Here are some extracts from her book of Poems:-

Somewhere near the magnanimous sea
Whispering goes on about you and me.....

This slightly cloudy evening sky
Memories of someone passing by.....

Waves of water
Fighting each other
Then they all give up
Stay in the water......

Like air you are everywhere
Like mountain I stand alone......

I love tomatoes
You love grapes.....
You and me are
Diagonally opposite
Yet we stick together
Talk of our spirit and grit......

Life is a loan
From the time bank
This body is on rent
Till the boat sank.......
