Reptile

My mind 
Slow
Reptilian 
Today
What I am

Light 
Inch forward
Survival 

Only now
No tomorrow
Nothing
To think

A powerful catch on the primitive. Beautiful. One of my disciplines is biology, and I rejoyce when art and science blend.

Corinne, this is great! How good to find a real poet...ummm, poetess? As regards Artemis...I could care less what your sexual preference is. all I know is I want to communicate with someone having sensitivity and intelligence. The poem is out of a chap book of mine..."The Sibyl," is strictly a point of view, not a condemnation. Love, daver

The feelings within are clear and the title suits the contents so very well making for a very good write. Michael
