A brave hunt
A snake made her way
On a monsoon day;
Through the gate crawling
Along the wall hiding
Underneath a stone.
Preethi,my pet noticed
Bow,bow Barked.
In return it spread its hood
Replied Preethi to intend.
Snorting,grunting continued
Relentlessly,
Do you guess no reply
From the snake? Instead
She gave a good counter striking hard.
Ferocious doggy,pawed the earth,
Raising the dust ,sniffed.
Finally ,the snake mesmerized
Doggy and slipped away.
Jacintha Bosco. 2005
