SCRATCHING THE TIGERS BACK
Regrettably, the Tiger is
known for fierce attack
But there are days when the Tiger says.
"Come here and scratch my back."
His moods vary with meals.
At times the Tiger is not
Charged with electricity
His blood isn't that hot.
He feels so lazy that he lazes:
Stavs put, doesn't
go places
His stripes dont blaze
His skin doesn't glow
He feels so lazy that time
And the afternoon and the winter sun turn slow.
Thar autumn evening
When for a moment brief
Light through the leaves
Is itself black-and-gold, black shadow and gold leak
That evening as the sun sinks
You will not think
Of him with fear
And even if you do
The tiger will be on the far bank
As a print of black daggers and gold daggers.
And even if he does enter your dreams,
He will do so softly.
He will not charge
He will not barge
Into your sleep
All he will tell
You is "I am well
Because I lunched well.
I too am made by God.
I am a symbol, I am like you.
Both good and evil dwell
In me too
For good - gold, for evil - black.
Tonight I'll say nothing
You can scratch
my
back."
Keki N Daruwalla

Answer:
An essay is, generally, a piece of writing that gives the author's own argument — but the definition is vague, overlapping with those of a paper, an article, a pamphlet, and a short story. Essays have traditionally been sub-classified as formal and informal
