Dr.V.K. Kanniappan Poems

The fine intelligent people will not use to others,
…the stick which was infected when applied medicine
for somebody's eye;
...

Wealth sufficient for essential needs,
the wife who knows etiquettes,

if you have the above things,
...

…for his rescue is pleasant!

Doing what you should do,

If you heat and liquefy the shell, it remains white as such!

Mean minded persons who don't have true friendship
...

Even by growth and appearance of the trees so tall,
the fruits will never ripen unless the due season occurs;

Likewise, however we try repeatedly, whatsoever,
...
