Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

On a steep track, one has to claim stooping.
On a muddy path, one has to walk balancing.
If it is a rope, one has to move writhing.
The ground is level, where one walks steadily.

Consciousness runs through them over time.
...

In a round pot over her head,
Takes care not to spill water,
While she talks with other women.
...

The foe turned friends
Will become sweet friends.

Women are does, mares and elephants.
Men are hares, bulls and horses.

To fall in love,
Learning about love
Is not necessary.
To write a poem,
...

Nature abhors vacuum.
Neglects caused by ones
Are filled up by some.
Love denied by a man
