Appetizer Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Appetizer



Stirring up a spiced sense of mood,
A fancied drink sipped before food
That smirks of tonnes of attitude,
Appetizer for deep pockets seems good.

Good for maws not hungry enough,
For bellies not bestirred enough,
Mouths that await chef-stirred-up stuff,
Taste-starved tongues avid for great gruff.

My mind goes to millions indeed
That has no need appetite to breed.
An idle mind's mirth, needless lead,
A starter for greedy wolves' greed,

Nothing can hunger build I feel
O like skipping an ordered meal!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
An appetizer goes by many a fancy name: hors d'oeuvre or the main course of dinner, starter, first course, entrée, nibble, cocktail snack, sneak preview, and the like, which, a poor man almost starving would laugh at. This odd-looking sonnet too laughs at it.

May be like appetizers we order in eateries, this Appetizer it seems has not whetted any poet's appetite! !
