2. Write an analysis for the poem given below.
The snake trying
to escape the pursuing stick,
with sudden curvings of thin
long body. How beautiful
and graceful are his shapes!
He glides through the water away
from the stroke. O let him go
over the water
into the reeds to hide
without hurt. Small and green
he is harmless even to children.
Along the sand
he lay until observed
and chased away, and now
he vanishes in the ripples
among the green slim reeds.

The Snake Trying’ by W.W.E. Ross is a short poem describing a harmless snake struggling to go away. The poetic persona in the poem observes the gracious movement of the snake while disturbed by a person. The poet implores that person to let the snake set free. Moreover, through this poem, the poet tries to give readers a message of showing compassion to the snakes. All snakes aren’t harmful. Even the venomous ones bite a person when it feels unsafe or agitated. So, it’s humans who are responsible for making them feel unsafe. One should appreciate the grace of those beautiful creatures of nature.
