A feral child adopted by a wolf mother
To the pack of small ones, he became a big brother.
She named him MOWGLI, the FROG.
Surpassing others, he quickly grew up as a top dog.
He was a MAN, different from all other.
This one is for my first love on a man of fictional world. I grew up watching and reading him . I can readย JUNGLE BOOK umpteen times ๐ yes I recently re read it ;). Every time I read it I feel so much of kinship with my MOWGLI. He was surely my dream man ๐ until I learned that he was a fictional character out of a wonderful book ๐
So for you MOWGLI โค
This is in correspondence to Rashmiโs Limerick Poetry challenge for the year 2016, this is my entry for this weekโs challenge
I wrote about Mowgli few months back as part of a contest…happy knowing you keep on re-reading it ๐
