CM
Karunanidhi's
poetic
sense
is
well
known.
His
poems
are
regularly
featured
in
Murasoli,
the
morning
daily.
His
poetry
has
an
audience
among
Tamilians,
especially
tamilian
politicians.
He
is
known
to
use
his
poetry
to
hit
out
at
his
detractors.
Most
of
the
time
the
focus
of
his
poems
are
his
political
enemies.
It
very
rare
for
him
to
actually
write
a
poem
in
praise
of
another
person.
Superstar
Rajinikanth
is
one
of
the
few
people
who
have
been
bestowed
that
honour.
Just
like
he
won
over
the
hearts
of
millions
of
people
worldwide
he
has
also
won
over
the
CM's
heart
–
so
much
so
that
Karunanidhi
has
written
a
poem
about
him.
The
poem
talks
about
the
Superstar
saying:
"Rajini
is
a
one-in-a-million
person
that
you'd
find
in
this
world
full
of
selfish
and
jealous
people.
It
is
not
possible
to
fathom
the
kindness
that
Rajini
has
He
is
a
man
of
honesty,
generosity,
good
character
and
is
very
proud
of
his
culture
It
is
my
pleasure
to
know
him
as
a
friend."
Recently
Rajinikanth
watched
a
special
screening
of
the
film
Periyar
at
the
Four
Frames
preview
theatre.
After
watching
the
movie,
he
said
that
he
is
in
awe
of
the
legacy
of
Thanthai
Periyar.
Karunanidhi
also
mentioned
this
in
his
poem
about
the
Superstar.
He
wrote,
"I
am
very
happy
that
Rajini,
the
King
of
Indian
Cinema,
watched
Periyar."
