Shankaran Kutty Poems

(this is purely a work of fiction. I am such a lover of dogs, I would never ever do this in reality.)

It was a quiet and hot Sunday noon
When I thought I will take some rest
...

You can take away all my freedom
Or confine me in chains
You can sentence me to boredom
But my mind would always be free
...

Twelve days of war had by then gone by
Thousands dead on the battlefield did lie
With Drona as the leader of the clan
The Kauravas hatched an evil plan
...

Battered by the forces of Nature
My Chennai, to your resilience I bow
Your people have so risen in stature
By their compassion, when nature laid them low
...

It was another day for me so boring
A cold winter morn
As a nurse in a far off hospital
My day seemed so forlorn
...

The Idol


A mighty stone edifice
...

I remember as a child I would sit and cry
When math I couldn’t crack however much did I try
When Newton’s laws would stare from the Physics book
I was too scared to even take a look
...

(Karuna is extreme compassion or deep sorrow)

I stood at the beach last morning
The pain inside, growing
...

(Shringara is romance or love. Love that evokes deep emotions or lust)

With a sparkling smile like a dew drop
Glittering in the morning sun
...

(Hasya is used to express joy or mirth.It could be plain joy or laughter or could include teasing or making fun of in a playful way)

My wife does not want a dog
At home or anywhere near
