Writers Workshop, Calcutta by P.Lal
Is a factory
Of poets and poetesses,
Commoners, non-poets, poetasters and rhymers
...
In search of life and its meaning,
Where have I come to,
Is poetry the criticism of life,
Poetry for poetry's sake
...
The hollow man,
Modern man hollow man
Hollow and shallow from within,
A puppet puffed in
...
Unknown Citizen, your statue make I
In my poetry,
Makes it and unmakes it
Quite similar and dissimilar,
...
Adil Jussawalla
A poet of Bombay,
Look stranger,
Sea fever,
...
Amit Chaudhary as a poet
Is a modern poet
Of the modern age
Writing in a modern style.
...
It was a beauty,
Beauty
To see the air hostesses
From India and foreign,
...
An Indian maharaja
Viewing a foreigner mannequin
With the folded hands,
Saying,
...
I have made up my mind
For bringing
A cute air hostess
As my love,
...
From dhoti and kurta,
Sari, blouse and petticoat
How did they switch over to
The shirt, pants and handkerchief?
...
