Short Neem Poems

Ananas ka juice nikalo
Thora bahar thora dalo
Tuitty fruitty flavour vala
Sundar jaisay dodh obala
Neem garam kosa kosa
High value cocktail mimosa.....

Like the pure pink feet
of a new born baby that
never touched the ground
are tender red leaves of neem
painting the air with their blush

You heard Nature reviled here
But Neem Tree gave life

Chicken Little, who comes in nights --

HUGS

The day after the Tsunami hugged the shores,
by a penitent ocean lying low,
in the beach  which lay mauled and scarred,
an old woman and a girl stood homeless and hugging 
and not far away
a  bower lay  crumpled, within which
but stood tall as always  the two-some  
of a neem and a banyan in an unshakeable hug.

She wrote Bits N Bots
A terrific, prescient poem
I suffer bots, bots, ads, and data thieves
(We all might be the last)
But she came with bouquet of words
To the funeral of my tree
There were only four attending:
My wife, myself, one neighbor, & Linda
Social media, life, friends keep us busy
I understand
Not everyone can come to 
Unusual
Funerals
Still ...  do think of our environment
Always...

When Corona came, I was on Reunion Island
Indian Ocean environs, nearer native South Africa ...
Transplanted, I have planted a garden, thrived

Without any research, butternuts survived
But in my pot and that of a friend's -
We grew Mint, Coriander, Hot Peppers, Lentils

The last was a challenge: to clean off the chaff
Transplanted, I planted again in Africa
Marigolds, Neem, Geranium, even white Lilies...

Round round tap tap clap clap clap onwards chant. Tyrannical faith, get drenched in flow, outpour downpour core directed circular drainage.

BIRD OF PASSAGE

Here comes him,
From the mountain and hills descends him,
Singing the melodies of the hymn,
In his hand a tonic made from neem,
His staff made from tree's limb.


As he travels without destination,
Good life and hope are his imaginations,
Sun,moon and stars were his companions,
His legs were never weary,
Neither did his back  fatigued,
Till he journed till the end of the world,
For he was a liberal soul....

A man is at his ugly best
when he recovers from night rest
Look at that man
perhaps the resting sun
dwelt on his chest
the rays carried torments of the morrow 
of the hectic routine he would follow 

Throughout the night
he wore his eyes tight without their lid
Today He's after the man
who lured him to fell
the fruitful neem
that harbored his dream
by his numb thumb
he did succumb 
should he get him 
he'd lynch him with a deadly rage of hell...
