Most of us think that snakes are always poisonous. They are fearsome and symbol of death. The poet does not find all the snakes fearsome and poisonous. He finds beauty in them. In this poem, the poet describes how a snake tries to escape from a stroke. He wishes that the snake does not get hurt and reaches his destination safely.
A small green snake was lying on the sand when someone noticed it. It was a harmless snake. Someone saw it and ran after it with a stick. The snake glided away through the water. It finally vanished in the ripples among the green slim reeds.
