ABOUT THE POEM - FRIENDLY BANTER
This is a translated version of an enchanting poetry FRIENDLY BANTER from Tamil literature. This poem is all about what a young friend told the lovesick girl about tracing her missing lover with friendly banter. The friend quips that her lover could not have tunneled into the earth, dived into the skies, or walked on the seas but can definitely be traced when pursued seriously every nook and cranny of the towns and settlements.
FRIENDLY BANTER
He could never have
tunneled into the earth
dived head-on into the skies
or amply ambled on the seas
persistently look for him
doggedly domain after domain
tirelessly town after town
resolutely every nook and cranny
he could never be missing.
(a young friend told the love sick girl about tracing her missing lover with a friendly banter)
