john tiong chunghoo Poems

Santo Domingo
a dark skinned columbus
grins
...

to be born is an arduous and painful process

it is taking up the world, learning what
...

the child eyes the
sprouted bean still
holding husk of seed
both eager to know
...

humankind is nature's
selected alter ego
two legs, two hands
and a privileged brain
...

cherry blossoms fall
our heart warms up
to spring
...

Black Hills water
the fishtoo out
on a leisurely ride
...

great grandmother
grandmother's mother
she walked through my life
like red roses, that dropp over one's path
...

London's Marylebone
we do a quiet reunion
in the heart of the city
...

for the periods
i like that of the
dinosaurs dearly
...

(poetry in progress)

the world starts out
with a consciousness
...
