john tiong chunghoo Poems

the insects too
are trying to be higher
101 Tower
...

suddenly even the air
breathes ghost
the house we stay
...

sometimes when you
look into Obama's face
you get the vibe that
he will be the President
...

putting us solidly
on top of the sky
the Singapore Flyer
...

singapore night safari
we go looking for lion
in the middle of city
...

tsunami anniversary
i try to seek peace
in the calm waves
...

a sea of comparisons for the poet
well, if i were to describe his role
he is a clam
and the pearl is the heart of his art!
...

a single's sunday
bachelor's sunday
lonely as the winter sun
a hazy disc that tries to break
...

Sistine Chapel
Michelangelo's genius
hovers over our heads
...

The maiden of Malaya is full of romance
Her hair curls and flows the way the Straits of
Malacca meets the Andaman, stretches of love that
sweep onto The Golden Chersonese
...
