Little Beige Gecko

Romance in Nature is filled with dancing and singing, and a little color. ~ Poet
A sprightly creature shares my home. Little beige gecko, oft times green, regards my porch as if his own. Many hours he may be seen from railing to roof, and in between. My porch, his favored retreat, filled with ferns and jasmine yellow, provides his shelter, idyllic and neat. He loses his temperament mellow when time to challenge another fellow. At mating time, he struts proudly. Neck swollen, throbbing ruby from red, he swaggers and performs loudly. Prancing around without dread, he becomes the male he sees in his head.
