Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

Wide cheeks? Let the hair hide the ears.
Broad forehead? Let the hair spills in front.
Dwarf neck? Let the hair in knot be up.
Lanky figure? Let the hair falls on shoulders.
...

I show my fake smiles
To those I seek,
To those I cling to
To those I fear
...

We are the adivasis,
Those Mundals and Santals,
Who had lived in India
Before Dravidians did,
...

Elizabeth, I fell in love with you,
Without seeing you in person.
Without being born in your days,
With a figure that I carved of you,
...

Silent glances and watchful eyes
Between two opposite genders
In a working place, silently,
Would narrate what it should not,
...

Energy drains away in discomforts.
Pain, fear and anger contribute to it.
Energy conserves well in comforts.
Peace and happiness squarely promote it.
...

Wonder, venture, adventure,
Sports, play, games,
Comedy, humor, satire,
Detective, Violence and on,
...

My father went to school on foot.
I went to school by bicycle.
My son is now going by van.
Are we growing strong or weak?
...

Every woman faces this situation
When she deals with a male companion:
Her heart will struggle between the wish
Not to be harsh to him and the fear
...

We write, with a certain readers in mind.
The targeted audience determines
The tone and the contents of the writing.
The standard of writing might differs.
