john tiong chunghoo Poems

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

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

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

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

missing the item for the day
guide and the tourist fight
over red fort
...

air sungei menyinar yinar
menyusul gunung dan rimba
impian seluas laut di kejar
cekap, sabar sampai ku tiba
(malay language)
...

KL Twin Towers mencakar langit minda
rakyat dan negara bersepadu
tegak, cerah, lurus, berwibawa
mencapai matlamat dengan laju
...

bagai embun menjelma di pagi
segarkan udara terus hilang
bagai kasih tersimpan di hati
sinar menerangi kertas berlubang
...

come taste this body too
has become full
of herbal goodness
...
