The Myth Of Kala Ghoda In Kolatkar's Poetry Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Kala Ghoda is a statue,
A monument
With Edward VII mounted upon
A black horse,
Is a Bombay area
Artistic, commercial,
Busy, official and full of
High, but old buildings
Of the British-time
Telling of architectural grandeur.

Through the myth of Kala Ghoda
Kolatkar says the poetic myth
Of his,
His struggling days
Of as a commercial artist,
His tryst with poesy,
His visits and re-visits
To the area
Where there lie in lodged
Famous complexes and establishments.

A poet from Bombay,
He describes the locale
Of Kala Ghoda area,
Where festivity takes place,
Where it is held the fair,
Where Kala Ghoda Arts Festival takes place,
Where the statue is located
And the day-to-day hectic activity of it
Combined with his life-story.
