Philo Yan Poems

When we take things
in the world in our stride,
We will earn a stripe.
When we take the test
...

There once lived an old man in a log
The log was cosy, from rain and the fog.
From day to day he goes for a jog
At the playground and around,
...

A Rose by any other name,
Would just sound so tame.
Such beauty is the Rose,
Even with thorns, it shows.
...

I may be prickly
I may be sharp
I may be round
I may be a danger
...

This angry little bird
first flew to the South.
He didn't like the heat,
He didn't like the South.
...

I found a shadow carpet
A carpet that can fly
It isn't made of any thread
or any color dye
...

Remember when you can run
and skip, and hop in the rain.
You'll run as fast as the wind
no aches, no jabbing pain.
...

Flu season came knocking at our door
Having the flu what "gifts" you want more?
Fever, cough, sniffles, infamously fame
Though if you compare, aren't they tame?
...

Wrapped in bubbles of her own design
Double wrapped in a mental wall
Every layer a soft incline
Blocks abuse and cushions her fall
...

Words can hurt, Words can heal
Words can even make you feel
Words can shape, Words can sway
Words can even make an appeal
...
