Bird vs Wind
The bird strives to catch
The swirl, but it is so strong
It catches the bird instead
Super Sight: for Helena Qi Hong
Your inner being is so full of sunlight
Every flower that catches sight of you
Begins to bloom against the season
Just as each face that turns towards you
Bursts into a smile when you pass by
East vs West: a Mega Cultural Poem
During the great flood
Noah hid himself in the ark
While Dayu tried to contain it
With his bare hands
Prometheus stole fire
From Olympian gods
While Sui Ren got it
By drilling wood hard
Smart Daedalus crafted wings
To fly away from his prison-tower
While Old Fool removed the whole
Mountain blocking his way
Helios enjoyed driving his chariot
All along in the sky
While Kuafu chased the sun
To take it down & tame it
Sisyphus rolls the boulder uphill
Because of his deceitfulness,
while Wu Gang cuts the laurel as a punishment
For distractions in learning
