Changampuzha Krishna Pillai (ചങ്ങമ്പുഴ കൃഷ്ണപിള്ള) (11 October 1911 – 17 June 1948) was a celebrated Malayalam poet from Kerala, India, known for his romantic elegy Ramanan (Malayalam: രമണന്‍) which was written in 1936 and sold over 100,000 copies. It is a long pastoral elegy, a play writtern in the form of verse, allegedly based on the life of Changampuzha's friend Edappally Raghavan Pillai. This has also been converted into a movie in 1967. He is credited with bringing poetry to the masses with his simple romantic style. He died of Tuberculosis at a young age of 36. His style influenced the next few generations of Malayalam poetry, notable among them was Vayalar Ramavarma, famous Malayalam lyricist.

"കരയുവാനിടയാകരുതെങ്കിലോ
വിരിയരുതൊരു പൂമൊട്ടു പുഷ്പമായ് ;
വികൃതഭൃംഗക സ്പർശമേൽക്കാതതു
സുകൃതിയായ്ത്തന്നെ ഞെട്ടറ്റുവീഴണം!

കരുണയിത്രമേൽ ദുർല്ലഭവസ്‌തുവായ്
കരുതിയില്ല ഞാനിന്നോളമേതുമേ
കുരരിയെപ്പോൽ ക്കരഞ്ഞു കരഞ്ഞിന്ന-
ദ്ധരയിൽ വാഴുവാനാശിപ്പതില്ല ഞാൻ. "

"ഭരിതവേദനം, നിസ്സാരമായൊരു
ചെറിയ നീർപ്പോള പൊട്ടിത്തകരുകിൽ,
നിയമിതോൽസുകം മുന്നോട്ടു പായുമീ-
നിയതിനിമ്നഗയെന്തിനു നിൽക്കണം ?"
