Haiku And Tanka Poem by john tiong chunghoo
Haiku And Tanka
shamanism -
bribing the gods
to talk to us
seek a place of
worship if you wish
to see sincere expressions
on people's faces -
in front of gods, lies fly
maple garden; the leaves
twirl, to and fro,
like our first waltz,
their red that of your hair
i step into their dance, alone
autumn calmness -
this emptiness after
the unrequited love
the bare branch with
the lovely leaves all gone
