Bijay Kant Dubey Today Poems

Ladies and gentlemen dance you, here dance I,
Even not,
Shake your legs,
Today's world,
...

They wanting freedom,
Demonstrating,
Protesting
...

They know it well
As how to highlight their own poetry,
Not the poetry of others
And even if they,
...

After having signed, I thinking within myself,
What sort of artist am I,
How have I been gifted with
...

Am here today,
Tomorrow may not be,
This is my life,
Today am here,
...

Today dogs seem to be the king of the forest
As can be seen straying into fearlessly
More dangerous than jackals
Who now leaving thinner forests
...

I can understand why you are sad today,
I can understand,
Why you are sad today,
I can,
...

The Hamas,
The Hezbollah,
The Huthi
And the Israeli forces fighting,
...

Jayanta Mahapatra, today is rathyatra,
I can see the ratha being pulled,
The wooden chariot with the puppet-like deities
Jagannatha, Balabhadra and Subhadra sitting upon
...

I wonder to see the hairstyles,
Looking suspectfully and with awe,
A frowning face and with curiosity,
Where this style has been borrowed from,
...

In today's world
There is no talk
Barring that of
Miangiri,
...

The poetry of today, the Indian English poetry of today,
Talk I, discuss I,
The poetry of the poets not,
Poetrywallahs,
...

Today is the 31st of December
Year-ending,
The year ending,
Coming to a close,
...

The poetry of today
Not by the masters
But by the practitioners
Smacking of self-praise and mutual admiration,
...

The beloveds and secret loves
Of the established publishers and the poets
Are the upcoming poetesses of today
As the beauty queens and glam girls
...

Had not been a shayar before today,
But became after seeing you
A shayar
And now you coming to me as shayari,
...

Aaj,
Aaj mere dil mein
Kya hain,
Tu kaho to mein bata dun,
...

As most of the senior teachers,
The white-haired have retired
And apart from it, there had been a long-time standing vacancy
Which could not fulfilled,
...

Today am,
Tomorrow I may not.

Just today you are seeing me,
...

Today's is a world of rhymers, poetastsers and petty poets,
Commoners and non-poets
Calling themselves poets,
Small poets too not,
...

Who has the time to read poetry today,
The poet's poetry?

The poet for poetry
...

Who reads poetry today
The contributing poets or the professional critics?

Poetry written with a good heart or a bad heart,
The heart heavy with, under the load of or just about hollow things?
...

Today I am with you,
Tomorrow may not not be with
As who has seen the coming tomorrow?
...

The goats bleating,
Horses neighing,
Asses braying.

I rocking the bands,
...

It is good to remember Baba Saheb
Who drafted the Constitution of India,
But we should also not forget it
The nobility ofSayjirao Gaekwad III of Vadodara,
...

Today, yesterday, tomorrow,
What it spent, yesterday,
What it is going with along, today
And what it to come, tomorrow
...

Today's terrorists are
But bigots and zealots,
Religiously blind people,
Reasonably dead,
...

Aaj ki kavita
Kavita nahi,
Akavita,
Kukavita.
...

Gandi, gandi baat not,
Daru, daru baat,
The song of today,
Pop Punjabi Bhangra,
...

What does my heart say to,
What does my mind
Speak to,
I want to,
...

Today the rhymers,
Poetasters,
Commoners,
Non-poets
...

Today you will find poets,
But poerywallahs
Those who are small journal editors
Keep pressuring to call them poets
...

There were no takers of Indian English poetry
As for Ph.Ds.,
The so-called modern poets and poetesses
Were nowhere,
...

Poetrywallahs
Be they edit journals
Or publish the booklets of verse
Are but the tag men, staple men
...

Today's poetry
Is of versifiers, poetasters,
Commoners and non-poets
Calling themselves poets,
...

Frankly speaking, by God,
I went to the seminar
Not to hear her meaningless broken lines,
But to see her bobby-cut face,
...
