Red Room Where the Writers Are

The venomous black beetle stung naked patches of
innocuous skin; injecting
paltry vials of its poison,
Was considered a deleterious hazard; had people
swishing at it with entwined
broomsticks,
Yet when the time arrived to sleep; she took refuge in
the dainty petals of
crimson rose.

The alligator revealed its ghastly teeth in the
brilliant sunlight; decimated
the animate and inanimate in its proximity,
Mercilessly slaughtered scores of humans; clusters of
big fish,
Yet when the time arrived to sleep; it took refuge in
the sedately tranquil
waters of the jungle stream.

The multilegged spider entangled innumerable insects
with glow; devouring the
same with tumultuous relish,
Annihilating its prey; submerging it in its piquantly
bitter juice,
Yet when the time arrived to sleep; it took refuge in
the compassionate leaves
of the tree; silken threads of its mesmerizing web.

The mystical reptile slithered stealthily through the
bushes; furtively
pilfering(stealing) the eggs of the mother bird,
Raising its hood high at oblivious trespassers;
striking them with its toxic
fangs,
Yet when the time arrived to sleep; it took refuge in
the immaculate dark
burrows of the nimble ground.

The ruffled grey lizard traversed up the wall at
electric speeds,
Capsizing its prey in a vise like grip; crunching it
viciously in its jaws,
Yet when the time arrived to sleep; it took refuge in
the hollow of the tree;
camouflaged a little by moisture from the soil.

The impeccable little infant cried unrelentingly all
day; banging his tiny
fists in the cradle,
Inundating spotless sheets of cloth; with natural
spray of disdainful
effluent,
Yet when the time arrived to sleep; it took blissful
refuge; nestling within
the warm arms of his mother.

All of us inhabiting the earth inadvertently commit a
plethora of mistakes,
Sometimes not adhering to the sacrosanct norms laid by
society; indignantly
stamping our feet at frugal issues,
Yet when the time arrives to perish from this earth
and sleep; we all take
refuge in the magnanimous shadow of the omniscient
creator.
