Question

what is the poet trying to communicate to The Reader through this poem ? In the night of the scorpion? (in short)​

Answer 1

“ I remember the night my mother

was stung by a scorpion. Ten hours

of steady rain had driven him

to crawl beneath a sack of rice.”

"After twenty hours

it lost its sting.

My mother only said

Thank God the scorpion picked on me

And spared my children." [7] - Nissim Ezekiel
