john tiong chunghoo Poems

palmist with magnifiying glass
let's hope he does not
magnify my life
...

Ulu Geroh's Brookewings
they descend from all angles
giving wings to my joy
...

at last it is cooked
and in perfect state
taste and smell
to be served to the Lord
...

chop chop chop
in less than two minutes
a buddha appears
...

she purrs; 'tea sir, please try
this tea. it is good for health,
japanese tea' so gentle, articulate
and musical to the ears, i thought
...

Our heart warms up
to the ice carvings
Bruges Snow and Ice Sculpture Festival
...

only the roar of waves
december Hua Hin's
fishermen pier
...

charming boys and girls
after they put away
the gods and deities
...

money spinners
now they long
for a monarch
...
