HARMONY' POEMS BY ZEENAT IQBAL HAKIMJEE, COURTSHIP BETWEEN THE CAT AND THE CROW

COURTSHIP BETWEEN
THE CAT AND THE CROW

My backyard is livened up
By the cat and the crow.
From a distance they for each other
A liking show.
Caw Caw, Meow Meow they hark & howl.
A din enough, to disturb the neighbouring fowl
Both of them perched on the dustbin.
Turn by turn.
Waiting for a morsel, from the kitchen to return.
Up goes the left over meat, in the air,
What ensues would ashame 'The battle for the
chair

HARMONY' POEMS BY ZEENAT IQBAL HAKIMJEE, WHAT’S COOKING

WHAT’S COOKING

la Ra Rum go the prancing, dancing,
Flames of the stove,
Amused by this scenario, is the meat
Being cooked above.
The groin softens to the warmth of the fire,
With the cabbage and potato.
It forms an empire.
The unveiling of the platter,
Reveals, fit for a king, matter.
Copied from television this recipe
Is a treat, When near and dear ones,
Altogether do meet.
