Tony Phung Poems

Once there was a man named Patrick Shoat, who possessed the libido of a teenage goat
He would sleep with a different woman everyday, but he soon found out there was gonna be hell to pay
Patrick had a wife named Emily, who was pretty as can be
But for all her beauty she could not secure his fidelity.
...

The sun sets for the chosen one
Born from flesh and blood
Darkness comes, light undone
Cold in the dirt and mud
...

My Awesome Coat
I hide in its sable embrace
Its soft cloth covers my face
It billows gently and with grace
...

I went to sleep last night and had a dream
Of a world unfouled, pure, and clean
Where every man, woman, and child was free
And never there was a need to be
...

The weather is gray and has me in dismay
My good mood has decayed
Can't go outside and play
All I can say is that I feel like a bald man without a toupee
...

I knew a maiden as fair as the night sky
With the brilliance of stars trapped in her eyes
She was fairer than the bright flowers of May
And she would outshine the sun, each and every day
...

Feel them breathing down your neck
Hear the footfalls right and left.
Run for your life with all your might
If you don't, {You} won't survive the night.
...

Harken fellow brothers and listen to me tell
Of bravery and courage and evil as well
It is the tale of Ynot the Minstrel
Whose gift of word came from the gods
...

As I sit by desk at night, waiting for the day's respite from my internal hell.
I feel my bosom swell, not with elation, but frustration for no longer I feel well.
The fires within not burning, have stopped their yearning for life.
Where emotions were churning, I am learning, are replaced with strife.
...

Sitting in math class bored to death
Look at the clock and exhale my breath
A minute has passed and I see
Time is making a mockery of me
...
