Dear all,
I am a great lover of Bharathi. I consider him as one of my gurus in many respects.
I always relish his following lines from his Vasana Kavithaigal.
"Irul enbathu oliyatra thanmai andru;
Irul enbathu miga kuraivana oli".
There is no such thing as darkness. Darkness is nothing but negligible amount of light.
Coming to the point, I am basically a poet who writes only poems that conform to rhythm and harmony (yes, grammar too). But, in 1985, I was asked by one of my friends to write free verses also in Tamil, so that they could be understood by everyone.
This prompted me to write some volumes in this format. Though all may not fit into the definition of poetry as such, I intend to select some good ones among them and wish to post them here, only in their English version. (I do not have the patience to post both the Tamil and English versions).
This is partly due to the demands from some members to avoid posting only in Tamil.
I wish to know the members feedback to this proposal of mine and need their permission too, to go ahead.
Regards,
pannvalan
