Hyde Park by Ali Znaidi
Hyde Park
For London Miss
Olympia 2012
There is a place called Hyde Park.
You just stand on
a chair,
and give free rein
to your emotions,
thoughts,
& ideas.
Your words just
drop like rain.
You can talk
either you are wise
or sane.
No one would block
the flow of your speech
till you drain.
I love Hyde Park,
& so do birds
because it is
replete
with freedom grains—
vitamin pills,
invigorating their fluttering
wings.

London Lights by Ali Znaidi
London Lights
For London Miss
Olympia 2012
Though it is called the city of fog,
& though most of the time black bleak clouds
are blankets for her bedroom skies,
London is always a source of light.
Lingering lights that never dwindle,
the way fine lustrous alabaster
always radiates from Aphrodite’s body.
Mysterious lights go cosmic
when reflected in her bedroom Eyes.
The full moon seems so rich
when entombed in the Thames river,
so crystalline & sleeky—
a panacea for weary souls.
Radiance and glow mingle.
London lights are rare to find.
They dazzle your eyes,
& quell the hunger
of your heart, spirit and mind.
Even the blind would thank God
for not going astray
because London lights are such
a tender guide—
an onyx rainbow watching over
the city of fog,
creating cascades of fathomless/ endless
lumonisity:

Australian Horoscope by Ali Znaidi
Australian
Horoscope
The Magpie,
March 21-April 20
The sun will return and engulf your realm with sublime
lights.
You have to seize the opportunity and capture the
cherry blossom
before the return of the owl. The sun will make you amaze
people
with enigma and light.
The Kookaburras,
April 21-May 21
The leaves of the tree woman begin to fall. That is a
bad omen.
But if you are brave enough, you can bring luck
through chasing
the sunrise in Antarctica.
The Bowerbird,
May 22-June 21
You can’t imagine how mysterious your life would be
if you dwell in the cave for a period of time just to
ponder.
And if you like to cast a spell on the opposite sex,
just forget
about decorating your bower because simplicity has its
enigma, too.
The Rainbow
Lorikeet, June 22-July 22
Just keep looking at the horizons because your luck
is buried in a little cloud that is hiding behind the
rainbow.
The day you will shoot that cloud with your arrow,
the rain will fall and fill in your empty buckets with
water of luck.
The Kangaroo,
July 23-August 23
Your heart is telling you to stand just in the middle
and watch.
But your fate is going to be hit by a beefy brawny
buffalo if you don’t move.
If you find it difficult to move, just begin with
trivial things.
Try to change your pillow. Maybe, a new pillow can
make your life start afresh.
The Rabbit,
August 24-September 22
Don’t drink water all day not just to experience
thirst,
but also to remember that your life is inundated with
water.
So if you like your life to be always fertile just
don’t deny the water
and grow a rose in the desert to poison any daring
snake.
The Koala,
September 23-October 23
The crow is coming again cawing to encumber your weary
soul.
So just follow that flock of sparrows and listen to their
songs—
a panacea for all your aches.
Music will fill your termite-infested room with fresh
air.
The Emu, October
24- November 22
Never lock your horse in the stable. Just saddle it
and start out
trying to surpass the howling wind. When rekindled, your
innate power
can grow olive trees in the North Pole.
The Crocodile,
November 23-December 21
If you start eating a pizza, just finish it all.
Nothing can infest your life but those crocodile
tears.
Don’t play the role of the victim.
You shall overcome all obstacles, if you don’t throw
half of your pizza in the dustbin.
The Turtle,
December 22-January 20
Some people with prosthetic limbs did cage the dragon.
So just uncage fear from your heart,
and don’t forget that Venus is watching over you
on top of your shell.
The Eucalyptus,
January 21-February 18
Welcome to the wilderness!
Finally, you are going to learn how to sleep
without blankets next to thousands of scorpions.
The Redback
Spider, February 19-March 20
If you don’t know the goat’s monologues in the
haunted cave, you are missing out like a crazy.
What you need is some strangeness to spice up
the emptiness of your life.
