The Snail And The Tortoise Poem by Vidya Pandarinath

The Snail And The Tortoise

Rating: 4.5


The crawling snail met the idle tortoise

As it fell down a tree, large leaf

Venturing to conquer-its hanging brief,

Beyond its limit and vague choice;

Laughing loud said the latter:

"You are too small for such a feat

"Dream not of what you can not beat

"Nor fancy you would spill and shatter"

The other cocking its sensors said

'Yes I know, but how better are you

'Size apart can not better prove,

'It is the same burden that saves my head

'As you do sans any choice to move

'Wonder how the mankind manage to manoeuvre

'To hide and carry their Sin -tower

' And yet be proud and relentless in all they do! '

Beautiful metaphorical comparison of snail and virtues we crave for. One is not good over other still we see each other to be superior. Well written. Thank-you.
