Poems

 

Light and Dark
We are next door neighbors
I’ve only seen you once

Your blinds are always closed,
but mine are wide open,
I see your wilting plant cry,
Hoping to see her owner’s face again
When will you come back?

Stereotypes
Yes, I am Asian,
Yes, I am quiet,
Yes, I am shy.
But no, I don’t eat rice everyday,
No, I can’t use chopsticks,
No, I’m not identical to other Asians.

Because each of us are different,
And no,
I’m not ashamed of being Asian,
I’m proud

Miss you, HVC
Summer time is very near
But spring just began

Rumi Style Poem
Look at yourself,
Your cry starts to fill the room with happiness
Your mother laughing with joy to see your newborn face
Your life has just began
But someday, you will leave this world
And that someday is not coming in awhile
