An autumn leafAn autumn leaf
Twirling down with a golden sigh,
An autumn leaf—
Drifting slow through the amber sky,
Whispers of summer's last goodbye,
Crimson flame in a breath gone by—
An autumn leaf....

Twirling last

Prettier, livelier

Once upon a time no fairy taleFrom the start,
you have made assumptions.
I had something
or I was someone.
It was all
in your wild imaginations,
I did not
plan it to happen.
I meant no
harm, was really innocent.
I did not
lie, pretend or act,
To deceive, hurt
or harm you deliberately.
Just that I
did not know you,
Not well at
all to correct you,
To...

Grandstanding
with dusk approaching
the radiance of the day
melts in the rain
streetlights smear
the autumn colours
across the footpaths
doubling the display
of chromatic foliage
autumn gloats

the chill of a lazy rainy sunday
a good book by the fireplace
surely this is food for the soul

AUTUMNI can still see a picture long gone,
waves of the ocean welcome and greets every edge of it.
The shedding leaves,
Then a thunder,
Reminds me of that picture with many cracks.
But just like autumn,
would the picture be also flowering in the near future?
Its shadow lingers around my thoughts, every glimpse of it reminds me of a new...

Saturday With Frank O'Hara
Mid Autumn, Saturday 6.30am
and daybreak is slowly climbing
over the back fence.
Frank O'Hara's poetry is still
echoing in my head from reading
it last night as I cook breakfast
of bacon and eggs.
Later I walk up the street
to the chemist to get
my blood pressure pills
and as I walk, compile arguments
against Postmodernism
and recognise that the notion...

my senryu poetry must suck
silent words cascade
unseen, unheard, fade away—
lonely ink weeps dreams
words fall like dead leaves
no hand stirs to hold their weight—
autumn of the soul
untouched art cries out
silent beauty lost to void—
a poet unseen

F for final farewell and finish2025.4.14.
I have started writing diary since May last year.
Eventually, my diary's style, transformed to poem like.
After five months of losing friendship with BB,
By the end of the year,
I rested a bit. I was emotional exhausted.
I started posting my poem in mid January this year,
When JC introduced me to the poetry world.
Every thing went well so...

ScarIf I were that scar above your rose tinted lips,
of whom you keep picking and removing dead cellular dust,
out of hatred that rises from your porous subcutaneous layer
of insecurity,
I probably would have bled more than you think.
I couldn't have shed tears, possibly.
But I've heard every little wound needs love to heal,
And so will I-
your dearest...

Autumn Scene
Climbing cotton clouds float away
across canvas of summer sky.
Birds bathe in blue bay,
to amber nest they fly.
Autumn comes with golden spray.
Sunburst horizon’s chromatic drape drawn,
splits sunbeam in spectral splendor.
Sky spills colors of dawn,
air sways cinnamon grass slender
in malachite meadow, turning fawn.
The crown of topaz dew
shines with...
