Poetry Publishing Project





A Coffee Shop
Sitting in a shop,
I'm enjoying
drinking mocha.
Milk chocolate smell
drives away my stress
I feel warm and calm
after drinking it.
Seeing others drink
different beverages,
I want to try new ones.

A Common Thai Food
Green and fragrant smell
from basil leaves
Red and spicy taste
from chilies mixed
with ivory garlics,
meats, and other ingredients.
It becomes more tasty when
eaten with
a fried egg or an omelet,
and jasmine rice.
It's not famous
as Pad-Thai, but
it is well known
as Pad-Krapow.





It took me two days to write these poems and I made 16 copies of each of them. At first, I wanted to publish them on a weekend, but I had to do something else. Therefore, I published 'A Coffee Shop' at the area around the Blenz Coffee Shop after school with Claire's help. I published 'A Common Thai Food' in the downtown area on the other weekend with my brother's help. I felt anxious and awkward to ask strangers to read my poems; my english language is not good and  some of strangers seemed busy. However, after some of them told me that they like my poems, I got more confidence and tried to finish publishing them.

Sweet Like A Crow

Your hair looks like
a pile of rusting steel
like a bunch of grass on soil
like branches that grow from a tree
like fibers that were spit
from eating oranges,
like tapeworms in an intestine,
like a guitar's strings,
burning straws
a climber growing up
a wire hanging on a roof.
Like leaves tearing apart,
like a cobweb being woven by a spider
like a source of an evil,
a tuft of a poodle's fur, staples on a book
like moving legs of insects
like thorns from a flower's stem,
a huge ribbon, like a robe
being cut, like
falling pollen, the surplus
after eating spaghetti,
splinters from woods,
plumage from a crow,
like earthworms
that are living underground
like lines I drew on a paper
and I feel a strange object
touching my shoulder.

This Is Just To Say

I have seen
your hand-made album
that was in
the gift box

and which
you were probably
making
for me

Forgive me
they were impressive
so warm
and so tender

The Red Wheelbarrow

so much depends
upon

an iphone 5 with
a Snoopy case

cracked in some
parts

inside my big-
grey bag
