Indira Renganathan Poems

She is like the moon
Always bright and smiling
Wherever she is she plashes
Silvery flashes all around
...

Grandma wantedto sleep on the swing
Her son said "no, you'll fall from the swing"
So grandma didn't sleep there
But her son didsleep there
...

He-'Beauty is what? isn't that you
Like the lordly moon of the sky
Amidst the playing clouds...
I'm a cloud'
...

I am the happiest woman
I'm the only happy woman

Mother's crying, sister's crying
...

Ere the street retired it came at night
From a roof top ready to alight
All screamed "python, python"
A while later wasn't seen
...

When the eastern blaze sets in the west
And the silver moon rises the best
I open up in all lovely white
At the sight of my love above bright
...

"What fun do they find in us to laugh? "
"Yeah, are we so funny thatthey laugh? "
"Perhaps we're ugly too"
"Ah, quite possible too"

With him were Robert, Ram and Rahim
All saw the same bright light
All felt the same sight bright
