Wit has originated from an old English term wit, which means “to know.” It is a literary device used to make the readers laugh. Alexander Pope’s “The Rape of the Lock” is a witty satire that gives his readers an amusing picture of the ladies of his time.
Say what strange motive, goddess! could compel
A well-bred lord to assault a gentle belle?
O say what stranger cause, yet unexplored,
Could make a gentle belle reject a lord?
In tasks so bold, can little men engage?
And in soft bosoms dwells such mighty rage?”
- Canto-I, The Rape of the Lock by Alexander Pope
By Maryam Arif
A piece of cake,
Thrown to the enemy,
As a peace agreement,
So the jungle watches,
The crow sings so slow,
The new era of friendship and trust,
Of the fox and crow,
Everyone loves the show,
Jungle praises the fox’s generosity,
Monkey thrums with curiosity,
Cheers here and there,
Flight of the birds really made clear,
A new beginning of love,
Always accepted by the dove,
The fox smiles on the agreement.
By Laiba Muhammad Aamir
That love made me daring
Yours coward
That was unexpected
Yours more than expected
That, nothing to lose
This, too much
By Ayesha Malik
The clouds are spread pointed
Like kites filling up the sky
Each little flake illuminates
The tiny shards suggestive
Of powerful strokes shaping
Each moment of our lives
Laminating the solemn moon
With hues light, deep and blue
So fills up the canvas
Little by little into a whole
Complete, the word betrays
How perfectly it portrays
The contrast between chaos and calm
Discord racing into a balm
Of harmony amongst anarchy
Slowly shaping a beautiful story.
By Muhammad Shahab
O love...
the dark and deep
core to perpend.
Feelings thicken, and sleep
flies as though it were a hummingbird.
Trials and feats scuffle in
the dark and deep.
You... besotted me,
I think it will end,
but end is the new beginning
of the dark and deep.
