96 ‘Frog and Nightingale'-a short poem

 

Here is a story ‘Frog and Nightingale

Written by renowned poet Vikram Seth

Rounding about two characters  is value based.

Strongly  ideological and many themes  pervade.

One is tricky,continues to manipulate

Other is quite simple,easy to dominate

.

This is the world of manipulation

Totally are misfit , weak in calculation.

Here Go-getters elbow their way to the fore-front.

The shy and timid fail to put their foot down.

A frog was having though  croacking voice

 Became rich due to his crafty-choice

Laughs and mocks

Calls melodious Nightingale brainless bird

Who blindly followed his every  word

People who haven”t  faith and confidence

Remain nervous and prone to influence

Howsoever are they talented,

They become tree-like deciduous.

Always have faith in yourself

Keep on motivating yourself

Otherwise steps of success,you can"t mount

There are many to push you down
