1. What does "how beautiful and graceful are his shapes" imply ?
What do you mean by "to escape the pursuing stick" ?
(((Class 9 English poem - Snake Trying)))

Dear student , The poet uses the words ' beautiful and graceful ' to describe the shapes of the snake's body. He uses the words ' small and green ' to describe the snake's size and colour respectively. All these words connote admiration .
The snake is trying to escape an assault on him. He is being chased by a man with a stick in his hand. The snake fears that the man wants to kill him by hitting him with the stick. The snake intends to evade being struck by the stick.
Hope it will help you
Regards ,
