Clive Culverhouse Poet Light Verse

Ode To The Snake

wiry wily 
snakily snake
like a load of spaghetti
all coily not straight

roundy and writhy 
curly with flow
like stringy all knotty
and cotton to sew

a scribble of dribble
all longy in length
and bendy and turny
beginning to end

spirally spiralled 
wriggly and roll
wiggled and wavy
like a zigzaggy pole

snakey and snakile
like an old twisty loop
sinewed and mazy 
or ouroboros hoop

so anyway a snake
a snake anyway
did I mention a snake
I think I did say

Well Inked! - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel Clive Culverhouse September 12, 2024 at 5:17 AM yes, I think I covered the general shape of a snake, thanks for reading Daniel
