In a forest during the night.

Ripe and sweet Mango fruits
                   Sparkle in the moonlight
                  Like glittering gold cakes
               Scintillate in the denser woods;

           The Squirrels with tails bent upwards
              which are always agile and alert
              Search out for the choice fruits
              and taking them taste in plenty;

         Lo! The coconut trees that turn their heads
                Look like bewildering demons
           Oh! The sparrows sit in their branches
            Make them move like swinging benches!

               See! The ugly and blinking owls
          Which come from the Banyan trees’ holes
        Sit in the branches and scream thro’ the trees
         Watching vigilantly the forest in the night!

    Good contrast

    Laugh and the world laughs with you
    Screem and you screem alone
    Like the outcast owl
    Is our earth
    Full of mirth
    Or ominous
    Like the nocturnal creature
    The owl????
