Local Zephyrs

June conspires
Sun and rain and wind;
Equatorial somnolence


Ways and means
Cluster of conflicts;
Confront life's business


Down winding roads
Cityscapes retreat;
Highrise dwellings clutter


Bus ride to nowhere
New estates emerge;
Road map carbon copy


News flash and highlights
Routine monotony presides;
Celebrate gratitude then


Order in sure fashion
Odd ball roller coaster;
Jolly simplicity


Next year's birthday thoughts:
Celebrate 50 years --
City-state nation


Forged from uncertainty
Precarious transit pains;
Here we are now


Ageing population
New age crisis;
Opportune reminders


The years have been kind
To one and all here;
Confront crises head-on


No need for complaints
There is only one way;
Move forward always


Attitude counts
Work on your gripes;
Excellence takes effort


All in due time
Evidence speaks sharp;
Discern lessons well


Talk feels empty
Do it with aplomb;
Results surmount obstacles


We start, we end --
Let gratitude mindset
Frame sure attitude


Despite constraints
We get along;
Common courtesy works


There is no other place
Beyond our fringes;
Here ample lots farm


A cityscape where
We co-mingle, interact;
Live a common agenda


Home is where
Heart lives sure spark;
Touch weaves new songs
