Her work has been featured in many literary platforms, journals, and magazines, and she continues to inspire and uplift those around her with her creativity and compassion.

One of Madame Somdatta Mitra's literary obra maestra is the poem entitled " Indian Dancers ". This poem is a tribute to Poetess Sarojini Naidu.

"My inspiration has always been " THE NIGHTINGALE OF INDIA " , Sarojini Naidu, whose poems have imbued great enthusiasm in me to write poetry. Her fearless and undaunted courage has given me a resonance of a woman 's empowerment. She is an edifice in my life who always motivates me. The more I read her poems, I'm immersed into a paradise of poetry." - Somdatta Mitra

"Versatile Indian Dancers"  

Somdatta Mitra 

Versatile Indian dancers propense to beguile ,

Wearing silk sarees like barbets in a brine. 

In a bevy with bated breath , 

They synchronised the body gestures being adherent. 

Unabashed to express the umbrage with eyes ,

Their enigma in various gestures were so divine.

Their neat plait with flowers spelled a conjuration ,

Their golden armlet spawned adulation. 

With the netti chutti studded with kundan allure with admiration, 

Their subtle smiles augmented a spectacular interpretation.

Of folk tales and traditional life style ,

Of fables and ancient history.

 

The citation of exemplary courage ,

Of kings and the demons's repugnant scourge.  

With magnificent expressions they astounded the gallery ,

Like the killocks their firm faith abated complimenting their steps.

Their oblivious smiles have the semblance of an opium ,

As they signified a magical fragrance of mystifying rose.

Their florid cheeks and glorified expressions appealed ,

The ornaments that shone over their voluptuous bosom.

Connoting emotions of despair and melancholy ,

Bouncing and prancing with expert finesse.

They sensitized with a striking agglomeration ,

Their gentle rhythms and tender feet.
