john tiong chunghoo Poems

but I think the city is under our feet
the sounds of dream and determination
charge every inch of the streets,
the well polished shoes that shine
...

mickey mouse
run, run, run
the joyful feet
of my childhood
...

world poetry day
shakespear, du fu, basho
sadly missing
...

men are many times
worse than animals
sometimes even in mentality
...

'my pot of love for you, here it is, '
mom tells daughter, 'thick and savoury
as the suntan, reddish hot as chillies,
appetising as turmeric, jintan,
...

do you want a lady?
do you want a lady? ?
do you want a lady? ? ?
do you want a boy! ! ! ! !
...

Lake Powell Cruise
between the narrow canyons
my heart leaps
...

The maiden of Malaya
is full of romance
Her hair curls and flows
the way The Melaka Straits
...

creature of wisdom
the turtle in the little aquarium
sits on a stone the whole day
teaches me to meditate
...

a kite rises
twelve young eyes
too
...
