Jan Allison Poet Alliteration

Notes About The Poem

Sally Snake Bites Her Tongue

Sally snake seethed silently
She’d bitten her tongue and it hurt
Sally slowly sidled in the sand dunes -
Unable to speak but alert
The venom it spread through her body
She hissed and cursed in her head
No antidote for the poison within her
Now alas poor Sally snake lies dead

Daniel Turner June 30, 2016 at 3:56 PM I love the subject matter. As you are well aware, if not for snakes we would be over run with rodents and insects. I love your sense of humor, Jan. Jan Allison July 10, 2016 at 12:06 PM So true Daniel - we have rats (or longtails) as they are called on the Island but I have never seen a snake:-) hugs Jan xx
