London By Day

There was a lass in Chinatown
Who sold her shadow for a crown
The buyer said,
"We must be wed!
Its pouring rain and you could drown!"

Premium Member A Lovable Ball of Fur

What a pretty little tabby, a cute ball of fur. I love it whenever you meow and purr. As my pet, you are a lovable funny clown. If you want to remain alive, don’t wander into Chinatown.

Change fills the air,
Here as we stroll;
Imprints and fares,
Noisy trades poll;
Ancient affairs,
Tales of China;
Old alleys bare,
Wild agendas;
Note the bazaars,
Treats on the streets;
A kindred star,
Lanes that now greet;
Explore quaint food,
Sense ample good.

Premium Member Purple Meltdown

Purple wig on purple clown
Laughing while he's counting down 

Princess in her gala gown
Through the streets of Chinatown

On her worried face a frown
She's looking for her misplaced crown

While clowns can't do much about her meltdown
He'll at least help to get her home by sundown

Premium Member Auspicious

See the Chinatown roads:
Prosperous golden goats,
Rich festive decor loads,
In sky arches like boats,
Note how spring animates,
Gather this ample sea.
Feast on the ultimate,
Explore spring charms with me;
Sea of human faces,
Thrill of ceremony;
Ideas of spring graces,
Voice and fireworks set free;
Auspicious customs prompt,
Lunar New Year informs.

Ode To a Vietnamese Doughnut

she says she is tired
she says
...things are not going so
well
she says
she can't hang her paintings
cause
the space isn't
right
she says
...things are not
going
not going so
well
i light a single stick
cheap
chinatown
incense
it worked in the 15 by 15 foot
buddhist temple
red
by the 
freeway
for my
son
snuggling on my chest
my room is 15 by 15 foot
i
wonder if
it will work
as
well
