The Night of the Scorpion

• This is one of Ezekiel’s first poems.

• The poem is free verse, meaning it does not contain a rhyme scheme.

• This choice adds to the seriousness of the poem’s subject matter and the deadly nature of the story Ezekiel tells.

• The theme of the poem is presented through an incident in which the poet's mother is bitten by a scorpion on a rainy night.

• The villagers on hearing of this unfortunate event come to see her, praying to god and giving all kinds of justifications for her suffering.
