The astrologer a babaji,
An Indian babaji,
Dressed in red or red,
Dhoti and kurta
...
In the theatre of the absurd,
Felt I,
Life is absurd,
We are here for nothing,
...
Colonial or post-colonial
Is not the thing that discuss I,
Debate I,
What it was colonial let it be,
...
Today's story of Indian English poetry
Is different
As the blondes and beauties
Making a way
...
They say it,
Poetry declined with the faith on the wane,
Raked by doubts and inner conflicts,
The tension between faith and doubt,
...
Say you, love me, love me,
You love me,
Just love me,
O, say you, say you
...
Jayanta Mahapatra as a poet of silence,
The morning sea of silence
Breaking into ripples of music,
Th lotus blooming
...
My God, the blunder of being a poet,
You make me not a poet again, if this be,
Putting aside everything, see me, how mad am I
After becoming a poet,
...
What is poetry? What are you writing now?
Poetry is poetry,
What take you for,
What am I,
...
Yea, the hilly river,
Flowing smoothly just with a little water
With the stone boulders
...
