john tiong chunghoo Poems

Singapore Gallery
where we stand taller
than the island republic
...

when inspiration comes
the world falls into place
words strew themselves
into verses filling up
...

All that is Gold does not glitter
The sultriest of beauties carry thorns
The humblest little soft petalled jasmine
A feast for afternoon tea and sweet perfume
...

south pacific tsunami
how much you can pack
into a few seconds forever lost
land and buildings and waves of tears
...

leaves of grass
each blade turns my world
between this and the next
...

mount fuji photo session
she makes up her face as
the mountain hides its face
...

you look into space to look
into your own mind,
dark, boundless, mysterious
and so full of energy
...

'Pablo Neruda the haiku Poet:

that fire is repeated
nothing is extinguished
...

total solar eclipse
an aggrieved family pray for
some light on son's death
...
