A Tiger In The Zoo

 

A Tiger in the Zoo 



The poem “A Tiger in the Zoo” is written by Leslie Norris. It describes the sad condition of a tiger kept in a zoo. The tiger is not happy because he is locked in a small cage. He walks slowly with anger, but he is helpless. In his natural life, he should be in the jungle, moving freely, hiding in the grass, and hunting animals. At night, he hears the sound of patrolling cars and looks at the bright stars sadly. Through this poem, the poet shows that wild animals should live freely in nature and should not be kept in cages.


“A Tiger in the Zoo” कविता Leslie Norris द्वारा लिखी गई है। यह कविता चिड़ियाघर में बंद एक बाघ की दुखद स्थिति का वर्णन करती है। बाघ खुश नहीं है क्योंकि वह एक छोटे पिंजरे में बंद है। वह गुस्से के साथ धीरे-धीरे चलता है, लेकिन वह बेबस है। अपने प्राकृतिक जीवन में उसे जंगल में होना चाहिए, जहाँ वह स्वतंत्र रूप से घूम सके, घास में छिप सके और शिकार कर सके। रात में वह गश्त लगाने वाली गाड़ियों की आवाज़ सुनता है और चमकते तारों को उदासी से देखता है। इस कविता के माध्यम से कवि दिखाता है कि जंगली जानवरों को प्रकृति में स्वतंत्र रहना चाहिए और उन्हें पिंजरों में बंद नहीं रखना चाहिए।

  A Photograph by Shirley Toulson               The poetess looks at the cardboard on which there is a childhood photograph of her mother. In the photograph her mother had gone for a sea holiday with two her cousins Betty and Dolly for paddling. Their uncle took a photograph of them. Both the cousins were holding the hands of her mother who was the eldest among the girls. This was before the poetess was born. Her mother would look at the photograph after about twenty to thirty years and laugh nostalagically. Now for the poetess, her mother’s laughter and her sea holiday is a thing of the past. Because her mother died about 12 years ago. The silence of the photograph silences the poetess. She experiences great loss. कवयित्री उस गत्ते (कार्डबोर्ड) को देखती है, जिस पर उसकी माँ के बचपन की एक तस्वीर लगी हुई है। उस तस्वीर में उसकी माँ अपने दो चचेरी बहनों, बेट्टी और डॉली के साथ समुद्र किनारे छुट्टियाँ मनाने गई हुई थी और वे पानी में खेल रही थीं। उनके मामा...
