MALAYSIAN HAIKU/SENRYU ECHOES 559: DAWNED ON DURIANS
price and prize as king
thorny fruits in horny hands
beholders’ senses
when durians fall;
sarongs are all pawned.
lust shadows grow tall;
lights on, they are donned.
over powering
desirous or disgusting
taste is too pungent
craft durian ale
pre-biotic infused beer
offensive let go
when windows are wide opened;
bond of front door is broken.
aphrodisiacs dismiss;
temperance in food is bliss.
Note:
Durian (Malay: duri means thorn; an is suffix) season is on. All the three main races of Malaysia like durian generally. This should be recognized as a “national” fruit. There are no prohibitions, except over consumption. Durian, with high calorie and carbohydrate, is not recommended for diabetes (20% incidence in the nation and is on the rise), but one or two seeds are not harmful at all. It should not be taken with alcohol, even though there is no death-intoxication. The burping and farting are ferocious and embarrassing. The fruit is not allowed in the plane.
All the pictures are copied and pasted from the web.
I have attempted a new style of writing: one or two stanzas of haiku/senryu follow by four lines of free verses with end rhyme, as commentaries.
