Look, the golden plate is ready set
On the round table for breakfast.
Glitters reflecting tinges of my blood
In tune with the table of mud
With the green meadow streaking to fret.
Listen, worshiping Aurora at dawn daily
Comes to me that golden plate by priority.
The green paddy rooted in deep water
Fans soothingly with its ricy flavour.
Feel, it makes golden plate more catchy.
I cook the rice to petal soft
Adding ghee and jaggery enough to taste.
I resolve with my prayers in bundle
To offer the made rice i.e 'pongal'
To the above deity of splendid light.
On the muddy table, over the glisten
Placed a plantain leaf, served on
The pongal.I then whisper'my sun,
Enlightened by the plate of your glisten'!
A wonderful poem.....loved it. Top score and to my favourite
The offer to pongal has been so attractively portrayed here. The concluding three lines say much about it. It is a beautiful poem on nature and social affairs. Well done.
Great devotion. Man breathes in breathes out in belief. The Asthiks and the Nasthiks both. Liked the way you offered your Pongal to the deity of your worship. Good poem 10+
