The Best Poem Of Karthika Mukundh

And The Sun Remains

The squirrel was nibbling the sun
The tree was watching.

This is a poem I wrote in 'Tamil', my mother tongue. The word 'sun' in this poem means 'the sun light and the heat produced by sun in the day time'. I found it's the unique word in my mother tongue and we don't know how to translate that exactly with its feel. Let me know if it is correct.

Title: மிச்சமிருக்கிறது சூரியன்

அணில் கொறித்துக் கொண்டிருந்தது
வெயிலை
மரம் பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருந்தது.

Translated by my husband Mukundh Nagarajan.
