The Young Plant Too Offers Fruits Continuously! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Young Plant Too Offers Fruits Continuously!



O' the girl who wears bangles made of purest gold!
Will there be any son give up doing charity
Thinking that, "O' my father attained extreme poverty
after donating alms to the poor and needy"? Never!

This is similar to the banana tree that stood strongly
Offering fruits constantly with resultant destruction,
But instead the young plant offering fruits continuously,
Not giving up its tradition of yielding fruits permanently!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hi,
This poem 'The young plant too offers fruits continuously! ' is a translation by me of a poem from Tamil literature 'NanneRi'

எந்தைநல் கூர்ந்தான் இரப்பார்க்கீந்(து) என்றவன்
மைந்தர்தம் ஈகை மறுப்பரோ - பைந்தொடீ!
நின்று பயனுதவி நில்லா அரம்பையின்கீழ்க்
கன்று முதவுங் கனி.17 - நன்னெறி
