Mixed up stuff (Biryani) … 2203–2k13

[saadat tahir]

Mixed up stuff in a dumpster truck
Placed in front, lost out lady luck

Cut up chunks of a coral snake
Left in an oven too cold to bake

The dyed rice in a toxic brew
That if eaten leaves eyes askew

Yellow red and burnt out browns
Craftily topped with lemony crowns

Seriously! Carrots too! In the milieu
Gulp and keep in a murderous stew

No mutton or chicken or even beef
Dead and barren like a burnt out reef

Charred remains of onion flakes
Now have to eat whatever it takes

Pooch wagged and lowered his snout
Hair raised cat, lost, screeched about

Flies too nose dived into the morass
Like so many soldiers dying of gas

Girl who cooked it will kick me out
Send me spiting in a coughing bout

This one reminded me of a poem by Kenn nesbitt.....that I had recited in a poetry competetion in my school.........

Your poem is good as well.....

[jainrohit]

also reminded me of questions by pablo neruda , although that was quite meta physical and interrogative , this one is light , colorful and crisp ........

You are man of words s.t........Wonderfully written .......

chut gaya mere muh me paani
chakhkar aapki yeh biryaani
chaawal aur raajma ne badhaaya swaad
khaane me hui badi aasani

(i will have to improve on my hindi poetry:P)

...............very craftily put to words Sir........ flasbacks of places and times with friends cooking....
Pooch wagged and lowered his snout
Hair raised cat, lost, screeched about

Flies too nose dived into the morass
Like so many soldiers dying of gas

......this is beyond words to describe.........great stuff!!!

Girl who cooked it will kick me out
Send me spiting in a coughing bout

...........this one is a teaser coz no matter how hard you try to keep yor laughter to a chuckle it just smashes your lips open from the inside....
