Best Naan Poems

A young shepherd living near the hill,
taking his flocks everyday to drumlin.
He wonders deeply while sitting upon the rocks,
looking at afar house while feeding his flocks.

The shepherd's desire is fantasy of afar home,
that has golden windows behind hedge of anemone.
He wonders if the windows of...

City life gathers when twilight awakens;

In eateries, drive-ins, greasy spoons and taverns – jumpin’ joints jumpin’

chat patois certainly not a pita stuffed to a naan to scoop
fingers to speak the food to **** on a cliff and rub an ass

Soaking up beer and chasers, churning innards;
Chinese takeaway cartons slung in gutters,
Spraying noodles...

A celebration he planned for his book launch,
The book was on traditional Indian cuisine, I knew
No very different from its modern cousin or new.
I was hesitant to join for my stomach was upset
He pleaded with me, let...

Dipped in butter chicken sauce, it's on the edge
