The Pope,
Pope,
Alexander Pope of
Indian,
Indian English poetry,
Poetry not,
Indian poetry in English
The evolving genre,
Genre of literature,
I mean the Indian,
Indian writers of verse,
Evolving poets,
A study in slender books
And minor voices
Coming of age,
Trying to strengthen
Their stature,
Poetic stature,
I mean
The first book writers
Or with the first on the anvil,
Trying to grow,
Coming of age,
A journey from imitation
To maturity,
Parody, borrowings and influences
To be cast off.
God, God, give me,
Give me the strength,
Strength
To criticize,
Criticize them
I mean the evolving poets,
Poets
Of the virgin field of literature
Calling themselves
Milton, Keats, Byron,
Coleridge, Herrick,
Herrick and Eliot!
