Dr.V.K. Kanniappan Poems

1. Saudade - a strong feeling of missing someone you love

Pronunciation: saw•’dah•djee, Origin: Portuguese
...

The suffering from morning sickness,
...The period of tiredness and weakness
Throughout the forty weeks of pregnancy,
...The pain suffered during delivery uneasy

Offering sufficient gifts and promises by words many!

Permitting to admit the fellows earlier separated from thy
...

Everybody cannot be wise all the time!
So to say it is true about two weeks ago
While I attended a get together of doctors
About hundreds in number with family
...

A Scabbard-fish trying to catch
The common snipe bird as such!

An inefficient fellow born in a family rich
...

To be a relative to an illiterate
and be in close association with him,

To beat the strong minded, disciplined,
...

In spite of the rabid dog bites with enlarging anger
and snatches physically on someone's flesh very badly,
There is no one here who snatched that dog

O' chieftain who has the good flourishing country
with the cool mountain from where the waterfalls
flowing like the garland of flowers!
...

It is the dignified quality for the esteemed people
to bear with the unjustifiable and unscrupulous words
said by the people who are not equal to them!
...

O' the chieftain of the cool and reverberating
coastal land surrounded by the sea whereforth the bees
buzz with desire all around the flower buds!
...
