It makes me feel queer

But not homosexual

Women

Women

They`re not men

Poetry

Poetry might be pretentious shite

But then, it might not

Snoopy #10:

Who gave you the right to ask samina for an explanation for her likes and dislikes? Aap unki phoopi kay puttar hein? Hein bhi to who cares! Quit acting like the dumbo you labeled yourself. Be nice.

Ugh, lately I`ve been telling too many ppl. to be nice. :( What a headache.

LOL...

Zinnia,

MMMMMMMMM good.

It is very important to note that if this stuff is called Haiku the value of acceptace soars on the Naikii index.

If same stuff is called a cee-harfee(faarsee) then the intellectual foreplay gets ruined.

If it is called tappa(?) ``Chitta kukr banairay tey``(example) then the cultural orgasm somehow disappears in a slimy abyss.

Rubaayees,Chaupaees,dohaas are never written in the english language.The reason is very simple.They work like lemon and tarts on a drunkard & like cold-water sprayed on an afeemee(opium-eater).

In order to increase ones` competence & comprehension of the masters` lingo one MUST never eat paan(gum definitely helps),admit love for Islam(kanjar attire helps),Act Phorren(thanks urstruly---yes helps),Visit India & Pakistan and get over-awed by the exoticness.

You see how easy it is to master this language?Those who graduated from Osmania Urdu University in the english language;never went to Phorren school;are working in top editorial board positions with the best phorren newspapers the world over,talk with Indian/Pakistani ``accent`` & are damn proud of it,are held in awe by those who matter,eat paan wear kurtaa,look maulvi like-----No No No you do not understand! they are not what the kanjars are.It is different,unexplainable,but different.

After reading Urstruly`s interpretation of the first one, they all suddenly made sense to me.

The last one is particularly erotic.

Go figure.

No I really truly didn`t understand `this` poetry and read my lips-I didn`t say `this kind of poetry`. And I see, on this board, that I am not the only disappointment.

I would have asked you to explain to us what you have understood but I can bet my ass that you will play ``emperor is naked`` tricks with us-(given the history and style of your interactions).

Molko #17,

no actually i just pretended to like it so you wouldn`t yell at me for expressing my disdain for cryptic poetry again... ;)

Snoopy---#7

Please do not be so demanding.

There was an Pakistanee Urdu movie where Rangeela(the great comedian) gets sandwiched in a discussion between two scholarly types.The argument started warming up.When one guy finishes,Rangeela authoritatively agrees with him & says ``You are absolutely right`` & does the same to the other side as well.Both get the impression that Rangeela fully comprehends what they are talking about----until!

You can guess the rest.

PS:Some convent/mission type Pakees buy books with covers matching their bedroom curtains.It take all kinds to make the mare go.

Snoopy

Sometimes I read posts that are so clueless that I am convinced that they have been written by the hydra. Yours falls into that category. therefore, I will not be wasting my time.

Urstruly

I generally stay away from work I cannot contribute meaningfully to. Its a shame that you don`t have the courage, intellect or spirit to tolerate forms of writing that do not correspond to your own personal tastes. Yet another disappointment...

Scout - can it be? We both liked the same poem!

There`s hope for you yet.

i actually understood the middle one, must be my lucky day

short poems are good.

Welcome to Chowk Zinnia:

These were well-written; enjoyed ``Morning`` and ``Ripe.`` I think for the next time, maybe you need to add more space between the different pieces, will improve the layout of your works.

Regards,

Kiran

Urstruly Reply #: 12

wow, good going urstruly. i dont even understand that one! ahhh... everything thing is not for everyone.

Dear Zinnia and other poetry lovers:

Plz forgive my uncouth comment but imagine my frustration that I could only understand one out of three Haikus i.e. ``Morning``.

The ``Ripe`` reminds me of a recently shown Madhhuri Dixit movie on Z, titled ``Koyla`` in which she played a village girl in her early teens, with a pot belly and very aggressive breasts.

The ``Fantasy`` makes me queasy, I dont know why?

I must apologize again but that is how I feel most of the time when I read poetry at Chowk. May be I am poetry impaired but then again I understand everything that Zehra Rizvi writes.
