Letters from Bukit Merah

This is the first poem in the collection of English poetry that I submitted for the Golden Point Award competition.

It does not even look like a poem, and on hindsight, maybe I should not have submitted it. But the damage has been done. First impression counts. The idea is, by using this, it serves as an introduction, to the subject and theme that is to follow.

So, here's the hors d'oeuvre.

Letters from Bukit Merah



Because the rent is cheap,
and i do not have much money,

and it is only a ten minutes
walk to my workplace,
what would you have done in my shoes?
