Short Cuisines Poems

It is like thousands of novels
that I’ll never read;
cuisines I’ll never enjoy;
people I’ll never meet…..
It measures our lives –
every heartbeat, breathing
and the spaces between…...

"Food is our common ground, a universal experience." - James Beard 

Spice-sweet-sour-salt-starch-blended 
dumplings, like dim sum... 
Fish, meat, or greeneries filled
enzyme-fiber-mixed
nutrient cuisines... 
They thrill my
tongue...

midst chilly weather
walk our little kids barefoot ---
torn clothes mock at us

birds of the air search
beasts of the wild work hard too ---
flora and fauna...?

cuisines varied set
on tables of the wealthy ---
the poor salivate

We two Indians went to the hotel Storartad Sweden
                   And ate lots of Munkers , Æbleskiver and Poffertjespan
                      Coming back home we landed well on a chapatti
                           Kuzhi paniyaram Daal Sabji Bhaji and Roti
                And a Japanese Takoyaki   all they are love cuisines man...

Imagine

Yellow socks tambourines pretty girls and fax machines
Sunshine waves Heinz baked beans and black tinted windowed limousines 
Garbage anarchy wasps that sting and red currant jam potting magazines
Madness purity wedding rings and watching Mary Berry’s tips on the finest 
cuisines
Ice cubes tweed ping pong pings and the gold dust of a magic monkey blowing 
over your sleeping dreams...

When I joined poetry soup, 
I thought to find free daily soup 
From different world junior and senior poets.
By my surprise I found best quality cooked foods, 
Which I could eat without knowing their ingredients 
That pushed me to concentrate in African cuisines
To be sharing different African foods 
With the world poets and others.

I can patch up an injury
Block the loss of blood
I can undergo surgery
I can erase the scars
But my mind’s wounds bleed forever

I may be in good shape
Stretching my body with ease
I may have flexi biceps
Every eye they may please
But my mind’s strength succeeds forever

I may feast at banquets
Pick the finest cuisines
Sway at a music fest
Have joyous recreation
But my mind’s hunger is feeds forever...

Be what the ingredients
My favourite dish all it is
Made by my life angel
Mother she knows it all

The special seasoning 
Makes all always special
I call them the best dish
No prejudice with names

Miss it these days so much
Love seems missing in life
My favourite dish by “Favourite”
All through even after life

Served with unbounded care
Surpassing all the cuisines
It’s the touch creating wonder
O' Mother thou know it all...

"I am not an Athenian or a Greek,
but a citizen of the world" - Socrates. 


Irish and Scottish instrumental music
is one of my favorite.

I have a weakness for oriental cuisines.

I am a fan of Greek and Hindu mythologies.

Most of my neighbors are Arabic.

The library I attend belongs to a Native American.

I am an African who speaks English language.

Different cultures and races color my life!

I am a citizen of the world....

Versatile being this dish maker
With his peculiar style as a baker
Baking many a cake delicious

Worships his job sweet sugary
A master chef with attitude cool

KITCHEN NECTAR

How sweet the walls must taste
when cuisines and anvils fuse about the place
and spices unite from every orient
How beautiful the arc must be
between the vulcan chefs
when spoons and hammers vulcanize
above the temple floor
How enhancing is a sight
when once invention comes
and swinging doors emit a sound
like some nebulous light
Could cohesion cause a glow?
Revelry and invention could you know
Or is it spoons arcing in the air
to weld a plate below...

A blessed soil which perspires cashews and coughs out black pepper,
its global banner of rice is raised so high
which is only beaten by one.
Specializing in the juices of the commonest limbless reptile
with cuisines highly recommended by the parliaments of health.

From dragons to birds;
the turtle to the horse;
the minds of its people have well been bonded to these,
making historians marvel at which exactly
helped in denting the American military pride.
