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
...

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
...

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

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

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

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

Pashupatinath temple
at the bagmati river bank
a most contented - corpse
...

Sensing no hope
she laughs her way
through the drowning
...
