of Kanthapura- 'And that day (sister?), my heart beat like a drum'. I liked the discussion we had on end-rhyme and internal rhymes. I was reading some of ancient Tamil poetry, and I hope I don't bore you by quoting some of it. The rhyme pattern falls on the first word of the line and not at the end, and the poems are chain verse.
KaNNINul siruthambinal kattunna panniya perumayan ennapanil, naNNI then Kurukoor nambi endra kaal aNNAiykkum amudhoorum eNNAVUKKE. The second stanza goes- NAAVINAAL navitri inbameithinen. I have capitalised the rhymes and the chain words. I am yet to figure out what metrical pattern it follows. I don't know the meaning of the verse , but it is a 'pasuram' by Madhurakavi Alvar. ------------------------ Yahoo!
