Indira Renganathan Poems

When the thunder bolts boom
With electrifying signal
Frightened
She hugs her lover
...

A sickle moon can not teach you
How to rip apart the cloud-curtain
Nor can sheteach you
How to sail through space
...

Beaten to golden glisten by the sun
He can sheenmoonlit too well in the night
What if a small stone just rolls away from the sun
Shelters itself shady under the biggie's might
...

Neither a vegetarian nor a non-vegetarian
Ye but the empyrean Eternal
Who can seize and store ye inside his mortal being
To proclaim to be alive immortal
...

Moon is sizzling
Through the coconut fronds

I'm not a monkey
...

A three year old
Scents his dad's deed well

When the little boy cries aloud
...

Once a village was hit by drought
Rain failed and cultivation failed
People had to move out from there
Evacuating the village
...

Any academic highbrow
A poet can easily be?
Nor a poet can easily be
An illiterate lowbrow?

He came..dressed so fresh
In green and blue..so catchy
A bouquet of roses...andjasmine
That conveyed perfumed love in multiples
