Jeong Jung Poems

I am a child,
a little black boy,
Facing the world of inequality,
If only I had skin like snow
...

I’ll tell you of a story,
Of something quite so strange,
Which started with a soup can,
From the Asda® organic range,
...

Jade is the zest of a lime
Jade is the stem of a tree
Jade is the smell of the lawn
Jade is the salt in the sea
...

Take out a penny and clasp it in your hand,
Scan the jars of humbugs and strawberry lace strands,
Lick your lips in satisfaction and yearn for sweet taste
Different sweets, some hard and some as smooth as paste,
...

A puzzle can get lost sometimes
And its job as you can tell
Is to complete a picture of some kind
Perhaps of a fairy tale
...

French and spanish seem the same to me
Latin, German I do not seem to see
Verbs and participles are something quite very queer
and Dutch in particular, not a word to I hear.
...

If I were to live this day,
as if it were my last,
I'd not think of what was to come,
But look back upon the past,
...

If you did spot a star tonight,
I ask what would you do?
Would you sit and wish upon it.
and hope it would come true?
...

There is no 'must' in opinions
There is no right nor wrong
Whether white is black
Or black is blue
...

Tick tock listen to the clock
that counts the seconds which go by.
With each second which passes
a life is born,
...
