Crocodile Poem by Dr. Ramesh Chandra Mukhopadhyaya

I saw a crocodile in the blue deep of the west

It sprang from the alien seas of Antartica

The netherworld seems to be its nest

It was bejewelled all over

I found a lovely lad rushing at it

With a rainbow in his hand

He shot an arrow black and yellow

At the star spangled head of the crocdile

And momently there leaped forth a fountain of light

That flooded the world of sight

The light was something like deep night

Where there is neither moon nor stars
