Similes For Convincing The Lover! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Your smile is sometimes so crispy
…like snacks made in Manapparai.
I was looking for your arrival
…by wringing agony in my hands;

After your arrival,
…all my agony has turned to be
So sweet like Palani fruit salad
…Nectar in my palm.

The simple food made of grains
…which I snatched and ate from your
Tiffin box is so sweet like
…sweet made of milk in Srivillipuththur!

You get angry whisk.. whisk..
...I thought you are that ‘brave girl’
After I acquainted with you,
...I came to know that you are
the sweet ground nut cake of Koilpatti!

Your anger is like Sattur made
...Spicy snack which I bite and eat
Crisp.. Crisp..!

I admire your own made lie snacks..
…said by you for your late arrival like
The real specially made ghee snacks
…made in Otacamund!

The eating of briyani made by you
…has made Aminjikkarai into Arcot to me!

If Thirunelveli is your native,
…You are not Halwa of dark shop,
But Halwa of Bright shop!

Your voice smothers
…like butter of UthukkuLi
to our dry speeches
…similar to dried bread!

In the market of
…my similes or comparisons,
Your cheeks resembling mangoes
…has replaced the mangoes of Salem!

As the jack fruit looks with thorns
…on its surface, later offers multiple pulps,
You stare initially, later offer smiles
…For my intentionally said silly jokes!

As and while you come by wearing the saree
…extending freely to the floor
with your hairdo adorned with flowers,
…it is at par with food prepared in Karaikkudi
Supplied onto the full plantain leaf!
