India
Market stalls laden
with history: indigo,

pungent and bright –
jewellery around her neck....

Limerick
I have the ingredients for a funny limerick
You have to use a bit of turmeric
It eases the pain
From a nagging ball ‘n’ chain
Stick her head in it and simmer it...

A Freak Storm
host of clouds
closing from the horizon,
a downpour of rain……………….. imminent
cars floating,
river in the roads……
Hot korma
Turmeric field drowned…….
No curry tonight....

Better Luck Next Thyme
A poet once tried to rhyme “turmeric”:
he ate ten big jars, and then murmured “Ick!”
His taste buds murdered,
poor dear old Bernard
bolted up three flights of stairs to be sick....

Recipe
Combine chicken and yogurt; garlic,
ginger, turmeric, cayenne. Saute mint
and mustard-seed till aromatic and seeds
begin to pop. This from memory,
the cookbook’s lost. You have to intuit
quantities, and what to slice, mince,
chop, or dice. Serve on basmati rice
with cilantro and condiments of choice.
Inhale, close your eyes, taste India....

On a Line
The setting sun, a turmeric coloured sky
Two parallel electrical wires stretching out
Into the horizon
On them sit birds in line, their silhouette’s dark
Still in their connection.
As if someone has placed alphabet’s on a line
To pluck and place in verse or rhyme
And daily at dusk some poet somewhere
Writes a rhyme or a couplet on a line.

Feeling Rough
Feeling Rough
Sore throat, runny nose,
Could be a cold I suppose,
Or could it be influenza?
I think I need a detox cleanser
Turmeric, folic acid, gingko leaf
I'm feeling rough beyond belief
High B.P. and heart attack
Been called a hypochondriac
Gout in toe, earache
I never know what to take
Rheumatism in both knees
That Ibuprofen gel seems to ease
All my ailments could fill a page
My greatest one is called old-age...

A New Beginning
Bright turmeric foliage
Sign of transition in life
Lambent lush turns up after
The hibernation.

Do You See What I See
'When Jupiter aligns with Mars'
all I see are tiny stars
'When the moon is in the Seventh House'
I am in my wife's doghouse
'Harmony and understanding'
My car, my kids be demanding
'Golden living dreams of visions'
What I wear evokes derision
They call this 'The Age of Aquarius'
~ I taste turmeric on asparagus

Lines 1, 3, 5, and 7 are taken from 'The Age
of Aquarius,' a hit song released by 'The
Fifth Dimension' in 1969....
