Roychowdhury writes from life in pithy language, in both metrical and non-metrical verse.
In his poems, he often explores the highs and lows of life, the aftermath of partition of Bengal, the struggle of refugee-life, love for native language and the suffering of his fellow people.
His recent book of verse, Jashor Roder Gaachh (Trees Either Side of Jessore Road), laments the felling of trees, pollution, and destruction due to selfishness and greed.
He uses 'the speech of ordinary men' but his metaphors casts a haunting effect on the readers.
He writes in all types of poetic forms, including payar, a metrical form popular in medieval Bengali literature.
Earlier in his poetic journey he was influenced by the eminent Bengali poets of 1970s such as Joy Goswami, Shyamal Kanti Das, Mridul Dasgupta, and Nirmal Halder.
