S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri Poet Verse

Salad Days

Many can recall and recollect
the halcyon moments of carefree abandon 
When juvenile limbs climbed upon cedar limbs 
or squatted under oak or baobab shades
while languishing in youthful salad days
As they chased butterflies or katydids 
Yet ironically in their prime 
most disdained the veggie salads.

No bothering much where and how 
the shillings and earnings came from
Home made cakes and pies gobbled in for granted delight 
Engrossed in exploring  the wide old world with youthful eyes.
