Childhood Poems MORMON BOYS
Mormon boys, white shirts
Black trousers
Black ties smartly-clad
On the march to spread
The other-testament
Of Jesus Christ faith
Raising many eyebrows
Even in Borneon streets
Several thousand miles
From home in a battle to win
Converts among Catholics,
Anglicans and other protestants
Who have long been here
These new fishers of men
Scour the streets from
Morn to night accosting
People of all walks of life
Day after day
Hoping for a catch
An admirable proselytising spirit!
Leaf
Nature's topmost creative quests
Reflected in leaves,
So many shapes and shades
They do a million dances
In the winds to delight and
Uplift the world;
A bamboo slim tapering tipped ends;
A Thai dancer's graceful fingers
Tickling our hearts.
A Purplish butterfly plant;
Ballet dancers with their envious
Diaphanous wings and twin-filament tiara
Spiralling on their toes.
Travelling trees fanned by wind;
Concert dancers bidding audience farewell.
Papaya upright curvaceous crown;
An Indian Bharata Natyam
Dancer flaunting her exotic figures.
Willow in the winds; A Hawaiian dancer
And her tassellated gown beating round her hip.
