"Dreaming" tanka

Sometimes I still dream
Of your sweet beloved face
Did I not tell you

I would love you forever
Or until the seas run dry

Quiet companions
Down here among the grave stones
Where primroses lie

"Mercy" tanka

Here I sit below
The Goddess and Dear Lao Tzu
Praying for mercy

That my old friend may be well
And remain with us a while

"Bosoms and Halter Tops" haiku

I love the summer

When bosoms and halter tops

Burst out everywhere

"I Wish I Were...."

I wish I was in Singapore

Now it’s winter here

I wish I was in Holland Village

Sitting in the Square.

 I wish I was in Haw Paw Villa

Seeing all those statues there

I love Tiger Balm gardens 

With sea breezes in my hair.

I wish I was in Old Penang

Those temples for to see

And pretty girls would bring me drinks

And make a fuss of me.

I wish I was in Santubong

Where the Palm Trees gently sway

And clouds form like smoke rings

Around the islands in the bay.

I wish I was in Jesselton

Before it changed it’s name

I’d climb the Sacred Mountain

Just to see that view again.

I wish I was back in Bau

Where the girls with dimples play

I’d go swimming in the Gold Mine

And eat market food all day.

I wish I was in Kuching

Eating in the Market Place

Where the girls are all so pretty

And there’s a smile on every face.

Yes I wish I was in Kuching

Eating Mee Hoon in the square

Chatting with all my old friends

Who I used to meet down there.

I wish I was in Sibu

Around regatta time

We’d eat and drink so hearty

With those old friends of mine.

I wish I was in Sarawak

To see in Chinese New Year

We’d eat and drink and party

With the old friends I hold so dear!
