Shankaran Kutty Poems

Why do my poems always sing
Tales of loss, sadness and woe
Of selfish folks and the tears they bring
I have asked myself, yet I do not know
...

I asked the Lord in my dreams one night
“When in your presence I find peace
Why do you drag me through this plight
Would my worries ever cease
...

Come hither children and I will tell you
Something from the past, so fun
A story that is so refreshingly new
Come, and I will tell every one
...

It lashes across the Kerala coast
The heaviest rains the nation can boast
Bursting promptly on the first of June
Behold! It is the Kerala Monsoon
...

Tall buildings line the distant horizon
Coconut trees sway as far as I can see
Squirting red, the setting sun
Shows its brilliance, just for me
...

The old year has gone by in a rush
Herald the New Year, so young and fresh
Forget the people who made you sad
Forget the events which made you feel bad
...

It was a Monday, early in the morn
When buses and vehicles were few
The fastest way to the railway station
Was across the graveyard, I knew
...

One day I was late to school,
All the fault was mine.
I woke up late at 7`o’ clock,
I still thought it was fine.
...

Long time ago, in the corner
Of a large park by a stream
There stood a little neem plant
No one to care for did it seem
...

The Idol


A mighty stone edifice
