Notes About The Poem

WEIRD

    A crab is trying to run straight forward ,
    Useless effort ending in sidewise crawl.
    Creature is bound to move sideways, 
     though weird.

   Caterpillar crawling on bamboo pillar
   chews leaves wishing to fly.
   Nature helps to take shelter in cocoon.
    Metamorphosis starts to progress :
    Transformation is complete later or soon.
     Ugly caterpillar comes out
     as beautiful butterfly fluttering wings
     sucking nectar from flower,
     really weird. 

    Tadpole swimming delighted in pool
    wagging tail without fail
   and by nature is herbivore.
   Attaining adulthood, it leaves the tail,
  turning to amphibian frog,
  purely carnivore,
  behaves weird.
