john tiong chunghoo Poems

i wish each of my haikus
to be a facet of the
diamond and a hundred haikus
its hundred facets clamouring
...

alas so many animals
have been butchered to extinction
now we are even bullying poor mother earth
chopping every generous hands it
...

Iguacu Falls
is there a better audience
for my song?
...

Birmingham International Dance Festival
the bellydance sweeps
us off our feet
...

the poets, their works
put them in a realm of bliss

awards herald them
...

another bed bug
oh my god where did you hide
when I spray?
...

yes, everybody is the Chosen One
the Jews to act out the difficult role
of God's educate-his- people exploits
abraham, solomon, david, joseph, moses
...

there is a father
there is a son
in the mind
the father
...

the mind -
it has to be laid with
keys and tones -
the solemnest bar for god
...

the mind works
like a bloom
when god comes
it spreads out
...
