Your sequin smile dazzles,
shining brightly as cubic zirconium.
Your words drip like a komodo dragons spit,
never allowing emotional wounds to heal.

Black manicured nails rip and shred

Reptile meat got a foul swallow
The creeping things they eat
emit putrid vapors ...
vocal odors lemmings do follow

Falling off the cliff

I'm solitary, roaming 
The American southwest desert;
Heaving my bulky body -
Covered with bead-like scales 
Of black and yellow - 
Across hot sands and rocks
In search of prey.
I'm a nocturnal,
Cold-blooded lizard.
I flick out my forked poisonous...

I‘m not a dog or cat in the area,
I am a carnivore in Africa;

You cannot evade my sharp and tough teeth.

Time's ticking for whooping cranes
wild buffalo and prairie dogs.
For their losses outweigh their gains;
displaced by cattle, sheep, and hogs.

may share the fate of the dodo.
For their lives are now endangered;

Always looks under every stone

Tiny lake like stream reflects staring into it visage

And mention the dinosaur.
He lived two hundred million years
And then was seen no more.
The dino's demise is a mystery
That's hashed and often rehashed here.

Lazing on sun-baked rock
Leisurely flicks out tongue
Lithe critter scurries past
Lightning reflex triggered
Lethal toxins subdue
Loathsome maw rends soft flesh
Luckless prey digested
