Grass Snake

Green
Rippling
Appearance
Sinuous and
Sleek

Scales
Nestle
As tongue flicks
Keen to taste the
Earth

Noel Flater Date: 3/25/2019 12:11:00 PM creative, I've never written like this, may be I'll give it a try Login to Reply Wendy Watson Date: 4/5/2019 3:40:00 PM Thank you,Noel. Writing alphabetically and within the syllable count was harder than it would at first appear!

Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/19/2019 10:22:00 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.
