john tiong chunghoo Poems

the Queen's diamond jubilee
a bouquet of sunflowers -
the royal faces
...

i choose the mountain
because it is there
it drums up my spirit
i choose the sea
...

again the bush warbler
perhaps another stroke
of good luck coming
...

new school year
fresh faces everywhere
the same old bell chimes
...

no way to live in the water
dont worry nature will make room for it
gills, fins, swim bladder, sacs
that help you float and go into the waters
...

the shadow follows my body
the body follows me
the tangible and intangible
that make up this world
...

andaman sea
the emerald expanse of the sea beckons
the thick rainforest breathes mystery
the weight of five hundred million years
...

happy independence day to all
my american friends

fourth of july
...

riotious jungle growth
equally bountiful in energy
a tiger
...
