My Favourite Family Member

Every evening,as i am doing my school work in my room,the familiar sound of my father's car reaches my ears.I imagine his Satria coming up the driveway,the engine purring to a stop.I know that in a few moments,my father will be pausing outside my door,looking in quietly,so as not to stir me from my concentration.I know we will feel pleased as he watches me studying.
My father at 53 years,has thinning hair swept back from his forehead.He has a slim and athletic body.His broad shoulders and rather serioys demean our give him an air of authority.Yet,behind his steel-rimmed glasses are soft,kind eyes.
My father has always been my source of encouragement when i was very young he would take a book from our small home library and read aloud to me every night.Secure and loved,on his lap,i was introducedto the fascinating realm of books.He would read stories and parables from the Bible.Thus,he instilled in me a sense God's presence in this world.
I remember how,as he was reading,my father would point out the spelling of worlds.Then one day,he instructed me to read the words for myself.To our shared delight,i found that i was able to do so.From that day on wards,i was the one who would read a loud,with his gentle correction every now and then.Soo after that,i was picking up the books and reading them on my own.I become quite a book worm.
As i grey into boyhood,my bookish ways and disunterest in outdoor games made me overweight,clumsy and rather unfit.One day,my father stood observing me as i was running to a field,just 50 yards away.I arrived there,huffing and puffing.Worriedly,he told me that he would not like to see his son grow up into an unhealthy man.
From that day on wards,he started to take me on jogs.At first,i was a most reluctant jogger.However,these days,as i stand perched on the peak of Bukit China,breathing deeply after a good run,i remember his words,"A healthy body breeds a healthy mind ".
My father a stire of wise sayings which may seem common to some but always strike the correct note with me.Once,when i was really depressed,he put an arm around my shounders and gently asked me what was troubling me.Lifting my bowed head,i poured out my heart's discontent.After listening,he consoled me.Then he said,"smile, and the world around you will smile".Somehow,i was able to smile in spite of my problems.
At another time,when i was about to give up on a task,he advised me,"if a job deserves to be done,it deserves to be done well".Somehow,his words gave me the strength to try again,and i was abke to succeed.Since then, whenever i feel daunted by a task,his advice always comes to mind and this spurs me on to persevere.
Looking back,i realise that every step of the way,through my childhood and adolescence,my father has been there for me whenever i needed him.When i was sick,he would rush me to the doctor.When i was sick at heart,he would know just the right things to say.In any kind of trouble,i would just have ti give him a call.He would surely be there.
I am only a few years away from adulthood and know that many more challenges lie a head to me.However,i can be sure that my father will be there,looking out for me all the way.

SYNOPSIS

This poem is seen through the eyes of the poet who describes a situation whereby the persona,probably a young lady,who is captivated by the quiet eyes of a young man.The lady believes she sees in those eyes mirroring the sadness within him and begging herfor love and kindness so as to give him happinies.

The second stanza reveals that the lady was not wise enough to listen to the advice of never to be on good terms of those who only seek fun and pleasure.As a result,she gets entangled in a difficult situation where numerous questions cannot be answered.

The poet ends up in the third stanza with a bit of further advice,that is one should be extra certain that a nice-looking petrson is also one who possesses a decent character.This is to ensure that one does not not lose at the game of chance i.e. the game of life,though losing out one's heart(love) once or twice is understandable.

HE HAD SUCH QUIET EYES

He had such quiet eyes
She did not realise
They were two pools of lies
Layered with thinnest ice
To her,those quiet eyes
Were breathing desolate sighs
Imploring her to be nice
And to render him paradise

If only she'd been wise
And had listened to the advice
Never to compromise
With pleasure-seeking guys
She'd be free from "the hows and why"

Now here's a bit of advice
Be sure that nice really means nice
Then you'll never be losing at dice
Though you may lose your heart once or twice

SYNOPSIS IN THE MIDST OF HARDSHIP

The poem IN THE MIDST OF HARDSHIP is about the experience of a group of villagers who go out to search for a lost albino buffalo.They spend a whole day and night braving a terrible flood,amidst dead animals and floating pieces of bark.In spite of their extreme discomfort and failed mission,they surprisingly remain calm,hopeful and in high spirits.
The first stanza tells us about the return of a number of villagers in their soaked clothes,hungry,with scratches on their hands and wounds on their legs.They go straight to the stove as they must be feeling hungry.In spite of their extreme discomfort,they show no signs of despair.
The second stanza relates what they go through the night and the day before.They brave the terrible flood waters among bloating carcasses and floating tree barks looking for their son,s albino buffalo which is never found.
The third stanza reveals that they are born in poverty.They have more or less accepted their fate and have learnt never to sight or complain about their lot in life.They take the harsh realities of life philosophically and go out living life leisurely.

TOPIC : IN THE MIDST OF HARDSHIP

At dawn they returned home
Their soaky clothes torn
And approached the stove
Their limbs marked by scratches
Their legs full of wounds
But on their brows
There was not a sign of despair

The whole day and night just passed
They had to brave the horrendous flood
In the water all the time
Between bloated carcasses
And tiny chips of tree barks
Desperately looking for their sons
Albino buffalo that was never found

They were born amidst hardship
And grew up without a sigh or a complaint
Now they are in the kitchen,making
Jokes while rolling their cigarette leaves
