*907 Stay As Sweet As You Are (Ghazal)
Excuse me asking - 'Does he take - Sugar? '
'Would he like on lump or two of - Sugar? '
Cornflakes? I'm afraid we're out of Sugar
The ration? Just two ounzes of Sugar.
To make the medicine go down - Sugar
To coat a very bitter pill - Sugar
A simple disaccharide - that's Sugar
Are All Poets Mad?
Are all poets mad?
That's the question, to be had
Maybe posed by Shakespeare (As well he might
in Winter's Night.)
But Robert Burton had the answer.
Yes, they are for certain.
And all others who inhibit this sphere
Are mad as well It's clear.
Damascus
Peace from the northern wind that swept across Barada River.
As long as that wind sweeps, tears would be everlasting upon Damascus.
I excuse from all pens and rhymes if couldn't express the matter.
About its disaster catastrophic events, the pen couldn't describe.
Its reminiscence on my heart still is glimpsing.
My heart palpates and never can forget it.
The catastrophic event you complain and suffer.
Resulted into, the pain of my heart on its deep wound.
I inter Damascus when the dusk overlaps.
Facing The Sea With Spring Blossoms 面 朝 大 海 ， 春 暖 花 开
Facing the sea with spring blossoms
By Hai Zi
From tomorrow on,
I will be a happy man;
Grooming, chopping,
and traveling all over the world.
From tomorrow on,
I will care foodstuff and vegetable,
Acacia Leaves (Haiku)
The Acacia Leaves
Delicious Gourmet foodstuff
Giraffe reaching out
Dubai - A City Of Humanity In Unity!
As I walked, everywhere
I saw labourers atop some buildings with safety helmets
I saw them working at construction sites with diligence.
I saw unity in humanity.
As I walked, everywhere
I saw people of many nationalities rushing to workplaces
I saw them standing anxiously at the traffic signals
I saw unity in humanity.
Hunger Waltz
In 1868 the famous Austrian musician
Johann Strauss II composed the "Tales
from the Vienna Woods", Opus 325,
one of his six ingratiating waltzes.
A sublime musical triumph, it became
an inseparable part of the pleasures of
life in the joyous and romantic Austrian
capital.
However, as far as I am concerned,
Ode To The Oysters Of Apalachicola
These ugly looking lumps of calcium carbonate,
Unlike their cousins that collectors take.
Have a name known far and wide
As Apalach Oysters. ‘Tis said with pride.
No other Oysters hold a candle,
To those grown in Florida's panhandle.
The Bay's are large ‘n sweet;
Known at the Bar as Nature's treat.
Perfidy
Perfidy is a fly
That simulates salmonella
Landing lazily on a stinking sty like a tragedy
With neither parachute nor umbrella
Contaminating any foodstuff
Its feet touch from any hair branches as its tentacles
Release bacilli with enough
Virulence in circles
By The Tails - Lincoln Park Zoo
Howler monkeys are monkeys who
Know how and when to use their tails
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo
When opportunity avails.
On tree limbs the keepers hang out
Feeder bins positioned so that
Getting down to goodies no doubt
Required skills of an acrobat.
Each monkey tail wrapped 'round each branch,
Allowed them to swing low enough,
The Irony Of Life And A Little More
A line of ants laden with foodstuff moves in
Another line of their brethren comes from the opposite direction
And the latter move sideways and give way to the former!
They have a small world of great deeds!
An old man struggles to stand in a crowded bus
And near him a youngster sits with a smile and looks through the panes
A civilization moves at a speed of its own
As age factor has no buyers over here.
The Halted Passenger Train And The Goat Looking Over To
The blackly goat
On the tracks
From this to that one
Marking the passenger
By the foot bridge
Eating the banana
Or some eatable thing
To pick,
The black goat,
The standing halted train
Life Of Grass
Although grass to a handful surfaces vain,
The very being of it,
Mounting all over reminding of equivalence,
Endures constant pain.
Dedicates unselfishly as foodstuff to others,
None ironically cares whatsoever,
We at times laze on the carpet natural,
Tumult of exuberance, through its vein, runs.
An Eagle
I see an eagle through the window there,
That tastes freedom by tearing the current of air,
It is not looking at the sky for sure,
Since there is hardly anything for it to fly for.
It is the earth alone,
That for food it concentrates on,
Like an expert detective,
It is ever vigilant and active.
Dodoitsu In Bittersweet
The aboveground nest of bees
brings sweet foodstuff kept in hives
as the colony carries
painful bitter bites.
The Bazaar
The Bazaar
I was born in a dot
-dot, spot, called: "Iran"
- (some may say: "Persia! ")
To me, as I have seen
-the words are animals
-they live and do evolve.
Dreams Of Last Night
Dreams of last night
Too tired
-hit the sack early for
-One of my longest nights
-had dream
-of father
-in a part
-and a child
-in other
Must Hate Finch
Must hate Finch
Went to help a friend
-disastrous funny day,
-marvellous encounters…
"Drop me right here…"
-I told him when over.
"I won't go till I end…"
From The Very Beginning
I am taking shelter of You only
And You can only give me relief
From all fear and from You
I have received this life.
I know You have made my entry
In to my mother's womb
Through the particle of my father's semen
And from the very first night
The sperm and ovum mixed
Foolery
Fool's paradise-
This world.
Go not with
Foolery, dear men.
Show not foolhardiness,
And embrace not
Anything foreign.
