john tiong chunghoo Poems

South Africa's great wines
these sour grapes over
others who can drink
...

sandwiched
between us -
salina
...

kamakura bronze buddha
in your eyes
the wheel of existence
...

between the have
and have nots
London fire
...

the butterflies dart through space
some in measured grace
some in zig zag frenzy
some carrying wings too small
...

heartless tsunami
how calm the sea lies today
please rush to me
raise your fury
...

A rare gem sparkling in the Tropics
Longing to be appraised; a people of the Golden
Chersonese, their lingo so rich you can find
Strong traces of the whole world here!
...

Last Supper
everybody's else
the 14th guest
...

first spring day
my heart dances
to each new bloom
...
