Dr.V.K. Kanniappan Poems

An elephant is controlled
by fastening to a heavy post, (kattuth thaRi) :

The furious cobra is quietened
...

The axle of the cart, loaded
with light-weighted peacock feathers
too, may break if the cart is overloaded.
...

Are you in a hurry
to see my fiancee's face,
She is very fresh and grace;
...

Foetus -
A request to society
Don't abort us in hasty
I will thank you wholeheartedly!
...

When somebody gets up and goes,
…One should not call him loudly from behind,

Should not sneeze, should not ask him
...

Not speaking jealous words
...due to prejudice mentality is very pleasant!

Living as a honest minded person
...

If one person is realizing that his youth period
...as elderly period, it is pleasant!

Listening sweet words that don't cause
...

Questions we ask
are in search of answers, you know!

If the answers arrive for questions,
...

யுத்தம் முடிந்தது! போரிலும் வெற்றி!
தலைக்கு மேலே கூட்டமாகக் காகங்கள்!
அச்சமூட்டுகிற கம்பள விரிப்பாய்ப் பிணங்கள்!
இறப்பைத் தழுவாத வீரர்கள் அரற்றுகிறார்கள்,
...

I am Nivedhitha, a nice girl of six years old;
I have a sister who is ten years old!

Her name is Madhumitha.
