For God’s Sake, Why did I write this?

| 5 Comments

That sweet aroma of the asafoetida,

I remember the last time I cooked rice,

With those soya chunks,

No oil, but perfect pinch of salt,

Adding some exotic flavor, I used soy sauce,

And then there was that pepperica,

Along with the cumins.

I breathe in the same aroma-

When I’m here trying to write.

The sweet aroma of the words,

I am stringing together forming a poem,

With those comparisons,

No rhyme, but perfect pinch of metaphor,

Adding some exotic flavor, I use the theme food,

And then there is that mildness,

Along with the silly effort.

Ha!

A blogger… hmmm No! A writer…. hmmm maybe! An absurd person.. hmmm(hey that might be right)! But above all this, I am a person…a being… My gender, my nationality, my skin color, my language, my looks.. these things can’t define me.. because I DEFINE MYSELF and I can’t explain it.. In order to know me or rather know bout’ me…you have to be my companion and read and share along with me. Don’t read but view and don’t see but think.. that is all you need to do. thats what i think as per now… i wud try to tell more bout me with the passage of time.

  1. You were making me hungry and I am only on my first cup of coffee, :)
    Have a wonderful day.

  2. The imagery and metaphor here is gorgeous. Poetry both nourishes us and makes us hunger.

Write. Talk. Tell me everything.
