Flower Which Has No Pleasant Scent Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Flower Which Has No Pleasant Scent

Rating: 5.0


A learned person
who is not capable of expressing

- (what he has learnt
and what he likes to say) -

effectively and efficiently in such a way
that the listeners can understand fully

is equal to a full bloomed beautiful flower
which has no pleasant scent and flavour
to spread in the atmosphere.
