S.Jagathsimhan Nair Poet Personification

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.

Gwendolen Song December 22, 2012 at 9:44 AM 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
