Poem
Dream Of Spices
My mother would say:
“Little boy Raj…
Go to Muthu’s
and get some
cinnamon, betel leaves
and ginger and garlic.”
And so I go to the shops
singing all the way
and when Muthu asks me
what I’d want
I rattle off a list:
“Sesame seeds, onions
tomatoes and pickles”
And back home,
Mother twists my ears
Ouch!
Raj Arumugam
GLOSSARY
Cinnamon – the bark of a tree that gives a delicious
flavor to food
Garlic - a small
bulb with a taste used in cooking
Rattle off - recite
Sesame seeds- gingelly seeds
Ouch- sound that expresses pain
