A Beautiful poem that touches deep in my heart inside. I applaude you, since this poem is simple but very heartwarming, heart touching and a loveliest Ode to your hometown. Very fascinating to read.5 Stars Top Score and myriad more, dear poet!

A lovely ode to a great place, a nice niche place where any would love to live for eternity.

A creative and compelling composition that is nostalgic and nice!

How great to write such a nice poem about your hometown. I feel very good about my hometown; the people I personally know and the atmosphere so long as there are no politicians anywhere within sight or sound. It's the politicians of every nation who create the problems and the animosities humanity experiences between them. I would love to exchange ideas about how you approach writing a poem; like do you place the end words first and write into them, keeping your theme in mind? (I have done that) Your rhyming is very good. I enjoyed your poem; its theme and the way you wrote it, too.

That special place...made by people.

This poem is a snappy, delightful jaunt down the road to your home town. Certainly, you have painted a captivating and endearing image, and our only regret is that the journey is not longer. Well done, good poet! :)

I love and recognize the feelings expressed in this very well written poem. I fell in love with my own Kampung in Malaysia almost as soon as i moved here

What a nice poem! .. There's no place like home...... Good work, Sulaiman.....

So beautiful, one could feel the immense love for one's hometown, full of nationalistic pride. You have a talent for writing, keep it up....rated 10++

My early childhood was spent here in Solok Air Batu, Masjid Tanah, Melaka, Malaysia, despite of having born in Singapore. It's a very beautiful farmers' village.
