Question

What was the poet in Once upon a Time forgotten and what is his desire?

The poet uses this simile to show that he has forgotten to laugh with real feeling and pleasure. When he laughs he does not laugh with his eyes and heart but only by showing his teeth. The poet has a deep desire to go back to the innocence of childhood. He is dissatisfied with his own changed self.In the poem "Once Upon a Time", the poet has expressed in context of a snake that he has forgotten how to smile and laugh with real feelings and pleasure.
