It looks like some people are unhappy about Telugu poems
with mostly or all English words in it. Well, I wrote
one (not two) for fun but I don't really enjoy them either in the
strict literary sense. We don't expect these poems to live long but
occasionally we may have a good laugh.

To add a gimmick or trick in a poem for entertainment
is an old practice. It is usually by self-imposition of more rules
rather than parting with existing rules. Breaking the
rules is not really entertaining. yatulu, prAsalu vadali rAyaDam
konta pAta vishayamInA adi iTuvanTidE. Sometimes it is difficulty,
but sometimes it is deliberate. I am not familiar with
Michael Suman Dutt's work but several years ago, I have seen
some well-written vRttamulu (GOF according to Ramakrishna)
without prAsa and yati. It doesn't appeal even as an experiment.
