Notes About The Poem

Ophidiphobic Oh Ohpower

Miss Milai murmurs many times to me
Ssshhhh! Snake slithers surreptitiously
Between benches beside your bicycle
My craziest carelessness: catastrophic cry 
Carrying my carriage, ‘then I cuddle

Your note was so funny Leonora. I do understand your fear though. I am not afraid of snakes, but I am afraid of spiders. I act like a complete fool around them if I think they are coming at me. I enjoyed your poem and your cute story that inspired it! Hugs, Connie

:))Thank you so much my very dear poet friend Connie for enjoying my poem/story and especially for sharing some of your precious time to visit my poetry. I appreciate so much and for understanding my Ophidiphobia. I'm not so much afraid of spiders 'coz my younger brother and I used to play with it when we're young. I was bitten by green one and it was so painful but I was fine. :)) More blessings to you dearest friend. TYTYSM!Have a blessed wkend! Hugs!

Hello my dearest sis-friend, Skat! It's so nice to read your comment as I got back home from an eatery nearby. Whew! Thanks God, there was no snake when my friends and I arrived but this time ,got wet by the rain:) It rained instantly during sunshine while we're cycling to the nearby eatery from church. Resting awhile (before taking shower ) while reading your lovely comments and enjoying your lovely visit. My dearest friend-sis, I really hate snake too, the reason why I didn't order yet my fave thai noodles at the eatery a while ago:))) Again, thank you, thank you sooo much. A blessed weekend. Many hugs to you!

Hello my very dear friend, Anne Lise! I was really terrified as well. Here, there are really many trees and plants. So, snakes and many other animals dwell especially birds. They're tame especially the birds. When I told my other thai friends about that huge green snake, they said green ones are not dangerous. So, I just shrugged off my shoulder. But I'm so so scared of snake no matter what they say. I'm so glad to know that there are no snakes in your place. I wish you a wonderful weekend too my dear friend .Thank you, thank you so much for your precious time stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend too! Manhy hugs to you from me!
