There Is A Seminar On Poetry Writing At My College (April Fools' Day) Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

There is a seminar on poetry-writing
And creative impulse at my college
And with this,
Hearing it,
They started coming in droves
To enquire about
The commotion that struck the on-takers,
The poets and critics in fervour
Expressed their desire
Of participating
In the seminar.


But having marked them burning with poetical fire,
I asked them to be impatient
Telling about prank
On April Fools' Day,
Begging pardon,
Seeking an apology from the passionate fellows,
Sentimental and sensitive enough
To be dealt with,
Venting their ire on
Just like a downpour of water not,
But the cloudburst of anger
Directed against me.
