Excerpts from Haikuku
Little India Riot Haiku
Tragic accident.
Drunk transient workers in grief
threw veggies, burnt cars.Riot Hero Haiku
Hello, Murasu?
I'm the hero caught on cam!
I have the same shirt!Ground Commander Haiku
Some people like to
watch the world burn. Some forget
they still have a job.The Drinker’s Haiku 1
Outside, I cannot
get drunk after ten-thirty.
So I stagger home.The Drinker’s Haiku 2
Everything is so
expensive in Singapore!
Need to drink again.
