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,...

Cryptic contours charade,
Rousing riverfront raid;
Young yonder years yielding,
Prosperous peace prancing;
Taunting tale telling trite,
Icon imprints invite,
Clever casting charm cites...


Minds merge mingling motives,
Embalm emergent edge;
Rising riches restive,
Lofty lion-maned ledge;
Instruct inbound inklings,
Outline obvious oozing,
Niche nice new nurturing...


Fancy fish-tail flings flair,
Age aligns apt affairs;
Sense survival seeking,
Hope's hasty hurts hurling;
Intent...

Use of timely ideas and productive strides,
Yield to our people fond smiles and...

A FOND TRIBUTE:
(TO OUR OLD-GUARD LEADER)


Visionary leader who forged our way
In your twilight years kind humour attends
A little red-dot that works sanguine play


Once upon a time history did stray
A city state found dire straits in harsh trends
Visionary leader who forged our way


A man's decisive stance...

Move with the times as change abounds;
Explore each choice to fill and trace;
Remember chimes that swirl around;
Loiter sure poise beyond mere space;
Indulge your quest with profound thought;
Open your eyes and clearly see;
Nudge awkward jest that troubles plot.
Chance upon highs that come to be;
Invest in things...

MARINA BAY WALKABOUT


Saturday night tour walkabout:
You and I stroll briskly along
To check the lights with the big crowd
With carefree souls pushing sing-song!

By transit train, we found our way
To breeze on-site to see the lights;
But Earth Hour strain brought lights-out stray, 
Humid airs strike a deep...

OUR CONVERSATION: 
DEAR SINGAPORE


Change follows heart and we must face harsh facts
Our conversation exposes real pains
We the people must forge our fate with tact


Understand the scenario to dare act
Look deeper still to work on ideas plain
Change follows heart and we must face harsh facts


Focus common...

ODE TO THE RAIN


A rare happening here, this dreary drought:
The dry earth chokes and trees are fast fading,
Reservoir water stock is drying out.


The dry weather is truly worrying,
We bear the foul odours of wind-blown haze,
Health concerns with ash now escalating.


We feel the choking air in...

ODE TO ZEST


Sparkle and sprinkle clear strains of playful zest,
Feed laughter with humour and wit that drizzles:
Now jest and fest put wholesome goodness to test.


Each moment is time allotted to puzzle,
Know then your pathway journey to happy trends:
Charm, poise and voice ferment in passion's nimble.

DAWN LIGHT

Dawn light sparkles with crimson rays,
My eyes marvel at brand new day;
Look to the East where all things start,
Confront new feast with cheery heart.


Dawn light sets free new pulse and zest,
My soul finds me on a bold quest;
Look deeper still to find my way,
Seek...
