john tiong chunghoo Poems

putting us solidly
on top of the sky
the Singapore Flyer
...

obama's nomination
well, the joy is more
that in America the
canvas of success
...

singapore night safari
we go looking for lion
in the middle of city
...

sometimes when you
look into Obama's face
you get the vibe that
he will be the President
...

tsunami anniversary
i try to seek peace
in the calm waves
...

a single's sunday
bachelor's sunday
lonely as the winter sun
a hazy disc that tries to break
...

Sistine Chapel
Michelangelo's genius
hovers over our heads
...

a sea of comparisons for the poet
well, if i were to describe his role
he is a clam
and the pearl is the heart of his art!
...

The maiden of Malaya is full of romance
Her hair curls and flows the way the Straits of
Malacca meets the Andaman, stretches of love that
sweep onto The Golden Chersonese
...

haiku
a moment
to treasure
