AndAdi –(Hindi -Anth + Adi) where a form / variation/ root of the ending word
of the first line becomes the first word of the next line. This form has been
long in use in Tamizh literature since the Sangam period.
AndAdi can be written composed either as couplets
quatrains or longer pieces.
Her heart
grows restless
Rest is a word from the past
Passing from
childhood has made her truant
Truancy a
badge youth prides
Pridefully she
wore her beauty and youth
Youthful
longings and pleasures she sought
Seekers easily
find recalcitrant love
Love that
thrives on the blood of innocence
Innocence,
the sacrificial lamb of maturity
Mature
though she grew yet she pines for the ravager
Ravaging
lips that plundered her body endlessly
Endless tugs
at her earlobes, restless the serpent explored
Exploring,
his voice grew hoarse, “I love you!” he said
Sayings
have a way of winning tremulous hearts over
Overhead an
angel shed tears as he envisioned her pain
Painful was
the moment when he left without a word
Wordlessly
she watched his indifferent retreat
Retreating
into a shell the girl is now a shadow of herself
Self-destruction
who do the youth seek it out eagerly?
Eager as moths
that rush towards flames hastening their deaths?
