john tiong chunghoo Poems

(poetry in progress)

such a great number of years
she has collected, one lucky gal
...

some writers write
as if they have all the
kitchen ware in their hands
so that when you read their work
...

crooked creek
the salmons return
straight
...

what an envy
these trishaw boys
every deal is in US dollars
...

Tokyo Sanno Masturi
the gods are too going
to see the emperor
...

wonder how Republicans
are going to retain the Presidency
so war engrossed they have lost
touch with the reality of the world
...

man is just a system of God
the image he breathes into
that since has been blessed
wiith a stake in the heavens
...

so many things my ears have missed
if only the Almighty has set them for
more vibrations of excitements such as
those of rattling earth plates pulling
...

my run away desire
the devil asks me
to go out, to have fun
and above all - eat
...

how nice it is to be a perfect pearl
rolling round someone's heart
listening to her secret wishes and
be a perfect companion of grace
...
