Some Senryu Poems

By John Tiong Chunghoo

_____________________

 

1.                 

packed subway train
the cinderella of her blouse
kisses the donald duck of my shirt

2.

the fugitive -
behind the daily
splashed with his picture

3.

peeing
into the sea
peeing at himself

John says: “I have been writing poetry for many years. I specialize in haiku, tanka and free verse poetry. I take world freedom to mean that I too can work towards becoming a poet laureate.”
