Skinny Poem

I've just discovered the skinny poem after a group of poet friends introduced it to me.

I love how it uses so little words and leave plenty of room for imagination and multiple meanings.

Short. Stark. Sweet.

I decided to try one and sent it for publication.

The editor said Yes!

NaPoWriMo Day 22. The Art of Dying

Enjoy my Day 22's Poetry Sketch!

A drop of poetry by Angelina Bong
NaPoWriMo Day 22
The Art of Dying

Me, Myself and Wine

Listening to melancholy dripping into an empty glass

Eyes wide shut contemplating a song to the moon

On a starry Friday night, wishing so much a teardrop

will fall and wash it all away but sweetness beckons

None came… Only the spoonfuls splash splash of strawberry jam

smacked in between breads of love made with endless brooding

Aloneness can be so real yet surreal. Emptiness finds

its profoundness in treasures of jar set on mats of straw

Dipped into golden trays of joy, honey flee like carefree breeze

Wishful thinking of that one fateful day free from doodling

Hands are swinging with hips sashaying in hot pants down the aisle

Forgotten not by the sweet scent of moringas hailing from above

Fingers tap away to type but only reveries emerge, running out

of practicality and imagination decides to drop its bomb

Why the awful lot of wrong timings, the clock keeps ticking

but the task remains untouched as the screen flashes its light

The little mind wants to play even without company, the feet

 jingled to the rhythm of the fantasy , whispers of Cherie oh Cherie

 with dainty dots of whimsical tales outstretched like

one or two little jagged notes, No decisions dare say

Lost in a maze of crazy mystical chase with newfound dreams

Take me to places I have never been, away from the heat

The soul swings to endless blues and jazzy sails and I find that it’s just

Me, myself and wine

Twist with Kolo Mee

This is another artwork exhibited at Lov Gallery for the Lov Kuching exhibition. 

Again, food is my main inspiration for this painting! 

Definition of Kolo Mee (Hokkien to English)
Kolo means Dry
Mee means Noodle

Twist with Kolo Mee by Angelina Bong

Twist with Kolo Mee is an acrylic painting portraying the playful and laidback persona
 of Kuching indulging in its addictive Kolo Mee, the love of many Kuching people. 
Just like the other artwork, the background’s symbolic shades are derived from 
colours often used to depict Kuching and Sarawak, mainly from the hornbill and the 
Sarawak flag.

Festivals galore enchant the world in meek Kuching,

Travellers from afar fall in love or have a fling,

Still the heart of chaos and worries for both you and me,

Break free from the norm, laugh and dare twist like kolo mee

Dance with Laksa

This is one of the paintings that I have recently put up for an exhibition at Lov Gallery. The theme of the exhibition was Lov Kuching. What's more inspiring than food in Kuching? So, this one's dedicated for food lovers.

Dance with Laksa by Angelina Bong

This acrylic piece is inspired by one of Kuching’s most popular delicacies, the famous Sarawak Laksa and the love of festivals. Every year, festivals like the ‘Kuching Food Fest’ and the ‘Rainforest World Music Festival’ are celebrated in glory. Dance with Laksa incorporates the love of festivals expressed through a dancing girl into the enjoyment of this exotic dish.

Music and food unites the hearts of Kuching lovers,

No matter if you like breakfasts, lunches or dinners,

Whether you’re a fan of ballet, ngajat or salsa,

Be prepared to feast, dine and have a dance with laksa

BTW IT IS ALSO FOR SALE...
