On 21.5.2017 under the aegis of Bhartiya Yuva Sahityakar Parishad (Indian Youth Literary Council, Patna), a poet-seminar was held in Ramvriksha Benipuri Hindi Library of Bihar Railway Station, in which many dignitaries participated. Among the participating poets, Bhagwati Prasad Dwivedi, Siddheshwar Prasad, Sharad Ranjan Sharad, Shreekant Vyas, Hemant 'Him' and poetess Lata Prashar were prominent.

        Shrikant Vyas, Editor of the 'Mukt Falak' (free sky) monthly magazine, had some of his ghazals, some of whom were lions-

"Getting love the stones also have begun to melting

The rainbow

Look at the strange crush in the world

For the sake of lovers, see how daggers are in action "

       Siddheshwar Prasad has always been in the national level top magazines for decades through his artworks. Being active through 'Awasar Prakashan' (Opportunity Publication) he is also a good poet. Some selected lines of their poems are as follows-

"Unable to lessen it by

Even a minuscule amount

The bite of sin is as it is

Till the last breath" (1)

"Hold hold!

Your sweet poetry!

Lest someone might grab it

From the tip of your pen "(2)

        The only poetess in attendance, Lata Prashar, also recited her poems about the country and society. Some words of the poem 'Grammar of politics' were as follows-

"Know well your leader

Indulged in giving knowledge to all

Some of whom talk about caste

And some are bugged by individualism"

        Poetess read a satirical poem in which satire characters were used while using idioms. See some

"Not knowing something and blaming others

My residence is abroad

Your own hand is Juggernaut

The rest of the world are orphans "

      Poet Hemant 'Him' read a ghazal (poem) and deepened the color of the sensitivity on the floor, the glimpse of which is-

"See, how I gained peace by turning into stone

You too should keep your feelings restrained

Now I am too afraid to fly, you keep my sky

Just give me a little bit of ground to stand upon"

     Then on demand of listeners, 'Him' read a free-style poem, entitled 'Antarim' (interim). Defining the modern life-philosophy of the masses in its final lines, he said,

"Really!

do not you think

That

The whole life

Is just an interim arrangement?"

       Renowned Ghazal writer and poet Sharad Ranjan 'Sharad' presented some of his forceful ghazals -

"Time! Let them rise a little more

I have to see them from my place

Look it by the eyes of a child

Look the life also in this manner "

       Later on, Sharad Ranjan also read some free-style poems, one of which was 'News Game'. His last lines were:

He were as if asking me-

After so many years of practice

Whether you are able to 

Play with the news like us? "

      Bhagwati Prasad Dwivedi while fulfilling the presidential responsibility, made a short comment on poetry-texts recited by all the poets and finally read out his poems. A few lines of poetry highlighting the gap between upper and lower economic classes were as follows-

"You are the lord of 

The height touching the sky

Larger than the country and the world

You are renowned

Illuminating lights

Pearl seeds

We are inferior people. "

         There was a few pieces of Shri Dwivedi's other influential poem-

"One stick of the matchbox

creates huge amount of fire

Similarly with your bright efforts

The lamps of knowledge are illuminated

Inside and outside of the house"

      This program was chaired by famous story writer and poet Bhagwati Prasad Dwivedi. On the conclusion of this meeting conducted by Siddheshwar Prasad, Hemant 'Him' offered vote of thanks.
