(I) Features of unseen poem
(ii) The unseen poem must be short
(iii) Use simple language. For example
I hear a sudden cry of Pain!
There is a rabbit in a snare
Now I hear the cry again
But I cannot kill from where
But I cannot tell from where
He is calling out for aid
Crying on the frightened air,
Making everything afraid
Making everything afraid
Wrinkling up his little face,
And the cry again for aid
And I cannot find the place!
And I cannot find the place
Where his paw is in the same
Little one! Oh little one!
I am searching everywhere.
