when it is time …

বিকালে তাদেরই বেসেছি গভীর ভাল
সুদূর প্রভাতে আসে নি হেথায় যারা …

হারিয়ে গেল কোন অজানায়

বন্ধুগুলোর বিন্ নোটিসের হল্লা

তার বদলে বংশধরেরা

জাঁকিয়ে যেদিন ভরল এ মহল্লা

সেদিন থেকেই বুকটা কেমন

করছে দুরু দুরু —

বার্ধক্যের শুরু …

বুড়োরা

August 25, 2019 – 7:56 pm


বুড়োদের মরা ছাড়া নেই আর কোনও কাজ
মনে হয় এরকমই সকলের আন্দাজ
আন্দাজে গলদ আছে অন্তত শ’ আড়াই
বুড়োরা মরছে কীনা বোঝে একা বুড়োরাই।

Inspired by an Ogden Nash idea, though stylistically different.

A crow I’m told’s a smart lil’ creecha

A poem a day
Keeps poetry away.
A poem long
Is love without song.

Gastric Pains

August 10, 2019 – 8:36 pm


Newspapers are known for their crazy newz
Along with garbage and other refewz
Consuming newspapers for breakfests
Invariably causes tummy upfests
But many there are who
Eat more than twenty two
Newspapers every aawa
And suffer ailments seveawa
Their reasons I don’t wish to know I fears
It’s best that I mind my own affears
But I do believe that this wretched earth
Without newspapers will dance in mirth.

For unlike I
It needn’t die.
