Read the following lines from 'Cactus' and answer the questions that follow.
Thorns are my language.
I announce my existence
with a bleeding touch.
Once these thorns were flowers.
I loathe lovers who betray.
Poets have abandoned the deserts
to go back to the gardens.
Only camels remain here, and merchants
who trample my flowers to dust.
1. How does thorns become the language of cactus?
2. Pick out the line which suggests that ‘Cactus once led a comfortable life’.
3. Who does the cactus represent?
4. Why do you think the poets go back to the gardens?
