Visit Malaysia Year Haiku - Sungei Merah In Sibu (Stateof Sarawak) Poem by john tiong chunghoo

sungei merah
auspicious colour
to start a life anew

sungei merah
now which way
to turn

sungei merah
struggles to flow
with the times

sungei merah
still red and auspicious
the water

sungei merah
a lengthy inspiration of poise
confidence thick as blood

sungei merah
gentle, subtle
unprententious

after the rain
sungei merah
swift as the town's progress

sungei merah
disciplinarian
red

sungei merah
wong nai siong still
keeps guard

sungei merah
after the rain
a feast of joy

sungei merah
sweeps through old
and new sibu
