Binoy Barman

If you pull the tail of a dog
You are bit or chased by that
Tit for tat!
...

The drone goes on, ceaseless, careless
Bo…bo…bo…
Thousand of bees sing together
To celebrate the football season
...

Fishes swim merrily in aquarium
My mind swims with them
They give me a lot of pleasure
Each to me a priceless gem.
...

Is it logical to compare an ant and an elephant?
Where is the problem?
The size?
An elephant is so large in slow pace
...

Just a while ago a black cow gave birth to a white calf
Dawn, smooth, soft and balmy
Smile of child bloom in dewdrops
Leaves and grass bathe in the shower
...

What is birth?
To die over and again
Unwelcome fall in mirth.
...

Have you ever seen heavy showers?
Drenched all fields, roads and towers
Air gets opaque with mists and fogs
You phrase it raining cats and dogs
...

People knew the man as strong and bold
Did he fear at all any ferocious beast?
A few days ago he was down with cold
After walking a bit in the morning mist.
...

...

The king did not know what is wrong and right
He ruled the land with a strong sense of might
People had no say no choice
Gagged was everybody’s voice
...

The moon floats dead in the sky
Stars have stopped blinking
Nowhere any shade of light
The night is bright.
...

Walking in Keora forest, she and me
Where's she?
She was here, a while ago
Now she's nowhere.
...

Abdul has habits all so funny
He eats salt mixed with honey

He puts on a lungi and a coat
...

Can you imagine a land
Where a tortoise runs faster than a hare
Gold is cheaper than sand
And to fight lion and tiger a fawn dare?
...

You may be dogged by bad luck
And ultimately go to the dogs
If that animal so bad, why a man
Takes it when he walks and jogs?
...

...

Lying in the petals of silence
Time laughs with all its hypnotic power
And language is born in the vocals of neonate
Swahili, Mandarin or Haitian hour.
...

Plundering riches from the moon
You have furnished your smile
Your eyes dazzle with the rays of sun
You match with only your style.
...

Night sleeps quietly under the coil of dog
Cats and rats have been ever good friends
White moon gives warmth to the naked fog
When the dream of winter leaves ends.
...

It is all meaningless for a tree
To know that one day it will fall
Why does a tree spring from seed
From a little sapling grow so tall?
...
