Loke Kok yee Poems

This great hunter was a slow learner
He decided to try again for a tiger
On an elephant sitting high
A running leap the tiger tried
...

The sun lingered with a last gaze towards the placid lake
Then quickly slide over the horizon to end his reign
Life hesitates in the twilight as light awhile opaque
Uncertain shadows played till night was no longer constrained
...

While others are blessed with winter
Here we are plagued with the haze
Your weather is part of natures wonder
But we have it made by forest razed
...

Qailertetang- - - - - - - - - - most benevolent of all
You make the storm rage- and tell the snow to fall

Just to let you know- - that climate change is here
...

The water flows sullenly by for the rain had long gone
Now muddy banks are exposed, baked hard where the sun had shone
Trees flourishing by the marge can no longer hide their roots
A branch cascading down overshadows a pair of coots
...

This great fisherman was fishing off the shore
Without a stitch on, not e'en a shoe he wore
Then a hungry fish came by
Took a big bite on the sly
...

These two fishermen were fishing out in a lake
Unaware of a seaplane churning up a wake
They were right on the path
Soon they would have a bath
...
