Baking

close up photo of a round wholemeal sourdough bread with a deep score on its right side

‘Twas a perfect score—
spread a smile from end to end;
successful sourdough.

Shine on

Photo of the pinkish sky and a sliver of the sun setting on the horizon.

In its dying light,
fleeing imminent darkness,
our sun shines brightest.

Drink up

photo of a glass coffee cup, half full, and a water bottle on a table at an airport

Double-dose caffeine
homeward on a long haul flight—
hydration is key.

Past

Photo of a street mural depicting Singaporean children playing board games in their home in the 70s.

A different time—
echoes of a life gone by,
etched in street murals.

Expectant

Photo of a dog sitting on the doorstep of a house.

Expecting payment
for his work as guardian—
dog awaiting bones.
