john tiong chunghoo Poems

what does a poet gain
but the soothing nerves
as one traverses the mental
landscape of those who have
...

three day old rafflesia
worn out like us after
the strenuous ascent
...

the rear girl
well, well all her reasons
for lateness again
...

princess diana's smile
a fragment of royal blues
rips through the page
...

orchids
so many ways to express
beauty
...

San Juan
gently, patiently eating up the wall
the breeze
...

Gifford Pinchot National Forest
so passionately played out
the american psyche
...

my poem - their roots
are my veins that pulsate
with every beat of my heart
...

the rush to
purification
pollution
...
