Meenas PoemsThere was a squeak at the door.
It was a bird at the door.
It pecked on the door.
It was a rap. rapping on the door.
The noise, then slowed down to the core.
It looked strange more and more.
The bird stopped tapping at the door.
It moved away from the door.
It then rose up in a soar.
It flew high up in the fore.
It looked familiar more and more.
The tower yonder is high, very high,
Does it reach the sky?
Nay it tries to go above the sky.
Looks great and very high
The tower looks strong , doubly strong,
Does it surpass the invincible?
Nay ,it attempts to show it is invincible,
Appears solid and very strong.
The tower looks gigantic ,really gigantic,
Does it overshadows the undaunted?
Nay,it puts forth a look undaunted,
Feigns a pose inimitable and gigantic.
The tower is high ,very high,
The tower appears strong ,doubly strong
The tower looks gigantic ,really gigantic,
Will it withstand the test of times?
Will it collapse as years roll by?
( The poem is a metaphorical allusion . Tower designates the snobbish , who feign in vain)
