Do you read poems or sajak? I do but never in public before this photo was taken by Hanny,an active member of KL Flickr group. I did not know what came over me, but on that day at a cafe next to Central Market I did that.One is about getting old written by my uncle and another about the death of my wife's uncle Allahyarham Dato' Ustaz Yusof Zaky Yaakub,a muslim scholar and a prolific writer.
For my own record,I just completed reading(alone) antoloji puisi bertajuk Mutiara Taman Abadi written by Prof Dr Wan Mohd Nor Wan Daud-a fellow of ISTAC.This sajak is about Religion,Philosophy and Society- a very heavy content. Another collection of sajak from the same author is entitled Dalam Terang.Thank you Prof Dr Wan Mohd Nor for giving me your books full of knowledge and wisdom.
NB: My thanks to Hanny for your kind permission to use the above photo in my blog.To fellow owners of moleskine notebook,I was reading from my pocket moleskine notebook;-) If you notice,I am left-handed.
Some people are just gifted to produce poems after poems. Some people write poems thru knowledge & experience. Some just write poems when some incident/events triggered them to do so. To write poems just thru 'ilham' from up above is simply majestic.

Hey, Nublan Zaki, the son of Allahyarham is my friend. He was instrumental in setting up Islamic counter at the Bourse together with Dr Hasni back then. Wonder where he is now, the last time I heard when he went over to Canada.
BTW, love poem so much but I am not trained to easily understand until such further reading / listening. How I wish I could come up with one... and read it out up on the stage.
