That Leopard -poem by m k harikumar


That leopard surfaced
First from a textbook.
When there is none to look after,
It is natural for any beast
To go for some make overs.

It is a kind of redemption
For them to be off the paper,
For they need not be scared
Of poets and their verses.
Such ineffectual beasts like these-
Ones with no idea how to feed on grass-
Would be happy moving around
And go describing their times
with the textbooks. Of course,
that is what their pastime is.

Sadly though, our literary critiques
At our abodes of learning
Remind us of these tigers!!!
