Do not tell me falsely about the poetry practitioners <br />From the northeast of India, <br />The rhymers, non-poets, poetasters and commoners <br />Made poets, <br />Not the poets born. <br /> <br />May I ask you, <br />Where was there like northeastern Indian English poetry, <br />You accept it ther had not been, <br />Had there been any, <br />We would have from Dr.K.R.Iyengar and Dr.V.K.Gokak, <br />But be sure of, <br />There had not been, <br />Had there been, would have heard of definitely, <br />So make you not now <br />To call it northeastern Indian English poetry? <br /> <br />If there we poets, let them be from their local dialects, <br />I ant to hear about the natural <br />Assamese, Karbi, Mizo, Kokborok, <br />Bishnupriya Manipuri, Manipuri, Nagamese poets <br />Rather then the poets made <br />By the novice critics <br />Politicizing it all <br />As for to come into the limelight, <br />To the forefront of literature. <br /> <br />Oh, the little-little English-knowing poets doing politics, <br />The small-small critics doing politics, <br />None of them is established, <br />All just the no-men <br />Staking a claim over authorship, <br />Wanting to come to light!<br /><br />Bijay Kant Dubey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-do-not-want-to-hear-about-northeast-indian-english-verse-practitioners/
