Notes About The Poem

Written as a love letter for a funny contest by that name

Love Letter

LOVE LETTER

Hello, darling I'd like to say
I want to slither toward you some day
I crawl around blindly seeking to find
A cute little snake girl I can call mine

I crawled to the creek banks just to see
If that little old water moccasin may just be
The one I was seeking as a lady friend
But she hissed at me constantly never to end

 I'm crawling around seeking someone to love
  And when I saw you it was like heaven above
You wiggled so sweetly across a big rotten log
And sneaked up on an unsuspecting frog

When you caught him I knew right then
It was your little heart I had to win
So although this letter may make you giggle
I want you to know that I like your wiggle

So I think I'll just slither over some day
And find out what you might have to say
About you and me finding a hollow tree
And start raising our own little snake family

Written to be funny for a contest I entered.  It took a 4th place win.

Aww oh my lord this is absolutely inspiring for me to go and write some sweet love poem too! I must say the building of compassion towards the end is joyous in feeling. I enjoyed reading this the whole time. Smile on my face. :-)

oh this is ADORABLE, Curtis. YOu did an incredible job with the love letter topic. I was gonna do a true love story I saw on youtube about two different species of animals. I have to try it out but I don't think it can beat this one for cleverness!
