Indian Poetry In English, Not At All Indian English Poetry Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Indian Poetry In English, Not At All Indian English Poetry



Indian poetry in English,
Not by the Englishman,
But by an Indian.

Hamlet,
Paglet,
All writing poetry in English.

Some in the lungi and the vest,
Some in dhoti and kurta,
They are also poets.

Some Biharis taking sattu and litti,
They too poets
And the Englishman asking what these are.

Some Bengalis unable to digest pure milk
As the liver is not in good condition
Mixing water in milk like like Kipling's milkman.

Some Santhals who take dhaman rat's snake
And the wild cats
They too writing poems.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Savita Tyagi 23 December 2014

It is interesting to note on PoemHunter.com there are more Indian poets than English poet. It saddened me a little to see natives not taking enough interest. At the same time I am happy too seeing the excellent poetry put by great number of Indian poets.
