SUMMARY• K. Sachidananthan creates a new world of poetry based on the sharp
reality of life, poem about a cactus full of thorns and unattractiveness
which is its real power. Cactus is a representative narrative poem
exploring the plight of the marginalized. There is a thirst for establishing
an identity in this world...Cactus and the poet are the same...The pain of
this search for self is the underlying theme of the poem. However there is
also an amalgamation of the contrasting images of desert and garden
which brings in parallelism to the arena. Every human being must have
passed through this state of mind (being lonely) one or the other time in
their lives, which makes this poem all the more important to study in high
school classes. I hope this brings in a therapeutic effect in our
students...Letting them realize that it is a universal phenomenon.
