2011 March Japan 8.9 Richter Earthquake Haiku Poem by john tiong chunghoo

8.9 richter quake
a tsunami of fear sweeps
over the pacific

this wave that comes
all the way from japan
quake of a thousand deaths

a love hate familiarity
the tsunami her country sends
to her in Hawai

8.9 richter quake
the rabbit jumps, tilting
a rattan basket

ohn is feeling terribly uneasy these days because he thinks something really serious is going to happen to earth. John has some psychic power which is enough to disturb the saner part of him. March 4 at 11: 10pm

sunset nostalgia
those empty days when my mind
was full of you

new spring kimono
trailing the fragrance
of the fresh blossom

spring
riding the nose
to me

a frightened octopus
legs at loggerheads
with each other
.
international women's day
wonder what ever is amiss
all around me female bosses

approaching spring
warmth between
child and mom
...
