To Touch or Not To Touch
A short poem reflecting on my feeling during COVID-19 pandemic.
Hug me softly, touch me gently
I never thought I missed a stranger coming by me closely
Virus deadly, seems so scary
I never thought I would wash my hands in a state of mental agony
News report constantly, spreading endless negativity
Why are we even talking about wars between countries?
Sickness treats us equally, humans are fresh and bone only
This is the time to unite as one and look pass our cultural formality
Are you treating this seriously? Are your actions ready?
Love is the definition of humanity.
I will obey gladly, because I believe in us dearly.
Freedom will be redefine with unity.
Breath the fresh air in deeply. Smell the flower joyfully.
Let’s enjoy our new world with open heart and soul finally.

The Birth of a Dog Trainer
From Hong Kong to Brazil Growing up in the metropolis of Hong Kong, the city's urban setup always made me long for greenery and raw nature. I guess I am kind of a wild child. I always have a thing for scary animals. Ever since I could run, I would dash to pet a snake. I would smile when I see a big crocodile. I would be excited to watch animal documentaries. And dogs, especially the angry ones, the gnarly ones, drew me in. They somehow pump my adrenaline that I cannot put in words. The best attempt for me to describe that feeling will be..."I want to calm the storm in their unsettling seas". And really that has been the main driving force in everything I do.

The Bird Nest
Downy tufts puff out, Warmth inside a house of hair, Drowsiness abounds. A/N: I sometimes imagine what it would be like to sleep in a bird nest, provided I can be bird-sized in the fantasy of course. I think it would be cosy! More longer stories to come! -TWW
