Jungle By Night 1

Jungle by night In the far jungle The big bear of darkness lay Crouched all night on leafy ground. It glared through eyes of Oil lamps of far away huts. When dawn came, it slunk away. 07/Dec/12 Form: Personification in Form ‘Sedoka’( Syllables: 5-7-7, 5-7-7 ) S.Jagathsimhan Nair Motif: Nature For Mary Oliver Rotman

This tickles the kid in me...I see a bear being entertained by the elements of civilization...then, as the morning comes, it's back to his own kind! Nice one, Jag. I missed reading your work...glad I stopped over to read some today! gwendolen
