Short Verses

by Seshu Chamarty

at McDonald's
the spider stops web making...
O, fast food effect

man walking the dog...
their shadows
talking the walk

new moon...
real bonus
her toothy smile

TV in kitchen...
parliament news alive
adjourns dinner

memories;
from the family album...
old leaves smell spring

at the cafe
seeing is not believing—
caffeine-free ice cream

after countless links
the hand becomes an arrow—
curse PC cursor

city gutters...
monsoon overflows
civic apathy

the maid denies
she stole the toothpicks
replaced after use

head over heels
got my hair back...
many summers later

Once I had some whiskey,
And boasted to friends it was risky;
They came in a group,
And drank it like soup...
Tottered like lambs very frisky.
