K. D. Katrak As A Poet Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

It is an omission and error
Of the Indian critics,
Critics not,
But circumstantial surveyors
Turned into,
Upgraded from reviewers and letter collectors
To write about
K.D.Katrak,
The author of
Diversions by the Wayside,1969,
A Journal of the Way,1969,
Underworld,1989

And even P.Lal promoted he,
But left them all
As the load
For someone,
But archives will not
Hear our lame excuses,
K.D.Katrak wrote he
Beautifully
Choosing simple
And meaningful lines,
Full of hale and hearty talks,
Himself a man in advertising.

A poet experimental
With language and theme,
He had been light and casual
And wrote in his own way
Whatever drew his attention,
Took he to
To put on
Simply
Which was but a beauty
Of his writing.
