Snail

Snail is used as a good example to refer to secluded persons or afraid ones. Does it really feel fear of its existence in this world? It could be seen with a new perspective. It likes to hide itself to safe-guard from dangers. We all are snails when confronted with problems. Like a  snail, we all like to hide and try to save ourselves. Snail too will peep its head one day and seek its wish in a safer way pleasing to it.
Snail 
I feel like a snail, 
Hearing the footsteps of advice. 
It is meant to make me wise, 
But it leaves me in ail. 
They came with their pail, 
Fetching in it full of guise. 
I mused to share their pice,
Then I used to ask, 
why we walk in their trail? 
Why they all start to wail?
Nope, I never like to toss the dice. 
Hopes to get something nice! 
So please cut your grieves like a nail!

"Kathir arukkum kuyil"means a sweet singing bird which reaps the grains.So I can call u a kuyil(kokila).
Vaanampaadi too is a bird known as lover of freedom.
