The Elephant Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Huge and gigantic,
Tall and magnificent,
Heavily-bodied and weighty,
The elephant in the gait of its own,
Just like a mountain block
Tumbling,
The hill shining blue
Against the sunshine.

Four-footed and bulky-bodied,
Trumpeted and tusked,
With the big ear drums
Like the palm leaf hand fans,
The eyes big and bulging,
The plantain-legged elephant
Going the way.

The beast of the wild,
Shaking the ears,
Waving the trunk
Like a snail in movement,
The trunk shrinking,
Played with
And moved up.

The elephant going
Like a chunk of stone
Blackly,
A rock tumbling,
With the plantain-shaped legs
Slow in movement
But wildly and bestial.

A brute of he wild
It is huge and gigantic,
Wild and heavy,
Going slowly,
Uprooting the branches
Of the trees,
Taking the leaves.

The elephant
Uprooting and crushing
Is not easily to be taken,
Sucking and soaking water
Through the trunk
Like a small water pump set
And spraying over.

An animal of the wilds and forests,
It is better to be in jungles
Rather than in towns and cities,
Huge and gigantic,
Magnificent and weighty enough,
Bulging and bulky-bodied,
The elephant going its way.

Do not disturb its way
Otherwise it will disrupt you,
Leave the talks of the tamed elephants,
The wild elephants wreak havoc,
Go on a rampage and can destroy,
Break houses, destroy crops,
The tamed ones too go on rampage
And kill sometimes.
