Want a Hug
Want a hug? Accomodating anad willing anaconda asked me.
No thanks, I said, running toward an oak tree.
Emerald boa then lunged to try and get me.
RUN! I yelled to my slower cousin, Little Lee.

Mr Anaconda You Look Fine
Hello Mr. Anaconda
How fit and fine you look this morning!
Have you lost weight? You look terrific!
I am backing away slowly, not rapidly.
Hoping to buy myself a bit more time.
How long does it take five hundred pounds to move?
His big green eyes stare at me, mesmerizing me.
I am terrified. I turn and sprint away.
Not easy in

Weight of An Anaconda
I always figured that the weight of an anaconda was a fabrication.
A nightmare, something an evil book writer made up, to instill terror.
So I looked it up.
And I was wrong.
An anaconda can weigh five hundred pounds.
So now I stay home after dark, because that is her feeding time.
And I stay out of waters

not about to

Boa Constrictor and Anaconda
Boa, Constrictor and Anaconda were out on a slither.
They saw some animals up ahead, yonder, some hither.
I’ll get the baby.
I’ll get the hayseed.
With greedy appetites all three snakes were a quiver.

Obituary For An Anaconda
He did not receive high school education
He did not know the US President, either;
But he was a soloist, par se.
Amen.

Faerie Lies
Joyful faeries twirled and whirled,
Stirring up the leaves and the dead things
From the forest floor.
Also uncovering the giant
Anaconda who promptly
Jumped into fighting mode.
Her head came up swiftly, angrily.
Until she realized it was the faeries.
“I was ready to strike,” she told them.
“Because I did not hear your faerie bells.”
“We left them by the creek,” Head

Another Inner Anaconda
There is a voice in my head, it's filling my soul with dread. I can't fathom what it just said-
For I think it wants me dead...
So I shrink to the back of the room- clenching tightly in my hands- a broom. My paranoia is in control, it has shaken me to the soul. Yet

Anaconda
Age is a snake that takes up residence,
just a small little snake, on your shoulders,
on the day you are born. Your radiance,
your energy and strength match your blunders,
and the viper is kept at bay for a while.
Oh, it marks the mistakes, the broken leg,
mindless anger, and it grows, and with wile,
cinches up like a belt,

Anaconda Heart
Anaconda heart entranced
By tight embraces, quickened glance
Called to midnight by the sound of
Drifters in the moonlight pond
Enter into my domain where
Frozen sheets of lightning rain
Grow up from the ground of prickled pain
Hardly cause for concern
I'm the invisible link to you
Just enough of nothing to prove
Kiss of constriction, heart on the move
Love like a losing battle
Mist
