I have a voice

I have a voice and I want to write
I wrote today
A poem about place
Turned out to be about people instead!
Need to add to it - how the place made the friendship possible the people memorable

Reading cooling off day now
I love writers like alfian sa'at though to him I may just be a civil servant dummy

I love musicians like aravind  sir too!

And I too have a voice I can share

Reading about g e 2011 makes me excited inside
Recalls the excitement r if that year that election
Suddenly I felt I could play a part in the politics - vote watch history being made feel some trepidation

Place poetry

Neighbours who were friends

Still meet up now years later

At weddings

At celebrations of birth

A world, a world

A world of Singaporeans who were once foreigners

You ask me to write a poem about a place

I can only write about a place through its people
