T. Vasudeva Reddy As A Poet Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

To assess him as a poet is to say
He is a latter-day romantic,
A poet Victorian
Rather than colourful and imaginative
He is grief-laden and pensive.

Romanticism fades into the hands of his,
Gets discoloured,
A social and own to realities,
But somewhere his weakness comes to the fore,
Struggle with imagery and thematic grappling.

As a poet, he is a journal poet, has evolved,
Taken time to grow
Rather then being substantial and profound,
Somewhere parodies he the British masters,
The echoes of Shelley and Wordsworth can definitely be heard.
