Flamboyant Flamingos

Greater Flamingos flock here*, 
flames of white and pink bring cheer. 
Tall and graceful, standing still, 
playful pecking with their bill. 

As a colony, they stand
with pink plumage, plush and grand. 
Bending down curved snowy necks, 
rummaging for food objects. 

In the waters, feeding full
with their heads 'neath wetland's pull. 
Insects, crabs and tiny fish, 
shrimps and planktons as they wish. 

Calling each other loudly, 
honking deep, they court proudly. 
Dancing, preening, paired for life, 
Flamboyant flamingos rife.

Premium Member A Pickle Party

Let’s all bring our mortar and pestle
And have a party of great papaya pickle
We call this a famous Thai ‘’som tum”
So delicious! Heavenly awesome!

Let’s first wear our kitchen attire
Dance the Thai music, don’t be shy
Then prepare all the somtum ingredients
For superb taste, a hundred percent.

Main is fresh green papaya, shredded thinly
Raw string beans, chopped evenly
Dried shrimps, fish sauce, limes and lots of chili
Tomatoes, peanuts and crabs smashed heavily.

Yummy somtum is always served with sticky rice
Paired with fried chicken—get more, twice, thrice…
A long table party, others can sit on a mat
While enjoying somtum scrumptiously hot!

Please watch the video on YT on how to make super delicious Thai Somtum

Dusty Swirlwind

Serenity reigned all afternoon,
no clouds blocking the face of the sun...
I napped well on a soft sand dune.


The seagulls scattered the salty and wet sand,
looking for dead fish...they ate all the shrimps
that I caught hours before the breeze turned to wind.


" *East of midnight", the silvery sky changed to gray,
I looked up and frowned, " It's time to head for the boardwalk."
Gulls picked up my blanket which floated over Mary.


The rageful gulls became much stronger, I forced my beach hat on and stood still...
fearing that it would it be torn and return to strends of straw,
while trying to withstand the force of the dusty swirlwind with a composed will. 


* " East Of Midnight " is the song title

LAG    LIPSTICK & GUM

Once upon a time
Beneath the amber grain
A lady lives her name is
Lizzy bell
A fast fashion pretty lookin princess
Laced in diamonds and rubies and satin dresses
She's a 128 pound and bench press 308
A slick young lady, who never blind dates
A little slow on reversal, but quick to run
Wat's her name, say her name
 LAG  LIPSTICK & GUM
Lizzy kisses with grit and grace
While chewing gum she kisses barbwire for fun
Lizzy Bell razzle, dazzle champion and quail
Shrimps and giants she's so defiant
Men go one the run
From Lizzy Bell yes they run

The Children of the World Are Born Naked

Historians are mere men.
They sail in the high seas of people
To catch a glimpse at the elusive whale of peace.

Yes, History is not just,
It is the poor outline of the book of Life.

Everyday historians climb their intellectual mountains
And observe their nation like the news chopper over the Brooklyn Bridge,
Down are the flipping pages
Like fresh fish caught from the pond.

The children of the World are born naked,
They will be dressed with the garments of their Culture,
They will be indoctrinated by the idiosyncrasy of their Society
Schooled and fed the yellow marrow of their History,

Except for the marginal and exploited children,
They will be consumed like shrimps in Chinatown.

All the children without exception will be made to choose
Between their consciousness and their Patriotism,
Between Humanity and their religion.

Early, the superimposed mind will be placed
Piece by piece in their initiation ritual,
Crowned with a montage of thoughts,
Others' thoughts.

Premium Member Sweet Shelly

If I could live under the sea
I would marry my sweet  mermaid Shelly
Oh how happy the two of us would be
Swimming forever in the deep blue up to the brimme

The fish would wish they could be us
For we could survive in sea to shore
The world be our oyster overstuff
With pearls her I adore

Sunken treasures of the past
We could explore but ignore
Our love enough for us to last
For free is the sea forever more

Choral gardens rich in life
Colors glow from sunbeams light
Ride the waves no worries or strife
Moonbeams spiral into our night

With a roof of water over our heads
Safe from storms let them blow
Huddle and cuddle in the octopus's bed
Asleep to dreams that flow

The shark's all bite, the whale has tales
The otters play, the crabs are crabby
The dolphins laugh, the old squid smells
The penguins dance, the walrus is flabby

The seals bark, the eels glow
The shrimps are shrimps, the seagull steals
The lobster diets, the seahorse was rode
And the porpoises were all pale

Just a day benaeth a wave
For my Sweet Shelly and me
Happy to be married to a meramid
With baby mermaid soon to be

When he said

The gelatintion of used
 and fry grease waste.
fry your catfish in me
fry your chickens bay-bay
them potatoes fry crisped and all
grease slatting on the wall
shrimps and zuchinni too
baking soda doughnut
fried up too
then when it starts to stink
and the porkchops come out pink
sprinkle in the soldifier hardener
and that old grease
is ready for the trash can
when the potaos won't clear it up
sprinkle the powda and solidfy it up
and dump the grease out there

Paper Buckles 9 - 10

9.
like the light 
like the dark 

yet it is full of the sound of steps 
again it wakes up on the forest-road  

taking leave from the yellow construction 
all the sound of the bamboo-flute 
sinks today into the green minerals 

it is not moonlight 
on the road it is some north-east sadness 

he who comes admits his body 
with the divine sin 

if you are sorry be water for three days now

through out the day and night 
there is the paraffin of fire-flies 

the blue cough is not from the sky 

it may be some tusu-gaan fly off 
from the chest of the straight-line 
that has been wiped out

10.
i’ve deposited my metallic heart 
to the archaeological-store of the wind 

and i send rolling this bare eyes towards the fog 
frequently

i make the crystal of her hair soft 

i can see those crows 
whose jaws are not closed
 
the colour is also 
as if it were burst into cotton 

can the anchal of danekhali sari swallow the kernel 
and water of the blue tooth-brash after opening its husk 

i say to the head with earnest request 
oh my father keep cool 
and look at the rain-pipe inside which 
there is all the dances of the peacocks

11.
in the dim light 
the predecessors of the dead stars 
tell stories 

this dhaba 
is beside the long bus-root 

yet it is still not satisfied 
with the shrimps
 
the tail of the black drongo 
hanging from the farakka bridge 
is divided 

towards the ganga 
towards the padma 

the gramophone of the mid-noon 
continues to sound at the midnight 

those who are doing pilgrimage 
on the back of tigers

within the lighting zone of their torch 
all the nearest of men who get lost 
cover their faces
 
you know very well that the memory-gland of the wind 
becomes how much river-minded when it walks through the fire
