Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

Monsoon is free; it strikes every summer.
Trees are free; they blossom every spring.
Animals too are: coitus in oyster period.
Humans: sex is through out

But the Jockey is terribly upset,
When he is removed or shifted from his seat.

My mother was my cynosure.
Then my wife, then my children.
Now at my old age,

A leader enjoys the crowd.
A trader amasses wealth.
An actress gets all the three.

A reject is not the one
Who is rejected in all counts.

At different stages, with different shades,
Responsible for my springs and blossoms.
They remained as blossoms and withered.

Dear, O my dear forever,
I have seen you a portion,
The rest under clouds.
Your face, hair, nape

that I should leave you.

There are you, only you,
who for I long. Tell me,
what is with me wrong?
...

One gets learning by errors.
Are errors the base for wisdom?
