Indira Renganathan Poems

It's raining outside.Slips out my little thought
To Check if the rain's pouring blue..no it isn't..
Back to its place little thought finds blue bright
Words that make me take a blue breath of relief
...

A cold silent night
Crickets screech from a distance
A song to lull night
...

How long can Sorrow be
Sorrowful highly..?
Unbearable
She fell down into
...

41 Brevity

Brevity is so valuable
Like just that one morsel of food
...

Mother, words will not suffice
Overwhelmed am I thinking of your face
Tears deep from my heart come up
Hiding my eyes from looking you up
...

Lovely pottery
Just for cookery

She bought one
...

Moon
Fell into the pond..
Lily laughed for fun
But moon got shaken
...

Undone wishes give umbrage..
Worry and wrath on stage
Can't afflict umbrage beings stronger
To self but gives worry lowly to distress
...

My brahminism..
Still holding ascetic austerities
Bathed brisk in dark dawn,
Prepared food for the day
...

And in spoonful oil
Kitchen is busy frying
Mustard and lentils two tablespoons each
And chillies hundred grams
...
