THE MIRTH TREE

-
The mirth tree
In mime of laughter
Praises branches
For living so long.

Happy birds
Singing in serenity
Clutches the twigs
To make it's home.

A fruit so ripe
For squirrel so while
Bite its tail
To foresee more.

A trembling lad
With madness he loves
Seeks the tree
To save him from foes.

Thunderous roars - beats
The clouds apart
Only the branches to hold
The tree from lightening stroke....

Thank you Ramalingam. I do not know but her flow in her english poems is quite natural as a stream I did not encourage her in ger school and college period.Now only I began to encourage her after my finding my poetry again. Anyway as you know it should come from the individuals concerned.

This is not the way of thanking in one line.You should write in more words to explain in depth about the rising of the poem from your angle besides acknowledging and grasping the higher literary experiences from them for your growth.

Poems do come only like that and but happen to be the original work of the creators concerned with their own lines ; their own language and style. Maintain it with your existing individuality and talent.

Anandhi! Inspiration from great works is a good beginning. In course of time a distinct individual style will evolve in your mind even without your consent. I sincerely feel that process is already on. My best wishes!

BEAUTY

Beauty In the cradle of my heart I bore her To swim across the oceans Of no ends, with love. When she was a baby In the arms of her mom I shut neighbour's eyes Upon the iron of my soul. When she reached ten I rose to awaken her spirits To free her from Fears of devil. As she reached teens I thought to teach The weapon of self To defend her from bad. When she was married I cried like a beggar Of not to leave my heart Barren of all that I saved until then. When I saw her little one With reflection of my own As love lasts forever In all the beauty I lay...      S ANANDHI       17/04/20

CHALLENGES(Damsel)

CHALLENGES(Damsel) I met an eye giving hopes for truth Heart being so pure to shine Mind so willing to accept the challenge Living with carefull charms Seeking virtues and doing no harms She is a blessed child Respected by her parents and kin Making friends only with selected some Who she thinks would admire her all along She depends upon God for everything Then she is sure to get everything Her politics with the outside world Does not obstruct her in any ways Being polite is her role to choose To keep one and all happy    S ANANDHI      19/05/20
