Lizards
lizards 

black tar sweats, squabbles, shakes in the glare of the ocean of blue.
white light engulfs the sky. 
stealing the heat we grip the ground with our claws.
scan the black tar with our yellow eyes. 
our blood begins to warm.
her hair is melting to soft...

Premium Member The Man Who Loved Lizards
I've always loved lizards, which explains a lot, 
My youth spent exploring what others would not. 
Our days at the park would find me in pursuit
Of speedy blue bellies (in long dry swim suit.)	
A butterfly net I'd adapt for the chase
Or plastic container I grabbed...

Premium Member My Cat Likes Lizards
My cat likes lizards
while I prefer wizards
for breakfast or dinner each day
she also likes frogs 
that are sitting on logs
while I prefer drinking "Cool-aid."

She's just a poor cat 
nothing too wrong with that
even if she likes licking her paws,
I'll keep her my pet 
even when...

Lady Who Wore Her Lizards
There is a man who sits still and counts me numbers ,
He had the nerve to stare me down to put me under ,
such deep eyes of sincerity indeed ,
There was no caution for him deliberately making me crazy ,
i trusted one who i thought...

Warning - Lizards Don'T Smoke
This is a non-smoking area
Lizards keep out
Smoking is bad for your health
Long tongues and swerving bodies are not welcome
Cold blooded creatures beware
Strike matches elsewhere, (California has sanctuary zones)
Surgeon generals are lined up against you
To decapitate your kind, decaffeinate your sodas 
Next on the list are...

The Lizards
When I was a kid
I shook the tail of lizards
To make them tailless!...

Lizards of Galapagos
Lizards of Galapagos

Lizards on Galapagos are large
With appendages going this way and that
Not human in most regards
Iguanas crawl and that’s not all
They dance the Fandango but not the Hula
(In consideration of the rules)
We are happy to report
They eat flesh but not in church
Sex is forbidden...

Lovely, long lizards, 
guardians of the porch.

Indomitable reminders of a time, 
now gone.

Zebra striped and plain, 
all the very same.

All about their business on their way... 
somewhere.

Running to and froe,
the pattern of your passing,
for those that want to know!

Days of splendor in the heat, 
and...

The Lizards
The lizards scamper up and down
The back porch, on the screen,
Their presence part and parcel
Of the landscape, lush and green.

I'm visiting in Florida,
A far cry from the cold,
Although it's pretty warm back home;
At least that's what I'm told.

Vacations should transport you
To what's different and new
Or...

Dinner At the Lizards
Lizard mesmerizes prey
Insect wings are quite fast
Eyes swirling about bulge out
Dinner is but a tongue strike away
Let us pray...

As the Flying Lizards Glide
E-arly light has come out, 
D-ark clouds leave the lane; 
G-ray haze has disappeared, 
A-n amazing beacon denies the 
R-ain.

S-econd March warm Wednesday, 
E-vening chill fades away; 
R-ise of the sun begins, 
R-ed rays brighten the day.
A-s you wake from slumber, 
N-o mist and fog...

They (wife and children) are scared to see it,
As though Dinosaur made another writ;
Hearing its rudely vexatious squealing,
Each found corners feeling unappealing...!

To me it seemed a pet, like dog or cat, 
Though I hated the way on wall it sat;
And when its number increased like...

Premium Member CATERPILLARS AND BABY LIZARDS
If I’m ever filled with dread…feelings of gloom and doom….
I look for new leaves on the trees…and flowers about to bloom.

I greet the stars up in the sky…watch the sun rise on a new day…
I stop and watch baby rabbits in the field as they...
