Best Quadruped Poems
Many MoonsEcho of distant cries,
quadruped steps deepening into dusk—
wind folding the earth’s breath.
Craftsman of the spider web,
seas of lightning possessing the sky.
Guardian of the other side,
conceiver of comings and goings,
I will meet you soon—
after the waning of many moons,
God-willing—I will meet you soon!
Til then
you...

Horse RacingThere once was a young jockey called Morse,
Who gave a nod and a wink to his horse.
But the horse it was blind,
So no way could it find,
The winning post on the race course.

The RacehorseIn equine racing they always say,
You hope to win when you make your play;
Off course as you know,it's the horses that show,
They're the only ones to make their hay.
With no help from the divine my guess could be as good as thine,
For doesn't our quadruped...

Thoreau's QuestionOn this Eid, as your sumum bonum
Is consumerism and as your soul is
Mortgaged to the Federal Reserve Bank
And hedonism, your mental wish-list has been
Inked on ‘things-to-dos’. The catalogue is
Quite impressive. Apart from the toddler,
On your lap, often you place your lap-top.
This time before...

Youth Is An Evil AbodeThough I was child,
Yet had no fears,
Soon I grew adult,
Heart busted into tears.
Restless sleep, painful dreams
Always keeping up brew,
Malignant desires knocked at

An Ode To My CotOh, dear Cot, you have supported me steady
From my days of infancy to senility
All through life you are my close buddy,
In unrest, it is in you I seek tranquillity.
Sprawling on your chest, to what all places I wander
To dream’s never- never land where...

Ode
Le PoisonThe Poison, our kind seeks but rarely finds
We try to escape its consequences yet
We are always beguiled by its strong essence and state of mind
Protected by laws and rules set by Society
Atrocious, wicked Society concealed under principles and convention
Watching every step with a keen...

The Social Network PreySocial network stances a spider’s web today
Once trapped you are slaved for life all the way
Where you see a virtual world of “Likes” to display
Showcasing how life is better in each ones day
Where friends are just numbers and not people in real
Disremembering that life was...

Ballad For Precious PlanetNow hear this tale of Planet Earth
And how it was robbed of its worth.
From a species of quadruped
There evolved a novel biped,
A new species with arms and hands
And versatile for new demands.
The biped learnt to wield a stick
And found many a hunting trick.
Thus came the...

TedOne fine day Ted sat up like an arrowhead
Straight out he jumped out of bed
Had a quick coffee and a bite of bread
Ted liked to think things through in his head
Nothing he liked better than plan ahead
‘It’s deplorable status quo that I dread’
In love...

A UnicornTo some people, a Unicorn is a
fabled, ferocious beast,
whitish in color, having the head
and legs of a horse.
In the middle of its head, it has
long horn…a twist,
It is widely used as heraldic
signs and symbol-- of course!
A terrific tale once said the...

Cows, Cattle, and MaverickA Texan rancher Samuel Maverick,
Who never his calves and cattle branded,
That caused to create the word maverick—
An eccentric rebel born of cow shed!
Now, before the word breached its national,
Borders it meant ‘all cattle unbranded’,
And before that, ‘one unconventional’,
Mutating still: ‘master-less...

The Reluctant PreyBlack grass dances in the warm winter air
And furry quadrupeds run wild with the
Shackles of instinct.
The metallic creature gives spontaneous birth
To bipeds who desire to kill for sport;
Two worlds and instincts collide.
A Million worlds and a
One-in-a-million meeting
Beneath the glow of a red moon.
Hunger for pleasure,
Pleasure...

Inner PainsI have no torment, no pain-difficulty
I am not the seller of sorrowful key
Stellar of the far friends I am
New sky in my entrepreneur jam
Being human I can feel meticulously
the pains of dying fishes in my hands without water,
the pains of dying slaughtered chicken, ducks, birds...

Your Brothers Keeper Between mankind and other animals,
The Creator sees no difference.
They breathe the same air,
they all need the waters,
they all must feed,
they all require shelter and love;
they all reproduce
and care for their young.
The all mourn a loss
and revel in joyful play.
They all bleed and pour forth...
