Arc of rising moon
Distant silhouettes;
Evening settles down
~~~~~~~~~
So often it happens
Notice the same broadcast;
Self-talk feeds amusement
~~~~~~~~~
Evening hurries briskly
TV sitcom serenades;
Eyes glued to instant charm
~~~~~~~~~
Meal time harvest here
Pay-per-dish varieties;
Don't know what to eat
~~~~~~~~~
Broadwalk street cafe
Menu temptations ooze;
Set meal or a la carte
~~~~~~~~~
Listen for a voice
Soft as gentle breathing;
Gone before you notice
~~~~~~~~~
Fast food outlet
Dangling potato wedges;
Dine-in or takeaway
~~~~~~~~~
Sunny side up
Egg yolk flamboyance;
Pretty on a plate
~~~~~~~~~
The weather man predicts
Lots of rain today;
Free car wash drenching
~~~~~~~~~
A warrior's sacred pact
To defend this mother land;
Contingency practicals
~~~~~~~~~
Waiting time explores
New city mall shoppes;
Brands shouting sales

Bayside shoppes call with vivid hint,
Array of goods in grand display;
Yield stall by stall finesse that tints,
Stuff to fit mood with poignant play;
Indulge fond taste with grandeur's range,
Delve touch that grooms in luxury;
Expound pure haste in splendour strange.
Sense charm that blooms such tapestries,
Here wealthy toys can spring delight;
Opt to receive the art of poise,
Pure play primes ploy streaming sure sight;
Prize the belief in subtle choice,
Explore grand fit to match joy's spills,
See how rich wit can match fine deals.

Seasons greetings
Christmas rapture;
Business as usual
~~~~~~~~~
Joy fills the air
Christmas moods attend;
Peace on earth
~~~~~~~~~
Downtown lights
Street decorations greet;
Equatorial city spread
~~~~~~~~~
Lion City carnival
Christmas textures call;
Shoppes welcome
~~~~~~~~~
Weary world spins
Federal rate hike;
Business goes on
~~~~~~~~~
Come dear saviour:
Let magic love heal
Our wounded hearts
~~~~~~~~~
Human nature
Faulty and greedy;
Fears confronts conflict
~~~~~~~~~
Troubling times tussle
Terror embraces folly;
Madly destructive
~~~~~~~~~
Haiku glow
Dim sparkle;
Weary streaks here
~~~~~~~~~

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 easy with car boot things.
We're off by ten now on the road,
Our eyes extend our visual load.
Today we speed to a fond target,
Catch seafood feeds: Sydney Fish Market.
Fresh seafood waits in fine array,
Here through these gates feast hungry ways.
So much delight in puzzling mix,
A feast of sights in hungry fix.
Select our meat of seafood fares,
Take our fond treats of precious wares.
Eat with gusto the fresh food gist,
Style our tempo with our hit list.
Add hot mocha for a warm drink,
Coffee fiesta here on the brink.
Catch the sea view down by the edge,
Seagulls in cue sense-surround ledge.
Food fare in shoppes that call to you,
We stare and stop to glimpse odd cues.
There is a feel beyond mere sight,
An ancient will lingers flair bright.
Buy food to eat on the home drive,
In a swift beat, a car of five.
Goodbye Sydney as we head out,
Canberra we track roundabout.
Three hours plus drive to Hamlet Place,
And we arrive as smiles greet space.
A happy trip for memory,
Where taste did grip pure chemistry.
Our routine chores come up to fit,
A simple lore of succinct wit!

Sydney Tour Day Three/
(13 June 2018, ACT)
Fancy a trip down memory lane somewhere
Through the corridors of time and space that steer
Fond passageways to remember our affair...
Here we go now, you and I, my lover dear:
Waltz hand in hand under the evening moon,
Down the Chinatown alleyways ever near.
Steady footsteps and the wind in gusty croon,
Happily through this underpass in sure strides,
Skip along in silly glee like grownup goons.
If ever there be a fine pair in joyride,
I swear it must be you and me in full swing,
Forfeit stern reservations or fancy pride.
Up and down and round the bend our footsteps fling,
As if to tell a tale of flight dramatic
That once upon a time was a lovers' thing.
Glimpse fond recall of airy-fiery magic
As we re-visit our old haunts to retrieve,
Warm passions and reactions still terrific.
Bazaars and shoppes that quaint, old wonder conceives,
Desserts and food offerings that stir old souls,
Our simple walkabout stroll propels in brief.
Though swift years have come and gone, rapture unfolds
A charming loveliness that joins two poles:
Side by side, the two of us now venture bold.
Love is the reason for our seasons and souls,
Live each day as best we can one sacred whole.

(Note: This is a poem in Terza Rima with 11-syllable lines and rhymes.)
City mall stroll,
Quaint shoppes and things;
Brisk on a roll,
Sales placards sing!
Shoppers cascade,
Bump, browse and look;
Fancy parades,
Clothes, food and books.
Hypermart queues,
Waiting in line;
Purchase on cue
Stuff to feel fine.
Tempting offers,
Nice stuff to get;
Do consider,
Cash your best bet!
Waltz here and there,
Love that and this;
Unneeded wares
Sum up the list.
Such pretty fares,
Stocks on display;
Showcase new cares,
Confront your sway.
Here as you walk,
Watch appetites
Pitch new self-talk;
Appeal and bite!
Watch noisy crowds
Congregate here;
Frenzy screams loud,
Store stocks to clear.
To buy or not,
The question comes;
Impulse and lot
Attend and sum!
Snatch a quick browse,
Search for bargains;
Needs and wants grouse,
Reason gets slain.
Be light of heart,
Seek not to buy
What impulse arts,
Heed thrifty sigh.
So many things
You think you need;
Then in a fling,
An empty feed.
Just look around,
Beware of greed;
Just stand your ground,
Don't let cash bleed!
And if you must,
Discern and see
Goods that you trust
To help you be.
Go to the mall,
Buy what you need;
Glide through each stall,
Don't feed your greed!
A prudent spend,
Cash and carry;
A lovely trend
Light and breezy.

Friday episode
Appetite flings code
Silver a la mode
Tour the retail shoppes
Seek the precious hop
White metal on top
Buy this big fancy
Solid and heavy
Fond delivery
Choice fills poise my dear
Heed the vintage cheer
Buy the cast most clear
A collector knows
Precious metal shows
A bright afterglow
There is a feeling
In times so fleeting
So savour living
Silver coin so pure
Clear design allures
A classic that's sure
A wonder of craft
Sculpture in bold draft
Worth and wealth enough
There is a nice tale
In this sanguine sale
Let passion avail

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 dark night.
Two hours around Marina Bay
We circled paths with easy feel;
Explored the grounds, peeked shoppes by bay
More than enough such rustic thrill.
The humid night with hot air still,
Flings sticky sweat on freckled skin;
There's scant delight as fatigue steals
Moments that fret with punctured pin.
Round and round we amble around
Just you and me in sure reprise;
Movement new found in old-time grounds,
With fancy free to greet surprise.
Stroll promenade as Merlion sights;
Here on the verge, old vintage finds;
Lost serenades in obscure light;
As visual merge in heart and mind.
By Esplanade, we loiter here;
Explore the sights with eyes that search;
Watch crowd charades through random spheres,
No beacon lights the curious urge.
We want to see what we came for,
To seek to know the cause of ease;
Watch what's to be the pulse that soars
In the clear show that fumbles tease.
Such is the noise that highlights here;
The dazzle fits the puzzle route;
Poise wears a voice that speaks most clear;
Bits of torn wit that signs now shout.
From time to time, we now explore
The vast expanse of worldly hues;
Seek to fit rhymes with plots that shore
The myriad sense that life can cue.
Then, we back track the way we came
To go around in spree and trip;
Assume a tact to play the game
In joy well found to get a grip.
A tryst in time to flavour choice;
Now hand-in-hand as echoes drift;
Timeless such chimes that follow poise;
Swift moments blend as love now sifts.

Electrons busy
Word craft attends;
Wet rain on concrete

Singapore
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 non-conversation
Awkward these glances
Feelings suspended;
Anticipation ignored
Simple ritual
By this park bench;
Watching time doing nothing
Path of sure ease
If you please;
Leave plot behind
Corner shop
Selling ***** goods;
Curious onlookers
Chinatown haunts
Quaint shoppes;
Random walk-ins
Ancient goods
Antiquity packaged;
Modern labels flaunt
Things Oriental
Goods and services;
Tipping welcome
Geylang highlights
Ancient evenings;
By plumeria scents
This new stadium
Spectacular showpiece;
Sports illustrated
