john tiong chunghoo Poems

sukhothai - over the
sprawling field
the buddha looks on
...

air sungei menyinar yinar
menyusul gunung dan rimba
impian seluas laut di kejar
cekap, sabar sampai ku tiba
(malay language)
...

Elvas and fortifications
a stirring void as I cycle
round the dehydrated ruins
...

KL Twin Towers mencakar langit minda
rakyat dan negara bersepadu
tegak, cerah, lurus, berwibawa
mencapai matlamat dengan laju
...

joint effort with Hadiah Hamzah

Sungai Sarawak penghubung masyarakat
sungai dikayuh menjamu kuih lapis
...

bagai embun menjelma di pagi
segarkan udara terus hilang
bagai kasih tersimpan di hati
sinar menerangi kertas berlubang
...

missing the item for the day
guide and the tourist fight
over red fort
...

Pashupatinath temple
at the bagmati river bank
a most contented - corpse
...

Sensing no hope
she laughs her way
through the drowning
...

what is an artist?
nature is light and the artist is but a smart prism
it may take years to grind it to a rainbow shine
...
