Hi. I am a former journalist and trainer currently expressing myself in poetry, spoken word, short stories and creative non-fiction. I am based in Malaysia.
Quotes from poems:
"There really is no vaccine for the vanity of the vacuous
The entitled can't be immunized from herd mentality
The virus is in the feed, endemic among the weeds"
"Why can't you and I get along
On the only planet we live on"
"A marriage is a cathedral with only one entrance and two exit wounds."
