Best Reptile Poems

Die reptiel vrou
Het my alweer geflous 
Met my gedeel, haarself ontbloot, 
en toe
Die bitter gif gespoeg

Dit vloei uit my bors uit, deur my are
Verander my bloed - haar bloed
Word swart, taai, en koud
Soos haar hart

The reptile woman
Has fooled me again
Shared with me, exposed...

Spineless behaviour, walks on mud and leaves no foot prints
the creator’s puzzle, only unravels through difficult hints
existing as one of morality’s abandoned orphans
bladder is always full but preserved for subsequent plans
the streets are in tears, the atmosphere judges
in the suites of his doings, embarrassment lodges
competes...

The Legless Reptile 
The ruin made of stones ended up a home, rock by rock rebuilt 
on a hillside overlooking a valley of gentle dreams and orchids 
 so rare they only grow here. The man of the house had 
a boa constrictor, in the...

My mind 
Slow
Reptilian 
Today
What I am

Light 
Inch forward
Survival 

Only now
No tomorrow
Nothing
To think...

Awards night, my corporate boss thought this up,
     with dinner, cash and chairman's gilded cup
So as awardee, they shacked me up in a Hongkong
     five-star where I truly felt like some superstar

Living in Mom's shadow
Deserve hate?
Critiquing parent

Fear, pain
Even aware?
What sin?
Jesus somewhere!
Voices suggesting paranoia

Who am I - please answer!...

Romping on the reptile,
Drives me wild.
Playing hide the lizard,
With you.
Cures me from the blues.
Ascending and descending 
On your dark anaconda
Is a workout
Harder than video’s from
Jane Fonda.
Slicking your lizard 
With my mouth or my cushy
Makes me know
That you’re no wussy
You’re a strong, sexy man 
With my...

Dragon is under “D,”
Next to “E,”
There on the page he’ll stay—
“Myth,” you say.

Obsolete lizard?  No!
Dragons grow
Dinosaur-large, in you:
Dream them, true....

I am turtle
and I roam.
From town to town,
carry my home,
upon my back
and that’s a fact.

A more patient creature
you’ll not see;
my best feature,
is to patient, be.
I take my time
and always arrive.

An world observer,
with great fervor;
I’ll always arrive
when disaster strikes;
with my house on my back
and emergency packs.

On the twelve days of Christmas, West Texas gave to me
	twelve tarantulas creepin’,
		eleven javelinas diggin’,
		ten jack rabbits jumpin’,
		nine skunks a stinkin’,
		eight mantis prayin’,
		seven snakes swimmin’,
		six mountain lions,
	five sunny days,
		four mockingbirds, 
		three hoary bats,
		two horned toads,
	and a cowbird in a mesquite tree.

One day, Myopic Milo; went slithering across the street; and met with some misfortune; as a car, he tried to greet.

It really sent him flying; that half-blind, water snake; so to a chiropractor; a visit he would make.

Into Dr. Juneau’s office; his kinked-up body crawled;...

Sluggish swamp water seeps through cypress knee
Looking for the reclusive crocodiles now infesting,
Our air boat skims along the edge of Okeefenochee
Where we spy a prehistoric-like alligator ingesting
What appears to be an unwary otter or fox squirrel
Our guide points out a log laden with sunning turtles
With...

Lizards are lazing here and there.
Kids enjoy the water sprayer.
	Crows're hopping 'round
	across burning ground.
Please soon end this summer affair!

Today John McDain
Is in bad pain
The sirens could kill
But he escaped it, he will

He's at the doctor,
Who'll give him meds
And maybe just some
Comfortable beds

"There's something in his head."
The old, frail doctor said. 
"I can't find out what it is."
But what about the scarlet liz?

He looked...
