A dance is a poem
Gestured through
The body language
And its signs and symbols,
...
Is it The Sun Rising of John Donne
Or Love Cycle (A Poem)by Chinua Achebe,
What is it,
A love story
...
Had you been
As such biased and prejudiced,
Partisan and partial
In such a way
...
Mulk Raj Anand,
Say you, how to research you,
A novelist Indian
Whose novels read not the Indians,
...
Those who have just begun to write
Are also calling themselves poets and poetesses
And this embarrasses us most,
Baffles us most.
...
How golden is this country of ours
Where the unknown skies and horizons
Seem to be lurking around
With the light flashing in the morning
...
A girl named Kavita
Standing before me
With a cup of warm coffee
Into her hands
...
Poets, poets,
All poets here,
Indian English poetry,
A study in first poem writers,
...
The world draped in snow,
Snowflakes falling around,
There is chill in the air,
But the flowers in full bloom,
...
The first poem writers of Indian English poetry
They too know it
That they are
Going to end up
...
Mein haath badhata hun
Aur aap rakhi bandh dijiye,
Wah pyaar ka rishta
Jo kabhi nahin tutega.
...
When closed I my eyes
Sitting on the floor
With the hands folded
To the Dark Element
...
Bengali
Papa, Papa, aamake eir maane bolo,
Na-na, bolte parbo naa eikhan,
Keno-keno, Papa,
...
Kavita ki udaan,
Kya kahun iski baat?
Kavitaa kavitaa,
...
Though there is nothing as that
Of the picture of Bhavani
Narrated from the architectural point of view,
The poem recreates the mystical experiences
...
The alphabet of poetry
Know I not,
The alphabet of poetry,
What the alphabet,
...
What is a poem?
A poem is an image in words,
A thought, an idea, a view, an opinion,
A reflection, a discussion
...
I want to write a poem, said she,
Hearing her, said I, write you
Whatever it is in your heart, in your soul,
Say the things of heart and soul and your spirit,
...
Without seeing Kashi,
Hearing the Shiva-lila,
Shiva as sadhaka,
As Maheshwara
...
Printed
And tear-eyed
And spotted,
The beast
...
Spectator
My Lord, You get away, get away
They are coming, coming!
...
After or behind the physics,
What is it,
That I want to know?
What the physics of physics,
...
One dances
To the tune of words
Gestured orally,
Sounds muted in,
...
One midnight
When I opened the door
Found I not my mother
But her asthi-kalasha.
...
A red rose...
Is she a red a rose or a girl,
What is she,
Say you,
...
A Singer of Heart
Am I,
As keep I singing
...
Your smiles....
Want I to sketch, portray,
Your smiles,
Sweet smiles
...
The dark daughter smiling
In the dark hamlets
Oblivious of her nondescript fate,
An untold saga
...
The first poem writers of Indian English verse
Pressurize upon
To call them poets and poetesses
Which but I am opposed to it vehemently,
...
Kissing a girl, a young girl
Did I commit a mistake,
Not a mistake,
But a blunder,
...
The history of Indian English poetry demonstrates it well
The first-poem writers and first-book publishers
Are the poets and poetesses of it
Self-published, self-proclaimed,
...
My love,
My heart,
Where,
Where do you lie in
...
Madam, my poem is
Just a copy of yours,
I mean your lovely face.
...
Terrorist, kyon uzarte ho es tarah
Dusron ki jindgiyan,
Kya miltaa hain tumhe
Dusron ko barbad karke,
...
The first-poem writers too call themselves
Poets and poetesses
Here into the arena
Of Indian English verse,
...
The daughter is dark,
but lovely,
tears are in her eyes,
you do not scold her
...
Will you read my poem,
I am a very small poet,
My poems no great uncommon poems,
But the common ones?
...
Meri Jajbaten
Apni jajbatein ko le sang-sang bas ji raha hun mein,
Wo do lahme,
...
When I see, you come to me as a poem,
All of a sudden i get remembered of
And the things star coming
When I see you, you come to me as a poem,
...
The dark daughter
Sculpted on the walls
Of the terracotta temples
Depict and delineate I
...
Title: 'They Came To See And Liked Me Too. I Shall Go Away Someday.
Oh, Titali, Tikali, You Will Go Away, My Country Love! '
O, I shall go away, I shall go away! ,
