The sea is sky-blue and the
sky, sea-blue.
The earth is coconut-brown
and the coconut, earth brown.
The clouds are water-dark and
the water, cloud-dark.
The paddy is grass-green and
the grass, paddy-green.
The valleys are spice- rich
and the spices, valley- rich.
The rivers are lagoon-seeking
and the lagoons, river-seeking.
The rubber is wealth-prone
and the wealth, rubber-prone.
The culture is art-borne and
the arts, culture-borne.
The traditions are style made
and the styles, tradition made.
The rich blur with the poor
and the poor, with the rich.
Education sweeps like monsoon
rain;
Hygiene shines like fountain
water.
Pride surges like the Periyar
in summer.
The people charm the land and
the land, the people.
Men are woman friendly and
women, men friendly.
The land is Kerala, lovely,
lovely, lovely.
May,2007
