The Girls Open Their Doors Routinely To Have A Glimpse Of The King! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Girls Open Their Doors Routinely To Have A Glimpse Of The King!



The Chera king who wears the garland
..made of ‘bees buzzing flowers' and who

has the chariot pulled by strong horses!
..Mothers of the teen aged girls close;
But girls open their doors routinely -

to have a glimpse of the youthful king
..as he goes for city visit and stroll proudly!

- Home door hinges worn out due to friction frequently,
..The main entrance doors too stroll to see him!

Translations always lose something as I get the feeling something here is missing.
