Best Salamander Poems
SalamanderHe sought the sacred fire for so long
One day it manifested through a song
The flame was small and gentle, as he ran with it
The dark, deserted streets were beautifully lit
He took it home, spoke not a word
Then came the silent whisper, “Ye must be undeterred”
He...

O Salamander(A Dream)
O ripe delicious Salamander
Thou beast-fruit
Thou art mine!
O moving morsel
Dangling sun-blessed on a tree
Perching there so sweetly
How I love thee!
Climbing high, the picker’s hand
Snatches forth to capture
The living fruit?
Greater than the others
Greater than the apple, pear or grape is he,
My Salamander.
O walking melon!
Sit still now...

Salamander OasisOur ripe minds protrude
Waiting to be ripped-
A signal to leave behind
The excess of all other moments
We allow our fallen tails
Re absorption through the ground
Back into the neverending fervor...

Salamander Dance Do Your Holy DanceSalamander dance
Do your Holy dance
Let your praise and the promise
Be your only chance
Predestinate your glance
Look on to the King
Whose mine and yours you sing
Tho, all dogs go to heaven
Even little boys and girls
Judge not be judged by man or bores
Be not caught playing with child...

A Chinese Giant SalamanderI had just finished reading about
The Chinese Giant Salamander
About how they are almost extinct
I must say something in all candor
I may just need a little fiber but
It's hard for me, myself to console
I feel forlorn because I'm afraid
I just flushed one down my...

T SalamanderT Salamander enjoyed local fame
down by the creek, there with her daughter.
Prided herself on her inky black frame,
bathing each day in the cool, brackish water.
She set amphibious cold-blooded hearts
on fire, exploding, through black magic arts.
All in the region knew her name.
The boys from town came...

Ancient SalamanderAn ancient salamander
swam the ocean deep,
scarlet toes,
upon his feet.
Frilly gills were,
floating free;
down into the brine’s
darkest keep.
Stiff finned ridges
upon his back
helped him keep
away attacks.
Undulated through
the waters black,
he was the last one
living of his pack.
Salamander’s getting old;
ancient amphibian with face half black.
Mining crustaceans for...

He was clever but she did not know this in the least.
They walked in silence to a party where she knew the host.
Oh! You brought a black cat! Said the curious ghost.
He is my...
