name?

it is in the tottering
...

the old autograph of light blue,
yellow and brown, worn and
dogearred dances away from
time and its place in my memory
...
