The Poet
Territorial and boastful – I’m the frog who owns the tree. Technique was fine, But it
lacked certain force
Patronising – Without proper training …You’ll remain a begnner.
Possessive, greedy – “We must aim for better billings…..”
Arrogant and condescending – “I tried to teach her… a stupid creature”
The Nightingale
Divyanshu Gupta, X- ‘C’
The poem has been told in the style of a story. Starts “ Once upon
a time … then the poem progresses in a definite direction and
finally concludes with the death of the bird.
The manner in which the frog trains the nightingale has been
beautifully described.
The irony is that the creature which doesn’t even know what
music is tries to teach music to a bird like nightingale who
possesses a melodious voice.
