I lay covered in my green dress my favorite, yes! shades of green cover my skin
fern green laces tickle my chin forest green neckline is keen show off my beautiful sleeves myrtle green mountain peaks rush down the flat grassland you will find my warm body beneath cool mints of pool
my waist is covered under green fibers my arms spread open like welcoming mother my legs cross and soak in aquamarine seawater
LISTEN! Someone’s tearing my green dress pulling off the hem
He’s not my wantok so I’ll tokaut The stranger I’m in danger
Stop tearing my green dress It’s my priceless green dress twisted and twinned with fibers of pine
viridian and persian teal, turquoise, tanned light green, moss green midnight green, lawn green, screamin, thyme and lime
Ples Singsing is envisioned to be a new platform for Papua Niuginian expressions of creativity, ingenuity and originality in art and culture. We deliberately highlight these two very broad themes as they can encompass the diverse subjects, from technology, medicine and architecture to linguistics, music, fishing, gardening et cetera. Papua Niuginian ways of thinking, living, believing, communicating, dying and so on can cover the gamut of academic, journalistic or opinionated writing and we believe that unless we give ourselves a platform to talk about and discuss these things in an open, free and non-exclusively academic space that they may remain the fodder for academics, journalists and other types of writers alone. New social media platforms have given every individual a personal space to share their feelings and ideas openly, sometimes without immediate censure. The Ples Singsing writer’s blog would like to provide another more structured platform for Papua Niuginian expressions in written, visual and audio formats while also providing some regulation of the type and content of materials to be shared publicly.
