It's Dark in Here
It's Dark in Here - meaning Summary
Humor from Inside Danger
The poem adopts a playful first-person voice who claims to be writing from inside a lion. The speaker apologizes for messy handwriting and explains they got too close to the lion's cage, turning a frightening situation into comic understatement. The repeated line about darkness underscores the cramped, absurd vantage point, making the poem a brief, humorous meditation on danger recast as everyday inconvenience.
Read Complete AnalysesI am writing these poems From inside a lion, And it's rather dark in here. So please excuse the handwriting Which may not be too clear. But this afternoon by the lion's cage I'm afraid I got too near. And I'm writing these lines From inside a lion, And it's rather dark in here.
