Discovery

M. A. Taher

In the twilight

Of a winter,

His disappointing mind

Could not bear.

Set out for a aimless walk,

To lighten the burdenhawk.

To have a tet-e-tet elsewhere,

Suddenly there

In the parlour

Appeared a deer-eyed

Peerless, meak and mild

With the last sip of tea

Discovered the Solomon's islands

Where in the solitary nature

Beaconed

Lucy of him.

Beware of dogs

M. Shamsul Haque

Hold the dog, it barks to any degree,

When we are on the high way of freedom,

It barks.

When on the way of salvation, it barks,

When on the road to goal we go, it barks.

When I read it barks.

When I write it barks.

When I rise, it barks.

When I ride, it barks.

When I earn, it barks.

When I learn, it barks.

When I sing, it barks.

When I prosper, it barks.

When I shine.

As a star, in the sky

It comes on to bite.

Please hold the dog.

We beg no alms

Oh! hold the dogs.

Three mini poems

Waheed Murad

One

Slept you on the quilt

Beneath the head

Where dreams come down

Lastly to kiss you

Thre's no dream of happiness

In the kingdom of lavishness

The rhinos don't laugh

Even after tickled.

Two

Men fight so much

To conquer death

Death reveals, " I live

In your own dwelling house."

Three

I was absorbed

In tilling that day

Tilling of my mind

As in the woodland

I was startled

With the touch of love

When the string was

Torn from my kite.
