Coal Need Not Be Proud. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Coal Need Not Be Proud.




I have no fancy for coal
But I have for her hair,
Which is like coal.
I have no fancy for pearl
But I have for her teeth,
Which are like pearls.
I am not crazy about deer
But I have for her shyness.
Which is like deer’s.
They need not be proud
For I like her for them.
