john tiong chunghoo Poems

Brixton Southwest London
one souvenir seller speaks
no english
...

arizona phoenix
we will fly like a phoenix
in all the adventures
...

proboscis monkey
a golden lump of quiet wisdom
on the tropical tree
...

life is a running reel
of fun
run run shaw
...

it blossoms away like a flower
and us opening a new book
petal after petal, line by line
we live through them
...

A book full of pictures
my hands grows cold touching faces
of dead kings and queens
...

storm in an
old tea cup
the pope's resignation
...

the warm friendly
secondary school boy is still
there in the body

art never corrupts
...

sigiriya
a rock willed
runaway prince
...

kecil suka pakai kasut bapa
tapi kaki tak muat kasut besar
kini bapa dah tiada
berdikari sentiasa ku belajar
...
