Wendy Watson Poet Lanterne

Grass Snake

Green
Rippling
Appearance
Sinuous and
Sleek

Scales
Nestle
As tongue flicks
Keen to taste the
Earth

Noel Flater March 25, 2019 at 12:11 PM creative, I've never written like this, may be I'll give it a try Wendy Watson April 5, 2019 at 3:40 PM Thank you,Noel. Writing alphabetically and within the syllable count was harder than it would at first appear!

Tom Cunningham March 20, 2019 at 2:59 AM Well written Wendy, still tweaking as not the easiest form I've found. Tom Wendy Watson April 5, 2019 at 3:41 PM Thank you as always for your feedback,Tom. I thought yours was great!

Caren Krutsinger March 19, 2019 at 10:22 PM I love snakes, Wendy. I do not bring them into the house, but they do not scare me, nor I them. I am grateful to see a positive poem in their honor. Wendy Watson April 5, 2019 at 3:42 PM I feel a fraud, now, Caren! I am a wimp when it comes to these creatures but was fine just writing about them at a distance!
