Abstract	Poetry in the digital space is brief but visually expressive. Writers chose the digital platform as they can instantly publish their point of view and receive immediate feedback/criticism. This paper shall discuss about Thinai, a concept from Tamil language which unites landscape, human emotions and social context reimagined in contemporary English poetry within digital spaces. Right from translated Sangam Poetry to modern poetry published online, this study investigates how ecological and emotional mappings of the Thinai landscapes are echoed in the poems. Thinai concept shall bridge the gap between classical tamil poetry with the fluid digital poetry- thus giving a post-colonial study of identity and emotion in the poems from the English language.
