"Nallamala Ratnalu,"a book of new form of poetry "nannies"was written by M.A.Gaffar, a retired teacher from uppununtala village, Mahabubnagar in simple and captivating style on touching themes. Some translations of his telugu poems into English.
1) "child labourers
in cotton fields
turning into wicks
school -age children"
2) God is
Omnipresent
still being searched
Everywhere.
3) Tomattoes grown
in tonnes
Broken are
Farmers' spines
4) strange diseases
contagious
Now patent
Jowar bread.
5) stars
Shine in the night
prices
flare up forever
6) In love deep
Fell youth reckless
At the moment of joy
Sent to gallows
