Wander

National Anthem
Familiar motherland music;
Stop to ponder SG50**

~~~~~~~~~


Hidden agenda
Crafty demeanour;
Unspoken moves

~~~~~~~~~


Confrontational
Words unnecessary;
Choice in no voice

~~~~~~~~~


Two sparrows chat
On air-con ledge;
Morning sunrise

~~~~~~~~~


Plumeria flowers
Sparkling colours;
Morning salutation

~~~~~~~~~


Spring cleaning days
Christmas is coming;
So little time

~~~~~~~~~


Torrential rains
Day after day soaking;
November redecorates

~~~~~~~~~


Here we are my dear
Forty-three years strolling;
Seems like yesterday

~~~~~~~~~


Mood and movement
Sun dancing up high;
Busy schedule

~~~~~~~~~


Yes we make plans
Do this and that;
Time intervenes

~~~~~~~~~


Cold winds blow dry
Dehydrates skin;
Chill in the spine

~~~~~~~~~


Happy sea of faces
Children frolic here;
Playtime at the park

~~~~~~~~~


Solitary old Kung-fu master
Resting on stone bench;
Smiles at people

~~~~~~~~~


Old lady with bags
Supermarket haul;
Weak knees hazarding

~~~~~~~~~


Meal pack takeaway
I venture homewards;
Lunch with darling

~~~~~~~~~


Joy styles peace
Fashion new venture;
Awareness comes

~~~~~~~~~
