Dr.V.K. Kanniappan Poems

Alms! Offer! Donate!
Before someone, poor and needy,
Appears before you to tell his poverty,
If you offer him without asking for identity,
...

If the man and his wife live with understanding
Like gem and its glow, they are considered rich
Even if they suffer from poverty and ill health!
...

Said with praise, conjugal life as cart,
Family life as cargo spread over the cart,
As if two horses tied to the cart,
...

While you are alone; no companion to support,
But you have two enemies to tackle and fight;

Be wise to make friendship with one of the two!
...

Don’t think of enlacing and harming others
Even by chance or mistake in unwary situations!

If so, the God of Justice will encircle
And enlace you more badly! You will be in trouble!
...

There was a powerful and mighty king,
Nannan was his name, he was offering
Without any indifference lots of gifts
To the musicians and various poets!
...

The secretion from the gums of
Sweet and soft spoken loving girl of
Youthful and healthy in nature
Is so sweet and similar to mixing
...

The pupil in the eye
Is considered as youthful girl
In Tamil by word ‘Paavai’

Hence, the lover says,
...

The pleasing words arising from the mouth of the whore
who has the soft shoulders that are suitably beautiful to see,

The toad that is kept as bait for the fish in such a way
...

Since there is one person known as Yama,
The God of death, who has no courtesy
Looking for the persons to be snared and taken away,
You escape from such destiny and live by doing
...
