Little Beige Gecko
Romance in Nature is filled with dancing and singing, and a little color.
~ Poet
A sprightly creature shares my home.
Little beige gecko, oft times green,
regards my porch as if his own.
Many hours he may be seen
from railing to roof, and in between.
My porch, his favored retreat,
filled with ferns and jasmine yellow,
provides his shelter, idyllic and

Strange Sounds
The strangest sounds I never heard
Are from a lizard and a bird -
The quiet voice of the gecko,
A duck’s quack that doesn’t echo.

Random Animal Haikus
a small green gecko
smiling in the palapa
watching everything
arachnids calmly
weave intricate spiderwebs
waiting in shadows
a striped iguana
sunbathing on the smooth rocks
watching the ocean
hermit crabs scuttle
on wet sand, going nowhere,
only moving on

A Beko Chooses Nickname Gecko
Not for prized Wristwatch Seiko
Would I wear a Nick Gecko
And there is a sane Beko
Who could drink to “a Gecko”
And permits us to echo
“Beko is your Wall Gecko”
‘The Nick, no fear, re-echo’
Has Beko goals of Decoy?
In Nick ‘Gecko’ Gold’s Alloy?
Just what is wrong with Beko
And where does this dreams anchor?
Nickname for operation
We watch with admiration
Dwelling

Plotting To Overthrow the Gecko King
The diabolical Geckos were plotting
While our fall leaves were rotting
Yes there was some spotting
On those leaves that were rotting
But this is the crazy most maniacal ridiculous thing
Those Geckos were plotting to overthrow the king
I knew what turmoil this might to our kingdom bring
So I turned traitor and told their plot to the king

Gecko
Mary had a gecko
Its skin was shamrock green
But everywhere that Mary went
It changed its colour scheme
When Mary went to Heaven
Her gecko made the scene
Saint Peter sent them back again
He thought they had gangrene!
So when you get to Heaven
And you need a go-between
Just ask for Mary's gecko
Its the Devil's own routine!

Psychic Woes
Flutters a crocodile gecko his thick-edged tail,
And licks his sticky lips with his twisted tongue;
His eyes ablaze with fire, and in his abdomen,
Rotten corpses stand erect like haunting tombs.
And now - withering thuds of heavy strides
Drown the boulder, the child’s hideout,
And a wretch with a deep cut on his right jaw
Towers,

Gecko
Did you know the Gecko cannot blink ?
No I did not, but it sounds alluring that image
Of a focused lizard reptilian in glorious intent
From hide bound tail to protruding cheeks and jowl
So I blink, too tired to contemplate the enemy who stalks
Unruly neighbor holding night long juice jointed jamborees
Where alcohol steams the atmosphere with its

Moth, Light, Gecko and I
I stared at the ceiling in the dead of the night.
Depressed, devoid of feelings I needed light.
Something in the bulb, palpitating in delight.
Enticing like a siren, flashing colours ignite.
Depressed, devoid of feelings I needed light.
A dribbling Moth I espied, duped by the sight.
Enticing like a siren, flashing colours ignite.
'Stop, wake up you stupid Moth' sadly

Baby Gecko
Baby gecko on the wall
You are so very, very small.
Have you come inside to play?
Or just to pass the time away?
Does your mother know you’re here?
Or is she searching everywhere.
She must be frantic with emotions reeling
While you’re just walking on my ceiling.
If I catch you, and put you out
Will you know your way about?
If you

Geico's Gecko Vs That Other Guy
Wouldn't it be strange if all of a sudden that Allstate Insurance wizard,
Got choked up and began speaking Aussie like unto that little lizard!
Conversely, wouldn't it be mighty odd if the Geico Gecko should,
Elect to speak in those sonorous tones be be understood!
Folks would be perplexed determining if
