Butterfly The little caterpillar creeps, Through my garden like a soft sculpture. Nibbling here, nibbling there, Munching on leaves everywhere, Eating and growing. Now in the chrysalis it sleeps, After weaving a silken home. Changing here, changing there, Being transformed within its lair, Created anew. A beautiful butterfly now peeps, From its silken home to the skies. Flying here, flying there, Lighting on flowers everywhere, Delighting me.

The Editor Singapore Times La Belle Singapore 546649
Sir, Sub: Poor maintenance of Public Park Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I want to draw the attention of the concerned authorities to the poor maintenance of a public park in our area. Public parks are essential for the localities where residents come and refresh their tired and fatigue minds. But in our colony, the park is not at all maintained. It is neglected by the authorities. The residents of nearby slum are using the area as a public convenience. Many rowdies create disturbance. The park has become a favourite place for stray cattle and dogs that use it to rest. Miscreants sit and gamble here in the broad daylight. The park has become a hub of illicit activity. If immediate action is not taken, the park will turn into a devil’s den and would continue to be a cause of nuisance for the colony. I hope the concerned authorities will take immediate steps in this matter.
