My Haiku Collection Feb 2,2012 Poem by john tiong chunghoo

green apples
the child paint them
red, yellow and blue

tea house
next table's jasmine
takes the scent

a titanic dream
tore up by an iceberg
first Atlantic crossing

the forest floor crevice
a chilling quiet after
the catfish was taken

from the meditative quiet
of the forest floor crevice
the angler's struggling catfish

sticking out of the saucer
after the meal
catfish's whiskers

between me, the moon
and a boat on the beach
loneliness

that apple flower song
our heart blossoms with
the memory of a little girl

january arrival at the tropics
the japanese girl's
rosy apple cheeks

green apples
the boy paints them
red, yellow and blue
