Fawn and Lizard

There, a tiny, green lizard creeps,
         tell-tale tail dangles 
              glossy green

beneath a leaf, thinks it's hidden,
        pretty much sure that 
               it's unseen.


 A fawn nearby gratefully drinks
   from a glistening pond fresh 
               and clear;

   such graceful creature of art
          with a flea behind 
               its left ear!
