Pradip Chattopadhyay Poems

Cuts the midday heat's eerie lull
the knife cutter's call...

from his pedaled wheels
...

slosh slumber river noon
dumber life behind
skim fishing gull's croon
poetry far from mind!
...

Dark night, dumb fright, furry foxes howl
Shy moon, hides soon, barn owls sharply call
In thickets, chirp crickets, mew nervous cats
Above meadows, paint shadows, low flying bats.
...

Spins around my head
Nature’s LED
A firefly,
Hits the fan
...

Eyes wide awake
Mind takes no break
Sleep afar,
Only on show
...

Hide my rhymes,
I am storming
Difficult times!
...

Red to green
Green to red
Whereto
Do I head?
...

She shone in radiant glee
When I brought her a budgie
She said ‘I would make it talk
Teach it words round the clock’.
...

In the sunshine she stood
And then she was gone
Yet she’s there for good
I see her off and on.
...

Monday I swam out of cavern
Tuesday I grew my wing
Wednesday entrenched in tavern
I was jolly perfectly going.
