Bluff-Masters As Contemporary Indian English Poets & Poetesses Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Contemporary Indian English poetry is a bluff,
Not a new bluff,
But an old one,
When did the writers bluff it not?

Today they are editing journals to make the people
Call them poets and poetesses,
I men the poetasters, non-poets and commoners,
Rhymers and poetasters.

Many poetasters as university heads promoting their poetry
Through the faculty members and research activities,
I mean selecting the candidates
To do their M.Phils. and Ph.Ds on their poetry.

Many students of these bluff-masters after appreciating
Their masters
Have moved to universities
And have started calling themselves great poets.
