Google celebrates the poetic work of Balamani Amma ((July 19, 1909 – September 29, 2004), known as the grandmother of Malayalam literature, with a doodle by an Indian artist on her 113th birthday. As I could gather from her work as reported on the internet, here are a few perceptions written as a non-poem
NON-POEM
Womanhood -
The divine life of transcendence
From bio-physical worldly existence
To extra-ordinary spiritual possibilities
Through evolutionary processes
Of growth as real feminine divine
~*~
Motherhood -
Sweet poetry
Of pious feelings
Born in a kind-loving heart
Jelled with sheer
Joyous musical expressions
Those're profound and elevating
And ecstatic feeling
At the moment of birth of her first child
~*~
Poetry -
Shaping skilfully
The emotional essence of life
Into language art
With insights into realities of human life
Both in the outer world
And inner world
Of self-awareness and freedom
