No place on earth is quite as charming and romantic!
A shangri-la where beaches are pink and everyone...

February dusk descends
Upon Orchard Road;
My walking attends
As feet bear clear loads.


Bright and breezy moods
In crowded walkways;
Casual tour feels good
As curious sights sway.


A sea of faces

Where's the bus?

Crowds swarming the trains;

Human nature stakes,
Umpteen whys and hows.

Arc of rising moon
Distant silhouettes;
Evening settles down

So often it happens
Notice the same broadcast;
Self-talk feeds amusement

HAIKU STRAINS 4


Modern shoppes
Bayfront attractions;
Window shopping spree

~~~~~~~~~


Midnight nocturne
Window view moments;
Bedtime distraction

~~~~~~~~~


Music seeps
Through front door;
Passing minstrel vagabond

Easy escapade
Scented lemongrass;
Spa massage

~~~~~~~~~


Fond company
Old lovers sit quietly;
Calm charms crisp

hoping to be aroused by some

Friends congregate
Party mood trickles;
Familiar laughter drowns


Once upon
A dream come true;
Foreign expectations


Invest shoppe
Moments meander;
Burst of high tide


Moaning and groaning
Kettle steam retorts;
Morning brew transits


So many words
Unsaid, unheard;
Uneasy...

The Generals

You have seen them
nodding benevolently like
plump German butchers in small
shoppes, carelessly stripping pink
flesh from the bones of sheep.

They smile, a polite bow,
courteous generals in...

Early morning awakening:
So many things, so much packing.


Sip morning tea with some odd snacks,
We feel hungry just as we pack.


We make ready for our leaving,
Check-out...

Through the corridors of time and space that steer

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!
