Kerala 10 - Kalaripayattu Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon

Kerala 10 - Kalaripayattu

Rating: 5.0


An ancient Kerala martial art form - "Kalaripayattu'
Bow, bend, buckle, in bold, quick move,
Curve, curl, crouch, contort, curtsy in style.
Divert, deflect the opponent to another side,
Flex, fold, attack and defend in swift angle,
Jump, skip, leap, lounge with cautious glide,
Kerala's creative, martial art of international pride!
