Owen Yang Poems

There once was a very hungry shark
Who blew off the size record mark.
From eating so much fish
For his main and side dish,
...

Owen
Persevering, funny, thoughtful, amiable
Son of Tsung-Han and Li-Yun
Lover of family, music, and math
...

Yellow is the color of bees busily making honey.
Yellow is a sand dune shifting with the wind.
Yellow feels joyful and radiant, like someone has cast a light upon the truth.
Yellow sounds quietly cheerful.
...

The zoo that night sparkled and shined.
There was an explosion of light!
The workers appeared, the scene complete.
From the cages a great fire-breathing dragon tumbled out.
...

Moon
Small, rocky
Glowing, waning, looming
Cold, unforgiving, comforting, warm
...

The innocent patient and
The bustling hospital meet,
Little does he know about the red tape.
...

I see my UChicago diploma on the wall as I get dressed.
I watch my kids have fun playing with each other.
I admire my parents for lavishing gifts on me, using their time and money.
I thank my friend and co-worker for helping me get a job at his company.
...

I say quality, not quantity
How I grieve!
The people post poems
Left and right
...

If you can post of quality
And not of quantity
If you can not fall into the vice
While still trying to warn others away
...
