Vish Khopra विषखोपड़ा A Monitor Lizard) Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Vish Khopra विषखोपड़ा A Monitor Lizard)

Rating: 4.6


When a monitor lizard bit the tree
A branch was broken and turned free
Free of poison of reptiles
Free for laughter and smiles
It firmly stands and it is carefree.

The lizard is alive and active there
And poisonous hot winds we feel here
Its love to encounter hate
May it change the fate!
Besides the lizard, see a bird somewhere.

Listen to the song of the dove
Ignore lizard for the sake of love
Her wings are so colorful
And she is truly beautiful
Million kisses through clouds flying up above!

Love encounters hate. We hear song of Dove and her wings are really beautiful. She beautifully flies in sky in cloud above. Starting the poem with biting of a monitor lizard is really very amazing. This is excellently penned...10

'Its love to encounter hate' A stark contrast is drawn between the lizard... the agent of hate and the dove, the agent of love!

Brilliant and clever write. A unique presentation of two contrasting themes, love and hate. Yes, love overrules hate. Love conquers all. The last stanza echoes a very important message. Very inspiring.10
