Title of Poem: In Sunderbans
The Body of the Poem:
In Sunderbans where tigers roar
Mangroves dense vast surroundings explore
Black stripes sniffed on orange flesh
for succour where to- ever his grouses justified refesh
Danger lurks cautiously guarding his lair, mother Nature in furore!
A timid deer`s gossamer dreams in his patient mouth
That`s how the law defined-somebody`s sunrise and somebody else`s sunset so couth
A second day fuel with a succulent buffalo, a third day duel with a crocodile in nesh
In Sunderbans
There lies in silence a bigger score
A honey farmer in the death row he tore
He picked up a quarrel with the busy bees in their mesh
A new day musing with new enemies afresh
And now a village trail along the Matla river, a new taste flick with albacore
In Sunderbans

Amazing tale told in this versatile verse. So animal die in order to fill stomachs of their predators. What to do god god made our lives like that. Sunrise in place is sun set in another place, a day to us may be night to some others.... gleefully I accept the theme of poem as it is theme of the universe. My friend where did your wonderful poems go. Please I love to read your poems more and more. Please post them if possible my philosophical friend.
