Nobody’s Edge කියන බ්ලොග් අඩවිය හරහා මම ආවේ. මේ ලියන්නේ මංජුල වෙඩිවර්ධන යැයි මට සිතුනා. බත්තලංගුණ්ඩුව මා රසවිඳි පොතක්, ඇහි පිල්ලමක් යට ටෙලිනාට්‍යත් නරඹා තිබෙනවා. නමුත් මා කැමති ඔබ කවියෙක් ලෙස දකින්නයි. ඔබගේ පොත් සොයා ගැනීමට මා කීප වතාවක් උත්සහ කලත් විදේශයක සිටින මට එය තරමක් අපහසුයි. බොහෝ පොත් කඩ වල මේ පොත් නැහැ.
ඔබගේ නිර්මාණ බ්ලොගයක් තුලින් රස විඳින්න ලැබීන ගැන ඉතාම සතුටුයි.
I am really impressed by your thoughts and attitudes. congrats Manjula !

With love
Derrick.
Mu humble attempt to translate your wondeful poem:
Fraudsters and thieves
I throw at you like stones
My poems that are no flowers
For making a hole that stinks
Of my country that smelled like flowers
This was done only for the purpose of my overseas friends to appreciate your poems. All the best!
Superb bro
