Summer droplets sweating on autumn
Perspiring brother builds his equinox column
Provoked earth invokes southwesterly solemn
For humans ever summer they condemn
Autumn is good barbering the trees
To brown and wither strewn their leaves
On Adiperukku blessed autumn by swelling rivers
Sow to later blossom variable the seeds
Questing along with the fluttering southwesterly
Autumn clinks and clinks bangles genuinely
On Adipooram with all goddesses thoroughly
Marking the goddess of genesis augustly
Autumn is the sacred son of goddess Amma
Holi-dipped on Adi amavasai turns the cause of arcana
Ere monsoon enters into nature's arena
For soothing autumn a continual hosanna
Autumn by women adored and idolized
Around power of Shakti for it is centralised
Women to Varalakshmi while surrendered
Autumn propitiates Avani avittam anew freshened
Autumn marches on showering drizzles
At courtallam with festive hurtles
Then to make for Lord Krishna delicacies
Rushes with Lord Ganesh ingesting dumplings
That the Lords apprise of a purpose
Autumn is obedient with obeisance to the manes
Then busy propitiating Dasara deities
Invokes autumn Shakti for the approaching rains
Autumn marches on showering drizzles At courtallam with festive hurtles Then to make for Lord Krishna delicacies Rushes with Lord Ganesh ingesting dumplings.....beautifully described dear madam. A wonderful poem

This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
the poem tells beautifully how autumn is celebrated in traditional ways in south India, especially in Tamil Nadu...on 'Adi Perukku' day- almost the mid of winter solstice- the south west monsoon will be at its prime making the rivers flow full and powerful...a good poem on seasonal remembrance 10
