john tiong chunghoo Poems

Cathedral of the Pines
the faint prayer of a
devout mother
...

the catfish
all day long, whispering secrets
to the mud in the field
...

smoke denser
than house on fire
new year morning's temple
...

manukan island
cicada's drone denser
than foliage
...

scattering autumn dawn
sound of somebody
bathing
...

a cat - stripes yellowish back - walked past me
at the condominium some days ago
as i was waiting for my lift
he practically brought the house down
...

Napa Valley fall arbors
grapes shower
colours of wines
...

fort a famosa little jittery
just across the fence
a child's marble grave
...

heating up summer
Edinburgh International Festival and
Edinburgh Festival Fringe
...

my little river haiku
joins hudson and champlain's
400th anniversary celebration
...
