Festivals times four by Sakina Kagda

Celebrations times four
blithesome specialty of Singapore
ambience of Christmas, Hari Raya
Deepavali and Chinese New Year
Amaranthine charm
gastronomic variety
Cakes, kwachis, love-letters
in biscuits, oranges, satay
Idli Tosai and minum air,
garner and reciprocate
ang-pows and hampers
garniture and garrulity,
generic smiles
corals and  yamsengs
chanting and abolutions
jargon and jesting
gaiety, companionship
of many amalgams
mingle, twangle, jingle
decorate the day
dress the night
