john tiong chunghoo Poems

dusk
lingering me
and my shadow
...

gun law - sandy hook
wakes us up
to its horror
...

sukhothai - over the
sprawling field
the buddha looks on
...

Sri Lanka escapade
the folk music takes me
back home
...

annual rose parade
the child is painted and
dressed up as a rose
...

the festival of the Pine
the tree falls
the other way
...

Christ church Cathedral Strawberry Festival
the Cathedral is red
on the cake
...

Elvas and fortifications
a stirring void as I cycle
round the dehydrated ruins
...

to her new home
a sparrow flying -
with a straw
...
