Chameleon

at the end knowing the ropes is key opening locked doors positioning your way into view and what a view cool breezes on a sultry afternoon not realizing she's a real chameleon with a coat of many colours a challange to capture as her rapture, rattles around my mind and she's always on my mind wiggling her way through the broken and the pain I hold my candle closer in the rain still lit with a fire burning deep wet t-shirt clinging to my skin you rip yours off and give it up to me

Very romantic. I read somewhere chameleons are reptilian and they run very fast. it is a misconception that chameleons change colors to match their surroundings. A chameleon's skin changes colors in response to its emotions, such as anger or fear, changes in light, temperature or humidity. Females use their colors to accept or reject a suitor.

some spooky similarities with humans...and we all possess that reptilian element. I love the segue between the chameleon and "the coat of many colours"...maybe I should be studying theology, lol. Beautiful poem Agt Schmidt. Joseph'ena de Beauvoir gone all woo woo. No, you got it all wrong, that's "poets" that don't want to be seen....;) M.

A new study has found that chameleons can rapidly change color by adjusting special cells, called iridophore cells, in each layer. The chameleons can change the structural arrangement of the upper cell layer by relaxing or exciting the skin, which leads to a change in color. Their eyes can move independently of each other, enabling them to look in two different directions at once. Chameleons have a full 360-degree view and can focus their eyes quickly and enlarge what they are looking at like a camera lens.

Chameleons are loners. In fact, most of the time females don't want males to even come near them. During the rare moments when the female is willing to be touched, the male will approach for mating. A brighter colored male chameleon is more likely to convince a female to mate than a duller colored male. Changing skin color is an important part of communication among chameleons. Unlike other animals, chameleons continue to grow throughout their lives. As their old skin gets too small, they will shed it in bits and pieces, dissimilar to snakes that shed their skin all at once. At least they are not Velociraptors. They would probably feel very uncomfortable wearing a wet t-shirt and rip it off out of sheer frustration to be naked in their own skin and free. Regards, The Blue Iguana
