The poems of Mudiarasan" have power, form and variety: they are poignant or lovely in the magical touches of description.
He insists on the nobler life of Man, (shunning the meanness and hypocrisy of the modern civilisation, and hungering to lift the higher ideals of humanity. He is very eager to develop our passion for the growth of our mother tongue " Tamil", without being spoiled by the intrusion of other languages. His poem on Kamban is splendid; his other poems on Death, Tears, Clouds, Peacock, the Heart of Love, Bharathi Dasan etc., are marked by a lucid naturalness of easy poetic movement. His poetic diction is so transparent indeed, and any school boy can enjoy his poetry naturally, without awaiting any kind of explanation from the master. His imagery is effortless, as it is distilled from a certain creative experience of life's lofty tranquillity.
The Muse of Poesy defines the pure function of Tamil Poetry.
