john tiong chunghoo Poems

Gaya Street Sunday Market
the woman says her groundnut roots
help children grow
...

keep on deferring
her own dream
to help others
realise their dreams
...

my love,
my love for you
is like the land
beneath your feet
...

charles' golden memory
sandwiched between
a royal virgin and an old hag
...

anti japanese demo
perpetual pain
...

japan
here they feel more about their defeat
than think about their wrongs
...

pope election
christ, angels, apostles look from
the sistine's ceiling
...

new route
to her house
the frozen river
...

cool fall night
neighbour's half ripen persimmons
reflect my room light
...

old cannon
the woman prays
for a child
...
