Mountain landscape
Lawrence Chung Hiung, Malaysia
Thousand mountains around the parks,
A flock of birds flying high up the skies,
Above the misty clouds,
Above the sea and mountain cliffs.
A sudden appearance of rainstorm,
A heavy downpour flooded the lands,
Trees move and sway in the storm winds,
Water rapid gorging the rivers.
Lose self in the undulating valleys and peaks,
In mystical mossy forests,
Sprawling jungles trails and plantations, classic tropical flowers, trees and farms
Lose yourself
In the mystical long rivers and waterfalls
In the mists over the highest point of the highlands
And re-discover yourself again.
A THING OF BEAUTY Jacinta Ramayah, Malaysia
I spied a shrub by the bank of a stream, there my short legs took me,
Escaping from mummy’s clutches, a glory of red flowers I had to see,
Five trumpet-like petals fluttered in the breeze like maidens genteel,
I grasped a petal in my hand, I marvelled at its delicate satiny feel,
In the centre, standing straight and proud, was a golden stamen,
At its tip, pollens from the anther floated like dust from heaven,
I took a whiff but there was no fragrance like that of a rose,
And thankfully the leaves toothed edges didn’t prick my nose,
I held nature’s beauty in my hand and was filled with awe
That’s when I fell in love with a hibiscus flower at the age of four.
Far away love
Suhana Begum, Singapore
Our lines, around they wander though never cared about a blunder each like granules oh a wonder reciting in ears an invisible reader inside playing a joy of thunder bringing thy visions by closer always in mind it ponders meanings in disguise lying under leaving those questions in hunger failing never to drench those viewers and hopes they are getting nearer my feet here to reach there in harbor.
