The Dog Cries

THE DOG CRIES

The dog cries horarse
Apply some glycerine
Okay
It will lick
Your feet
But bite your leg.
Adog is a dog.

A Lark

A Lark

Better have a crow
To caw
Every now and then
Than a lark
With a sweet melody
A well-writ couplet
May do you harm
But handbilling
Has its own charm.

O My Fish

O MY FISH

O my fish
Fishermen have
Fished you
Lying in a basket
Senselessly senseless
In dark oblivious
Nay anaesthetised
You lie dead
With nobody to entomb you.

The Snake And the Dove

The Snake And the Dove

The snake
And the dove
Go their way
Biting ungrudgingly
Soaring unpledgingly.
The sunken cheek
The damaged liver
Can go
Neither
But
Providentially.

A Pyramid

A Pyramid

Who ever gives a penny
To an idler
Idlling with fancy
High up in a pyramid
Socketing
One eye above
The other.
Crawing worms
Choose
But
Penny -hunting
Or noose-bunting.

The Fairy God-mother

THE FAIRY GOD-MOTHER
Protects you
Yea thy fairy god-mother
Will not she err
To involve you
With a god
How frequently
Protection and involvement
intersect each other
One never knows.

Make Not A Fun....

MAKE NOT A FUN.......

Make not a fun of love
It will vanish
Leaving you decried
Wobbling
Upon a stick
Like a beggar
In wait of
A fat purse
Rendered penniless
Looking for a penny.

The Marriage Party

THE MARRIAGE PARTY

The marriage party was over
The bride gone
One lanky thinned out shadow
Totteringly noticeable
Against the wall
Tears oozing out
Of sockets
Balls played up
The heart running down

Lost, lost, lost

Lost, lost, lost

Lost, lost, lost
Men, women and children
No matter what their age
Or what the phase
Of life
Through which they are passing
They are traceable
One never knows
The fact is known
They are lost.

Culture And Nature

CULTURE AND NATURE

Culture and nature
Are poles apart
The war torn sky
Unhinges the individual
To look up and look down
Always on the way
Happy or dismayed
Flattering himself
Or the other
Cry for indulgence
To his mother.
