Rajesh Thankappan Poems

A fish had a wish
So he leapt with a twist
Straight out of the river
With a splash and a splatter.
...

I saw the child draw the geographical outline
Of the world with a pencil in her little hand,
Then she proceeded to draw the inner lines
The political boundaries we have etched deep on land.
...

If you can put up a smile
You can definitely plant it on another,
Would that not be a sweet gift
‘O’ my dear brother?
...

The owl was hungry
The night dark and sundry
So he opened his wings
Flew in widening rings,
...

My dreams flowers
In thy sweet bower
In purple, red and blue
In myriad colours and hue.
...

I have a pussy-cat
Who likes to mew
Delightful new songs
And old melodies anew
...

O breeze!
You sing so sweet
In the summer
In the sweltering heat.
...

In slumber my imagination on wavy waters floated
Into deep strange seas it thus drifted,
The childhood photo of mine which on my walls hung
Sensing breath from its frame flung!
...

There is no fun in losing
If sometimes you are not winning,
There is no fun in winning
If sometimes you are not losing.
...

The man who slept
In the freezing ice
Woke up to gift us a smile.
...
