Rye On The Ravines By D.H.Kabadi

Rye On The Ravines is a collection of short poems Which saw the light of the day In 1985, A representative work of the poet Based on the three-liners Which he calls them flickers Bu those are haikus indeed. A poet of the under-dogs, the have-nots, The downtrodden and the proletarians, He tells in a humane way The feeling of his heart Without a complaint or bias Or any ism, Leftism or rightism, Criticizing it all in a good spirit of his. Strange words, strange situations And the placement of the persona Under these contexts Take the centrespace of his And he writing the things, Regaling with his thoughts, ideas and images, All about man and his predicament, Cosmic wilderness, The lamps of the sky, Societal depravity and human hunger. A poet stylistic and manneristic, Linguistic and modern, He is humane, liberal and thoughtful, He regales and recreates With his ideas, images and thoughts, Even the serious things, The bare and naked facts And hard realities of life He says them with a smile, Laughing a hearty laugh.
