Glittering white clothes in summer shine.
Crystal clear water shakes dust and stain.
Makes it spotlessly clean, with aroma,
Like a heaven’s ray of light serene.
Uniformed sailors in glistening white.
Marching past, to watch, is a glorious sight.
Glowing art, to create wondrous act.
To keep us all in a harmonious pact.
Wearer of white looks always fine.
To display sheer beauty every time.
Forget not the humble washerman,
Who labours to make the white, sparkle!

Preface (excerpt)
I have a great pleasure in presenting to poets and general readers my second collection of poems “In Golden Moments”. Infact, the selected poems from the entire work was published initially as my first work, “In Golden Times”, with a foreword penned by illustrious Dr.Krishna Srinivas. Dr.Krishna Srinivas had the privilege of going through the consolidated manuscripts, before penning his foreword which has been included in “In Golden Times”
The poems which had formed part of my first work, that is, “In Golden Times”, is now emerging out as “In Golden Moments”. I am fortunate to have associated with ‘Poets foundation’ of Chennai chapter and found occasions to read my poems in its monthly meetings. I got acquainted during poetry workshops with Dr. (Mrs.) S.Radhamani, Prof. of English, Pachaiyappa’s College, Chennai and a poetess in her own right, having published three remarkable works, which has received critical acclaim.
Foreword to In Golden Moments by Dr. (Mrs.) S. Radhamani (excerpt)
S.L. Peeran’s “In Golden Moments” comprising 103 poems indeed is a compendium of his profound observation of so much of wide themes such as Love, Death, Sleep, Penury, Loneliness, Isolation, Ennui, God and Godliness
At a time when materialism is rampant, selfishness is taking luminous proportions, S.L. Peeran, analyses in a lucid manner simultaneously the crude stark realities perpetrated by the stigma of the society on the down-trodden and oppressed;
Life is meaningless for the wretched!
They lack sense and strength to fight or revolt
Multitudes suffer with them, parched
None possesses a will to change or to bolt”
His poems bring to light avidly the poet’s keen sense of observation, which lead to sententious remarks.
……. “But black deeds of evil men, leave no trace”.
On the whole, “In Golden Moments”, with a wider range of themes, with most of the poems in rhyming structure, mostly bereft of imagery, leaves ample testimony to the fact that each and every word in every poem is the best offshoot of his poetic interaction “In Golden Moments”. The book should transcend the barriers of time.
