The python hung down from the tree,
It hissed and it scared little me,
I gave it a whack,
To make it turn back,
And have someone else for its tea.

If one room of writing I can never leave,
Than faithful I will remain.
Hopeful clown,
Dancing joy in books.
Paint my face with colorful ink,
Scrolls cloth me in bagginess.
Bringing a smile & laughter to overcome the pain,
Everyday living.
Lord,
My Witness indeed.
Looking down from the Heaven.
Lived I did,
Mostly dark moments.

The Burmese python lives in a creek
Far away from cold arctic
His body is colorful mosaic
The beautiful patterns are very sleek 

His patterns are like ones of warriors and knots of Celtic
But in case of this python blue is centric
Like an entry gate to out world...

Act of inspiration wrestle pythons
Research scientists are the primary audience 
ethics and research breakthroughs

bring the beauty, multi-media presentation allows
photographers 
Auto loading service pistol-  long awaited culmination

Brutally overbuilt 
disregard" the request for help 
generally docile  the loudest creatures on earth

Shoot, shovel, and shut-up
collaborators use...

I went to an ‘animal experience’ its something I won’t forget
Sitting there on benches with a canopy to stop us getting wet
The first creature we saw was a giant cockroach – it was sooooo big
We had the chance to hold it I said ‘no way’...

She slithers out of her dress perfectly
like a Ball Python shedding a faded coat of skin.
And her hair floats in slow motion
like astronauts dancing on the moon,
like sun burned autumn leaves letting go of their mother tree,
like a child letting go of a mickey mouse...

Craziest time... 
Under my sheet 
Felt something strange... 
Tickling my feet
 
My wife wasn't there... 
She had slept at her momma's 
So I knew it wasn't her... 
That had crawled up my pajamas

I froze for a moment... 
Lay stiff like a board 
Then I jumped...

silent but deadly
a python in high grasses

Ten foot python log then? Well that is a mirror for the senses. First to arrive is a late morning whilst a skipping rope can traverse many waving beams. Travesty when using a pillow. Engrained in a pickle at ninety six degrees. Unfathomable by a...

It’s not a love that’s creeping in her sleep.
Though wounding kisses wake her up, her
worn-out body – an old Indian make – resists.
She grabs its head as it twists around her – 
both are tough fighters – loser will lose life. 

The fray on her...

That summer night we raised our tent
   beneath the moonlit, star-filled sky.
A day of hiking we had spent
   along Australian trails nearby.

All settled in, did not take long-
   exhausted from the rugged hike,
to fall asleep with nature's song

If you feel too dejected to talk,
are alone and feel dull as a rock,
try to be at your ease,
imitate Mr. Cleese:
raise your legs for the silliest walk....

CRYPTIC CALLS:
i
The night called out to him
A man of plane fleet
Gloved in illusion of machete and strength
To beat out from the web of sleep
And answer the howling cryptic calls:

Cryptic calls of hooting owls and chirping crickets
Cryptic calls with lurid eyes of a marauder
A marauder in...
