முந்திப் பிறந்த கவிதை: OFFSPRING TENSIONS (1997)
Fathers and mothers
Do love their children –
Differently.
Dissimilar still
If the offspring are
Singularly.
While fathers’ love is
Farsighted and kind –
Productively,
Maternal love is
Indulgent and blind –
Invariably;
And hence that causes
Domestic tensions
Eternally!
