The Lucky Plaza (poetry)

Dinah Roma

And I remember her through the day’s leisure. My veiled urgency to leave the spot

We found each other. Wanting her to end the telling of stories whose origins I know so much and wouldn’t
want to recall. To reach for her From my tables end, and touch her hand trained.

In the acquiescence of service. To let her know she could have leave the bowl, its cool indifference,
behind. Simply to let her know stories revive and inspire.That I do have my own.

They come from where is she’s from. The same fractures of a people beyond breaking. The same faith
years despair That light unwilling to surrender to the remaining hours of the day The slow return to night.
For that is all we have.

She to the house polished to her children’s absence, strangers in the company of kins. And me to the
books I judge the world by. Wiser by the hour as the tensile lines

singing of beauty cage her pin Within places of the imaginary.

Who is the persona? (describe vividly)

The persona was able to establish some similarities and difference between her
and the migrant worker.

What is the persona trying to say to the reader?


In the line at the poem “to let her know she could leave the bowl, its cool indifference, behind” it simply
tells and describes that every migrant worker in Singapore is striving on what they want, they working
for their own reasons especially to their families and even if it is hard they keep working for the sake of
their needs and the needs of their own families.

Highligth and label the figurative languages used.

The word “Hand” signifies the sacrifice of every migrant worker that striving in their work , to achieve
what they want and giving their service in the company that they worked for through their hands.

-Metonomy

Singing of beauty cage her pain/within places of imaginary” Because in this lines it tells that there’s a
actually case that happening and there’s a true stories behind those lines in the poem. It seems that
every migrant worker in Singapore has a true stories behind their smiles and happines when they go to
Lucky Plaza.

Write your 2-stanza reply to the persona.

The general perspective of the speaker is that migrant domestic work for the migrant worker is an
important thing for them because it is the reason why they sustain the needs of their families. They
sacrifice their own happiness, experiencing home sickness and every migrant worker has a deep
experience, they have their own stories like the migrant worker who also worked for their families and
also goes to Lucky plaza to make some rest and do some leisure after they long time of work.
