Derek Walcott Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Derek Walcott



The Ramleela which he saw
Staged in Couva
Remembered he for long,
The epic fragments and their dramatization,
The folk dramatization of it
In Trinidad and Tobago,
The open theatre
With the common people
Acting as actors
So colourful
Telling of a past
Mythical, mystical, historical,
Episodic, epical, folk and dramatic.
