Book Review: The Traveller Series

Tiffany Teoh’s book, “The Traveller Series… in forty-one poems”, is, in many ways, a traveller’s diary in verse. No, it does not give you specific dates or locations, but it is filled with beautiful images of nature and lines that are thought provoking. Many a time as I read this collection of poems, I found…

I wait

Like the pale purple tinge of sky that you missed when you watched the sun set over the sea.   Like the rounded stone on the river bed that you stepped on as you crossed the turbulent stream at dawn.     Like the lines of unstructured verse you do not read but say you…

“Life is for the living.”

“Life is for the living,” my father used to say. I never really understood what he meant. Oh, I was familiar with death. I was never shielded from it and as a young teen, often accompanied my father on his occasional trips to the crematorium or graveyard. Later, on the way home, I would I…

Two words for Vaishali

Can two words ever be enough for a friend who taught me the art of taking myself less seriously, turned life on its head, and made me laugh at everything! The friend who filled my world with fresh pots of paint colours I never knew existed bled my grey skies into sunshine again and again….

Sustenance

I close my eyes feel the soft sigh the creak of a chair as you sit at my bedside laying silent vigil upon the long dark night.   Morning comes eyes half open I watch you slip away into the day taking with you the demons of my night    The light is yours, the dark…

Home

​I return often  to the home of my childhood to stare at the bars that once unshackled our souls.
