Merlion City

Sights you will see, sights you will like;
Images voice, images flow;
New blooms set free, new mood swing strikes;
Grace charms sure poise, grace fills clear glow;
Appeal can hint, appeal can blend;
Pleasant red-dot, pleasant hot-spot;
Outline bright tints, outline grand trends;
Reap fragrant lots, reap happy thoughts;
Embrace our mint, embrace our friends.


Meet cultures here, meet flavours grand;
Explore freely, explore deeply;
Rich voice sincere, rich feel transcends;
Look for beauty, look for plenty;
Indulge our sphere, indulge our trends;
Observe and see, observe and be;
New delights cheer, new treasures brand.


Come to our shores, come to our spot;
Indulge your quest, indulge your best;
Taste subtle more, taste sublime plots;
Yield to fond zest, yield to fine fest.


My space is here, my time is now;
Yes poise endears, yes choice endows.


Heed feel and urge, heed form and fact;
One wholesome lot, one vibrant patch;
Mindset grooms surge, mindset prompts tact;
Empower thought, empower match.

Fascinating poem Leon . Read it three times it is so enjoyable. I lived in Singapore for 18 months, Ending when I was 7 years old , My father had business out there , We then moved to Penang for two years. My memories of the place have faded now . I can't even remember the home where we lived but I remember the people , Beautiful.

Dear Darren: Glad you enjoyed this writing. Your reading pleasure is a delight to me. Thanks. Singapore has changed a lot in the past 10 years. There is also a night life in a place once labelled by critics as being somewhat sterile! Most of all, I like the peace. Come by soon. Leon
