A Haiku For Each Country Project - Myanmar Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Shwedagon Pagoda
the buddha's blessings
light up the sky

Shwedagon Pagoda
the buddha's blessings
glitter in the sky

Shwedagon Pagoda
a walk through the golden
path of the dharma

Shwedagon Pagoda
eight buddha's hair pull in
the crowd

Shwedagon Pagoda
gold and jewels don
the beams

Shwedagon Pagoda
our mind joins the sparkles
at the monument

Shwedagon Pagoda
the magic sparkles in
the sky, water and the Buddha

myanmar blessings?
young monks, old monks
crowd the streets

after the tourist zone fee
soldiers peddle us
the Burmese Days
