The Husband Nods His Head Affirmatively! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Husband Nods His Head Affirmatively!



By day and night, throughout all the day,
the husband crossing his legs one over the other,

his eyes fixed to the laptop computer,
if the wife swirling her tongue in her own way

in all the four cardinal directions
and showers not-to-be heard scolding words,

the husband nods his head affirmatively
and says 'yes! yes! you are right'!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hi,
This poem 'The husband nods his head affirmatively! ' is a translation of a Tamil poem by Poet Venkatachalam Dharmarajan of Tenkasi, Tirunelveli District, Tamil Nadu.

நாளும் பொழுதும் இரவும் பகலும்
காலின் மீது காலினை யிட்டு
கணவன் கண்கள் கணினியில் இருக்க
நாலா திசையும் நாவைச் சுழற்றி
கேளா மொழியில் இல்லாள் வசைகள்
பொழிந்தால் சரியே என்பார். - வெங்கடாசலம் தர்மராஜன்
