Go cast a spell of fistful rice, outcasted!

Go cast a spell of fistful rice, outcasted!

Hunger and me, a writhing unruly,
a belly, a body
Feels the gluttony, every time, an omnivorous hungry
Like a scarcity of rain turns slowly a character poem
Into an inferno, 
the hunger and the hungry!
Salient a fireball- a parable of hunger and the blister
Burning this body in entirety , entirely
Hand to

A Fistful of Minutes

"a breezy yet comfortable autumn day...ah, so lovely!" - quote by poet.


   his eyes flutter shut a fistful of minutes, 
    a much welcome respite into himself. 
 he sits in the shadow of a jacaranda tree.
 as he listens to the mutters of dry foliage, 
  a lone

FISTFUL

Fistful butterflies sway along with the wind.
Ever frolicking through the vibrant desires.

Fistful sand slipping down in haste.
Unbothered about the delays and tussles around.

Fistful days flipping over.
Highlighting every single day.

Fistful memories binding themselves together.
Creating a most treasured treatise.

Fistful wishes probable, contingent or disguise.
Forever igniting the coal inside.

Fistful choices through the passable maze.
Attempt to escape but no

A Fistful of Senryu

A fading intent
Lost amid echoed voices
A blurring of lines


A meaningless word
Adrift on a feeling
Softness or sting


Her eyes lied
As she spoke her “truth”
A lover’s denial


A barb blindly tossed
An unnoticed flinch
An unshed tear


Malnourished 
When the wise lack wisdom
Un-nurtured youth

A Fistful of Truffles

There are Guineas that live in America
Guineas that live in a zoo
But the craziest, zaniest guineas of all
Are the ones that reside in Peru

It is said that they live in the Andes
And on weekends they invade the towns
Putting everyone there in a happy affair
And ridding its people of frowns

They usually start early evening
About six as

A Fistful of Wishes

I wish to find that lost sock

To not say that “stupid thing”

For butterflies and grandchildren

A peace filled sunrise

I wish wishes came true

Quote: If I tell you that I have a gem folded in the palm of my hand, the question 
of belief arises, but if I unclench my fist and show you the gem, it will not...

Fistful of Lies

while words sour away into thin air
the writer persists
no at all by imagination
yet with a fistful of lies;
words transform the truth
sentences elope with dishonesty
the published book a fraud.

Fistful of Foliage

For those missing summer don't forget that a few leaves too many covering the storm drain can make any street into a lake. So come meet me downtown, you'll know me by my fistfuls of foliage.

Fistful of Memories

Clenching right fist tight
wrenches your memories fast.
No need for string tied
around a finger knotted,
for left fist clench pops recall.

Fistful of Snakes

she suffered in silence
the inglorious dirt of rumor
as she tried unweave the web it wraps round her
far from being willing to live this way
the lies and the stink of deception settle in
but she keeps struggling against the tide
she is a sweet beauty incongruous
the late day clouds roll in
and she casts a weary glance at the
