Best Alligators Poems

Sebring: long ago
humid heat leaches will
blue lakes and brown swamps
     “Caution Alligators”
transformative sunsets
clockwork storms and
     lightning balls
cactus spine sabotage
fire ants flip flops
alligators eat marshmallows
     from a stick
trees costumed in air plants 
 ...

gun shot alligators

scrambling fall dissolve slo-mo into mosaic pieces scraped together of the fishwife’s sawdust floor
sipping red neon earth quaked insecurity shakes when’ll the next run’s steed come forth
till I happily forge a carthaginian peace with the muses’ universal militia fragmented ragtag band playing on...

The importance of buttons is significant 
Strung out on a thin thread of thought
Through the eye of a needle too small to close
For a camel to go through but why would they?  

In Florida, sex with wild animals is illegal
Porcupines and alligators are not...

Alligators stalk
Water moccasins stay clear
Frogs suddenly still
Old cypress trees water bound
Creaking in the bayou swamp...

Two mighty alligators follow me from the bowels of the swamp
Talking in low voices, but I have dog ears so I catch on.
They are diving me up.
One wants my thighs.
The other is talking about my juicy breasts
Leaving me in no real suspense about what gender...

Amazing alligators antagonize anyone’s annual anteaters
As antelopes arrive at the annual annulment.
Annoying Aunt Amanda alleges all anticipation awful.
As anticipated Abigail Alliwogger assassinates anteaters.
Anointed antonym annihilates Aunt Amanda and abdicates
Amazing alligators announcing annual anteater’s annulment.

The floor is tiled in white and green
Outside the ballet class
Where all the girls run up and down
To make the minutes pass.

Today a new game started - 
Only walk on parts of green
For alligators maybe hiding
In the white, unseen.

The ballerinas hop and jump,
Avoiding floor that's...

Beware from alligators,
A notice board was hanged,
Outside the pond,
And water was very quiet.

I tried to look around,
I haven’t seen any alligator,
But suddenly an animal came,
And bend to drink water.

I have seen a giant alligator,
Attacked on an animal,
But a poor animal has lost his life,
But board...

I always differed
for the sake of semblance.
Feathers did not agree.
You flew away for your sky.

Impatience had killed the defeat
my elixir, the baby sea in my eyes.
Genocide of the figs, unlearning
the sweetness of life.

Yet a white python was hungry.
A heart rendering feat to dig-out
a home after...

In the land of the alligators, pelicans and manatees
Florida takes prisoners from up north and throws away their keys
Once there, they never want to escape back home 
For they love the weather here, where they can always roam. 

They turn old here, if they are...

The Titanic is loading now at the White House dock
     Smiling alligators and crocodiles boarding unaware

  Theirs will be a voyage with no survivors
     The Lord, no Charge d'affaires...

I dreamt about an alligator
- what could that possibly mean?

Am I hoping that a lizard man
will slowly romance me?

Are my desires so primitive, so ancient
that we could come to some arraignment?

Would a silent and cold-blooded lover
be as ??considerate as any other?

Do I long for scaly...
