Taiwan Poems


Premium MemberMorning Comes to Huatung Valley

Mist feathery drifts
last night’s breath loosening
above basalt slopes of Huatung

Pacific swallows trace morning brushwork
over Fuli’s rice paddies
new green scented with rain.

Xiuguluan River flows jade mountain-born 
among ancestral stones
white willows in Ruisui weep
dew-kissed
cycad fronds catching first sunlight

Leaf pearls gather on my thatched sandals
Walami earth holds stories in its coolness.

Bihe Pond rests hidden in Wanrong’s stillness
waters reflecting

Taiwan, My Brother

In the flowing scroll of time, said Confucius, blood remembers where it came from. The mountain does not forget the stone, nor does the sea deny its river. You, Taiwan—jade carved from the same dragon—why drift like a petal in foreign wind?

Does not the moon rise over both your skies? Do not ancestors whisper from

Lyrical Journey of a Lover through Taiwan-I

If you are the vast, ever-changing ocean,
I will be the sturdy mountain, holding you close, 
Embracing your gentle morning waves with care,
And welcome your crashing tidal surges in the evening without fear.

If you are the radiant sun that brightens each day,
I will be the mighty Hehuanshan peak, basking in your brilliant rays,
Creating a vast space

Lyrical Journey of a Lover through Taiwan-II

When you spread your arms wide with a smile so bright, 
No words are needed, our souls are in flight. 
Let's watch as the birds soar over Green Island's charm, 
Flying carefree through nature's loving arms. 
Who knows, we may even catch sight from afar, 
Of the brave souls who found refuge there, like a

Jinping Pong

China claims that the Taiwan Strait
Does not divorce it from its mate
But China's been busted
It can not be trusted
Since it reneged on Hong Kong's fate!

Premium MemberVacation In Taiwan

My most favorite vacation ever was in Taiwan,
That was in October 2019, not in year 1991.
I’d humorous experience with my four friends,
On arrival day and travelling by bus and train.

The moment we arrived at the City of Taipei,
We searched for our inn, booked without agency.
Using apple apps or phone search-up alone,
Put us at whole-day maze

Fried Turtles

Fried Turtles
The little dog chews on the blue wire
His sharp teeth need blunting
So he picked this bomb wire to gnaw
He likes biting and such like
One of his main interests
His master’s fingers and boots
Car tires on parked cars
And his Holy toys
The gold cross from the church
That’s totally f*cked
Just like the blue wire he has
Look it’s now

Rise O Empire of Tibet

O’Great Nation of the Himalayas,
Claim your rightful place on the earth,
Prove to none, except yourself, what your worth,
Hurdle the Dragon, that Serpent into the dearth,

Stand affirm, fortress strong,
War with Dragon, no matter how long,
Do not dwindle, I firmly say,
This I decree to you all the way,

Women thou brave, whom wombs brought forth,
Men and lion, into

Rise O Taiwan

Rise this True Republic, be not afraid,
Strengthen your Loins, arm yourselves and prepare to Invade,
That Marxist-Maoist Dragon! And its Satellite states,
Whom loves death and life hates!

From this Poet you have my grace,
To march for your family and high shall hold your face,
This Bully, China must pay for the war,
They know no disgrace,

Diplomacy will fail and

On the Other Side of a Twenty-Seven Mile Wide Mountain Range

on the other side of a twenty-seven mile wide mountain range
is a place to go where no cars and cycles buzz behind me
where the dusk heated sun does not touch my back
and polluted air does not burn my eyes
where  the Pacific Ocean whooshes in my ears…
i can get there by dawn and sit on

Taiwan

Originating from a tropical country
My family and I decided to go to Taiwan
We were on an airbus, big and long
Sitting with each other and playing
We set off heading to the east
My, was it a long journey of 4 hours.

Yes, touch down
We reached the heart of Asia
Overjoyed by new sights and the variety
Of languages and citizens

Six Taiwan Haikus

sleek shiny pussy 
my night-loving feline friend
will you always purr

dogs rolling the shade
ghost sacrifice dances the haze
we sail for China
           iii
dog taunting traffic
ball sack flapping in the wind
China awaits dawn
