john tiong chunghoo Poems

nature prefers
to speak in
sign language
...

every word was once
a being/an angel on a mission.
They come together
like friends to help us
...

at one time we thought
everything revolves
around earth
...

Life and death
The day and night
Of existence
In life... you dance

words are friends

where to place them
in between each other
...

to their years, a spring
of exploding gardens, riveting
bird songs that serenade
...

wakes the three year old
rosy cheeked chubby child
with its ding dong song
...

the sea is a roaring orchestra
its waves a marching band
trudging towards a smart land
...

May in Memphis
the music steals our heart
the food our stomach
...
