Mazha (poem)

--by Anila

Amma paranju: penninte youvanam
peythu thornneedunna pemari polennu.

aarthirambippeythu nrithamadumbozhe,
minnalum nadavum kootinundakullu,

peythottu theernnathu pin vangiyal pinne
orkkilla aarume innalathe mazha.

peythu nee aatti thanuppicha bhoomiyil,
nin padamudrakal kanukilla.

puthumazha maril madichu peyyumbozha
bhoomiyum ninne marannu pokum.

athininte aanthara nalathil uravayay
urukum gatha kala harsham smarichu nee.

pakaruka nin theertham, peythu thorum
munp
ee chillu pathrathil aakuvolam.

pinneyee pemari thorukilum,
pazhalla sarthakam ninte janmam.

melle paranju njan: venda namukkini
thadavara theerkkunna chillu pathram.

aval peythu thoratte, than swathanthra
padamoonni narthanam cheythidatte.

thalaruvolam ath thudaratte, bhoomiyk
kulirekum amruthamay peythidatte.

hrithil muzhangatte swathanthrya
spandanam
oduvil nadiyil pathiykkuvolam.

Hm! Another one from the poetess whom I didn't the chance of interacting with. That's ok. But I should admit that i really like the tone in which you express yourself. I can sense the streak of rebellion and candor in your voice. But the good part is that it is in control.

But a good question to you. Why are the modern poets moving away from poetry and concentrating more on expression? In other words, why are the modern artists indulging in expression and moving further away from arts? They don't seem to be interested in the art of their work. They seek art only as a means of expression. Art is a means of expression and I don't have another opinion on that. But art does have a from. Why neglect that? I could have understood it if you were experimenting. But what I see around is a lack in attempting. Anyways... These are just my views. I could be wrong...

Kavitha expressionte bhagamayanu enikku thonniyath. Kaviyude, chilappol samoohathinte thanne vihvalathakal, murivukal oduvil varikalakunnu. Athine art enno expression enno vilayiruthan aakumo? Ithayirunnu kavikk parayuvan ullath. athra mathram alle oro kavithayum?
