NHIEN NGUYEN MD Poems

Thanks Julie and John
Love and gift for Father's Day
Thousands miles away.
...

I have two neighbors
One on right, the other left
My yard, their trees fell.
...

Grandson cries out loud:
'Don't want to get old, he shouts
Old means losing teeth'
...

Early Sunday morn
I enjoy walk in back lawn
Suddenly dog barks.
...

A young woman jogs along a country road
Her horse-tail long hair flaps around in morning air.
It's still very early in the morning
Morning sun is asleep and dew fall covers green grass.
...

Tattered water-soaked bamboo trees crowd a river bank
By the up-stream of a boat pier, banana trees stand exhausted under heavy rain.
Drenched by rain water, the river flows at an increased speed
A deserted moored boat is left behind in loneliness at the pier.
...

For a long while I did not write any cat poem
On this Saturday morning, I watch falling rain with my cats.
Holding my hot cup of coffee in my hands
I sip my coffee slowly while day rain falls fast.
...

Dangerous road rage!
A man forced me off main road
With his driving van.
...

Air temperature is a little bit chilly under light amber sunshine
Waves of green rice fields spread to horizon clouds
Several swallows dart across the sky in mid-air
Flocks of herons flaunt around with their stops and flights.
...

The first time when I sealed her lips for a kiss
Small cicadas sang their startled loud pitch
Green garden, emerald grass, amber noon
Thousand Poinciana trees flamboyantly bloomed
...
