The Snake Trying(W. W. E. Ross)
By: -Nityanandesh Narayan TripathiPGT EnglishJawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya
The snake trying To escape the pursuing stickWith sudden curvings of thin long body. How beautiful And graceful are his shapes!
He glides through the water awayFrom the stroke. O let him goOver the waterInto the reeds to hideWithout hurt. Small and greenHe is harmless even to children.
Along the sandHe lay until observedAnd chased away, and nowHe vanishes in the ripplesAmong the green slim reeds.
