john tiong chunghoo Poems

the mom and dad
found a poison tree
did not realise
the land they are tilling
...

the street musician
a smitten heart tinkles
into his hat
...

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

Biden and Ryan
marlakey - this lie
fueld election
...

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

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

Chennai International Airport
greeting me at the airport too -
ganapathy
...

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

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