Iravil thookkathai kalaitha penne
Ennai konjam kann paradi
Vanthu kavi padadi
Nenjil unnai summakka oru idam kodudi

Thavi thirinthen unnal
Paadi azhainthen unnal
Theadi neghilnthen unnal
Marakka iyallavillai ennal

En kavithaikku karuvaanavazhe
Nee innum vizhikkavillaiya
Azhakin moagam innum unnai vidavizhaiya
Karuppana ennai eatru kolla manam virumbavillaiya
Solladi...........Karisa kaattu poove....

  Hi Subramani, poem rhymings are really good.
  Was realy impressive
  
  The last two lines of the poem
  Azhakin moagam innum unnai vidavizhaiya
  Karuppana ennai eatru kolla manam virumbavillaiya
  
  Could you please elaborate a bit. I feel the crux of the poem lies in the above two lines, please let me know the thoughts you convey by these lines

  Thank u Dhana for u'r comments. The meanings of the last two lines are i'm pointing to the girl's interest and her ego in finding boy friend which are more brighter in skin and not accept me the, black skin men.
  
  Am i cleared it ?

  Another observation:
  
  This poem has already appeared at the Miscellaneous poems thread.
  I think the person who maintains this site has moved all the indivual poems into Miscellaneous poems thread. (You may see your poem there : http://forumhub.com/poems/6100.29706.16.05.05.html) And probably since you didn't find your poem under http://www.forumhub.com/poems/ you have re-posted it. Am I right?
  
  Since this page contains the main categories like English translations of Tamil poems, Original English poems, Kamban, ...... I think it will be better to post individual poems inside any one of these categories and not in the main topics page.

  nakkeeran is right. please post your poems at Misc poems thread. that is the place where others can read and interact. it will be difficult if a thread is started for each poem.
