Barren Land Poem by Somanathan Iyer

A poem in the first few lines made it a suspense and what was the barren land that going to change and then comes the man with a bag full of grains and thought it for something cultivating in the barren land with certain efforts by the man but then I saw it was attracting birds and squirrels which is out of the imagination of the reader and good idea and imagination of the poet as it made into a suspense which made the poem beautiful. I liked it.

finding meaning in its existence, good writing.

I thought the man must have come with grain to plough and sow the seeds! It seems an ideal place for cultivation with a pond close to it for irrigation! If he had done so, in no time the seeds would have sprouted, leaving it a green stretch! Remaining barren is never welcome! Our lives must be a source of joy or benefit to others! Here the squirrels and birds are benefited and the stretch of land feels a sense of self fulfillment.... A great poem with a nice message!
