Roy Lee Poems

In the Vienna Woods, I took a walk
A March dampness in the air
The trees were still Winter bare
Standing stoic as if in silent talk.
...

It has been harder to find you lately
Yet I seek you every day.
...

Sterile Singapore is a typical tourist trap
There's a concrete Merlion for a holiday snap
The city state is built as a giant shopping mall
But its a regiment that is often a bore.
...

What did you see?
Voyager looking back.
Did you see me?
A blue speck in a pack
...

Sunday at Serangoon Gardens I take my run
Quite early to avoid the hot midday sun.
Out of the condominium and onto the road,
Past the trucks with their garbage load.
...

The August moon
Was already high
When I awoke.
Outside the seafront
...

A mouse has moved in under my bed
A refugee rodent looking to be fed.
...

Looked at the blog from Ai Weiwei
Go elsewhere the censors say.

Twelve days past the first of May,
...

I stand on this bare rock
The land of milk and honey
Solid and soft
Gaia at my feet
...

I had a vague discomfort in my chest
So I was admitted for a cardiac test.
In the heart ward the machines go beep.
It was somewhat difficult to get some sleep.
...
