abuseFavorite line: "You frankly prefer the anonymous/self-gratified bougainvillea splashes." A very nice image, and an interesting way of thinking about flowers. Keep writing! :)

abuseA very interesting poem--lovely imagery. Everything was crystal clear, and I liked the way you described several things. For example, the rain dribbled down like porridge. At least for me, that was a new and unique way of describing the rainfall, and I found that very amusing. ^_^ Good job, this sounded archaic, in a way, yet tinged with new-age... a wonderful combination. Keep up the nice work!

abuseI like how you are taking real situations and writing about them. It gives such credibility and strength to your writing, thick with culture and sensory details. Love it!

abuseI don't quite understand this, but as I have nerver left europe, that is hardly your fault. I like the way you took each aspect of the extract, and twisted them with your own modern idea of how they fit into singapore. Something I intend on reading again and hope it becomes clearer.

abuseI like this alot (and this isn't false praise- I don't lie in my reveiws)

The only false note I felt was "All is white, the colour of purity,", because that was too cliched for my liking. But then I did like the "(in nature never found uncorrupted)". So I suppose they even out.

Normally I wouldn't be too keen ont he image of the "Of this rainfall that dribbles, like porridge/ From the corner of the willful sky-child’s tongue". But it worked in the tone of the poem. And was a strange, memorable image.

Good work.
