*907 Stay As Sweet As You Are (Ghazal)
Excuse me asking - 'Does he take - Sugar? '
'Would he like on lump or two of - Sugar? '
Cornflakes? I'm afraid we're out of Sugar
The ration? Just two ounzes of Sugar.
To make the medicine go down - Sugar
To coat a very bitter pill - Sugar
A simple disaccharide - that's Sugar
Are All Poets Mad?
Are all poets mad?
That's the question, to be had
Maybe posed by Shakespeare (As well he might
in Winter's Night.)
But Robert Burton had the answer.
Yes, they are for certain.
And all others who inhibit this sphere
Are mad as well It's clear.
Damascus
Peace from the northern wind that swept across Barada River.
As long as that wind sweeps, tears would be everlasting upon Damascus.
I excuse from all pens and rhymes if couldn't express the matter.
About its disaster catastrophic events, the pen couldn't describe.
Its reminiscence on my heart still is glimpsing.
My heart palpates and never can forget it.
The catastrophic event you complain and suffer.
Resulted into, the pain of my heart on its deep wound.
I inter Damascus when the dusk overlaps.

From tomorrow on,
I will be a happy man;
Grooming, chopping,
and traveling all over the world.
From tomorrow on,
I will care foodstuff and vegetable,

Dubai - A City Of Humanity In Unity!
As I walked, everywhere
I saw labourers atop some buildings with safety helmets
I saw them working at construction sites with diligence.
I saw unity in humanity.
As I walked, everywhere
I saw people of many nationalities rushing to workplaces
I saw them standing anxiously at the traffic signals
I saw unity in humanity.
Hunger Waltz
In 1868 the famous Austrian musician
Johann Strauss II composed the "Tales
from the Vienna Woods", Opus 325,
one of his six ingratiating waltzes.
A sublime musical triumph, it became
an inseparable part of the pleasures of
life in the joyous and romantic Austrian
capital.
However, as far as I am concerned,
Ode To The Oysters Of Apalachicola
These ugly looking lumps of calcium carbonate,
Unlike their cousins that collectors take.
Have a name known far and wide
As Apalach Oysters. ‘Tis said with pride.
No other Oysters hold a candle,
To those grown in Florida's panhandle.
The Bay's are large ‘n sweet;
Known at the Bar as Nature's treat.
Perfidy
Perfidy is a fly
That simulates salmonella
Landing lazily on a stinking sty like a tragedy
With neither parachute nor umbrella
Contaminating any foodstuff
Its feet touch from any hair branches as its tentacles
Release bacilli with enough
Virulence in circles
The Irony Of Life And A Little More
A line of ants laden with foodstuff moves in
Another line of their brethren comes from the opposite direction
And the latter move sideways and give way to the former!
They have a small world of great deeds!
An old man struggles to stand in a crowded bus
And near him a youngster sits with a smile and looks through the panes
A civilization moves at a speed of its own
As age factor has no buyers over here.
The Halted Passenger Train And The Goat Looking Over To
The blackly goat
On the tracks
From this to that one
Marking the passenger
By the foot bridge
Eating the banana
Or some eatable thing
To pick,
The black goat,
The standing halted train

Joy Of Being Here [revised]
A wonderful day with rusks, sugared chocolate, wafers,
passing out repeatedly - yet glorious with life; suddenly
I talk like an organ again, fast and furious, no stopping
for breath - driving like a fiend, swerving right and left
Knowing expensive BMW’s will take flight - music at full
volume in the office to drown interminably loud gurgled
exclamations of my bubbling colleague – and I sang while
entering and leaving the building
Workless Future
Workless Future
We are fast approaching the time when robots
can do 98% of the work, the middle classes will disappear
altogether; and here is where a universal pay will
kick in someone has to buy what robots make.
But if you think you will get a pay packet every month
you are mistaking it will be in the form of stamps you
can use to buy foodstuff and the more expensive things you
buy, the more stamps are used.
The New Societry
A new society
Is Brexit more than Brexit
a dream of going back in time
when everything had a human dimension?
To physically eradicate the royalty
to take back thousands of acres stolen
by the aristocracy.
Leaving the cities as a bird sanctuary
go back to the land, a homestead with
The Pasta Story
Pasta starting in the 1st century AD
Changing its design throughout time
A tradition everyone to later know
Everyone to experience
And around food markets in Italy people see
The different types of pasta for their dinner
But in the far past
Writings of Horace, lagana were fine sheets of fried dough
Which were an everyday foodstuff
Cooks in Italian kitchens
Life Of Grass
Although grass to a handful surfaces vain,
The very being of it,
Mounting all over reminding of equivalence,
Endures constant pain.
Dedicates unselfishly as foodstuff to others,
None ironically cares whatsoever,
We at times laze on the carpet natural,
Tumult of exuberance, through its vein, runs.
An Eagle
I see an eagle through the window there,
That tastes freedom by tearing the current of air,
It is not looking at the sky for sure,
Since there is hardly anything for it to fly for.
It is the earth alone,
That for food it concentrates on,
Like an expert detective,
It is ever vigilant and active.

I was born in a dot
-dot, spot, called: "Iran"
- (some may say: "Persia! ")
To me, as I have seen
-the words are animals
-they live and do evolve.
