PRAFULL SHILEDAR Poems
As you were sitting near the window
For the birds arriving from distant country
Your voice gently settled
...
On the ground in front
A heap of children
They writhe
Like the fish caught in net
...
Because I can't cope with the inside
I keeping on escaping outside
I get out from the nose and mouth
...
1.
Books come looking for me
They are longing
To meet me

The Best Poem Of PRAFULL SHILEDAR
A Bird
As you were sitting near the window
For the birds arriving from distant country
Your voice gently settled
On the branch of the tree in front
A bird arrived from the sky
And settled on the same branch
It once again gave back
Your own voice to you
You didn't realize
What had happened
You are singing
Along with the bird
