मला मराठी कविता लिहिणेही आवडते... पण

मी मराठीतही कविता लिहितो. विशेषतः मिपावर असताना माझ्या कल्पकशक्तीला प्रोत्साहन मिळते. पण यावेळी नकळतच इंग्रजीत प्रोत्साहन मिळाल्याने ही कविता सादर करतो. (अर्थात, माणूस कितीही कट्टर मराठी असला तरी इतर भाषांनाही महत्त्व द्यावे लागते.)

The Night

‘It Was A Wonderful Night
Which Had A Great Moon Light
That It Even Might
Make A Whole Town Bright’
And On… And On… And On…
It Just Went Through The Tongue
At That Wonderful Sight Of The Night.
I Had Never Felt So Much Excited
Than I Had Felt The Same Night.
The Sky Looked Dark Blue
The Lighten Clouds Gave A Clue
Now Where Was The Moon?
It Came Out Of There Soon.
I Saw The Brighten Sky
And I Wished That I Could Fly
The Air Was Fresh And Dry
Oh! My… My… My…
Suddenly The Sky Started To Weep
When All The Birds Were Preparing To Sleep
It Surprised The Whole Town
The Sky Looked Black, The Land Looked Brown
I Began To Think On What I Had Seen
How Can Be These Skys So Mean?
I Also Started To Weep At The Sight
When I Was To Sleep And Say ‘Good-Night’.

My Mind

I’m Cross With My Mind
That Is Not So Kind
To Let Me Sleep Soon
In The Early Afternoon.
It Thinks Of The Cars
That I Will Buy
It Thinks Of The Stars
That Are Shining In The Sky
But Even Then I
Don’t Know Why
My Mind Doesn’t Let Me
To Just Have My
Wink Of Sleep
Until It Is Five
My Mind Is So Confused
Why It Is Actually Used
It Was So Much Amused
That It Had Me Accused
My Mind Asks Me
How Will Be Rangoon?
How Could I Tell It
When I Was Swelling A Balloon
My Mind Says It Rules Me
But I Think When I Will Be Free
There Will Be No One
Except Me And Me

The Sky

I Saw Some Birds
That Passed Many Words
Behind There Past
As They Were Going So Fast
Opening Their Mouth
They Were Going To The South
Making Some Noises
They Expressed Their Voices
They Experienced The Freedom
Of The Nature’s Kingdom
They Were Free To Fly
In The Open Sky
Hearing Them Sound Melodious
I Was Furious And Jealous.
Why! Why! Why!
Only They Are Able To Fly
And Have Some Fun
In The Fresh And Open Sky.

My Dreams

I Play The Lead Role
In Hollywood Films
I Fly Very High
In My Latest Dreams

I Become A King
And Wear A Crown
I Eat So Many Chocolates
That My Teeth Go Brown

Flying In The Sky
I Touch The Sun
On Just The Thought Of It
I Have So Much Fun

I Fly By The Aero-Plane
Which Belongs To Me
When I Look Down The Aero-Plane
I Find Many Things To See.

I Become A Champion Of Sports
Especially The Football
I Become The Greatest Actor
Working In A Drama Hall

When I Write Such Type Of Poem
I Just Calm Down And Sit
And Now I Must End This Poem
As i’ve Got No Rhyme To It
