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

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!
