Poem by Dr. Shreedhar Prasad Lohani
Passage
By Dr. Shreedhar Prasad Lohani
The night split by light
Surged back with brutal force;
A blue sheet intermittently
Revealed an ancient tower-
Dracula came back alive;
In the orange flash
The howl was monotonous;
Trough the iron bars
The blackness crept back and forth
And I watched bewitched with vacuity.
The dawn in gray
Passive and static
Revealed a concrete structure
With TV antennas jutting out in space;
A sparrow perched
On the high tension line
For a minute and then flew away;
A pile of blue hills stood somberly;
Dracula died once more
And I watched disillusioned with vacuity.

Truely, this was the first poem I have read from Dr. Shreedhar Lohani. May be it's my bad luck but I didn't like it all. Though it has some gothic imagery, some wit and some symbolism, didn't feel like i was reading a poem.
