Long Snakebite Poems

A lonely rider traversed the sand upon his sturdy mount, 
Beneath a sky so filled with stars that no man might ever count. 

A dangerous dash across open land on a night without a moon,...

Walking up a sandy draw-
Out in the desert land...
An oddity is what I saw,
Have buried in the sand.

“Saddlebags!” is what I thought,
“Dried up, and nearly gone.”
I wondered how they came to be,
Here in the sage...

In the distance a faint light
Paying my respects at a gravesite

During the day light
And the late night
Humans always got something to say right?
Endlessly they fight
Me against them, it's like an orca verse a great white

I'll...

The skin pricked, eyes fill with the tears which instantly vaporize.
The blood, too, stops and the hole is no more seen for its small size.
By no means is the pain so great as to cause...

Just an ounce of that snakebite I took;
I feel better now -- I can write. 

My thoughts are inking out,
oozing out of the dry heart with efforts, 
Like an 'would-be' mother pushing her baby out....

C-heerful September ten
Y-our friends always remember; 
N-ight cold chill has turned
T-o pleasant warm weather.
H-appy September ten
I-s just bringing brighter day; 
A-fter the rain has gone, gray clouds clear the skyway.

J-oyful September ten
A-llows the morn to...

Brown eyes as mysterious as the meaning of life
Purple hair as wild as the blistering winter's wind
Skin as olive as the oak wood's bark
Voice as chilling as the halloweens fright
Rare smiles that creep across her...

dark they were
tanned from a thousand suns
gamma-burned
cross generat'd
double chromosomed
time meant nothing
bled out minutes in a cup
my double stares at me from Mars
etched into sand and time
blur and cast lensatic whoa
sharp telescopic view
panoramic whoopdeedoo
all my light...

Who are you to take my rights
and have me live each day in fright?

We are all born the same in God's delight
why must you be smug materially, while I have to daily fight?

Laws remain the...

SNAKEBITE

Was a day I saw a deer
Running up a hill
On his tail there was a lion
Running faster still

Then I saw a purple bird
Flying in the sky--
Didn’t see the sneaky snake
who bit me in the eye!

Clouds...

I am a snake, I slither around
I slither quite often; fast on the ground
Sometimes I hide inside of a mound
but the land isn't the only place that I can be found

for if you look up...

M-ake it more meaningful, 
A-s you write or say a word; 
R-ighteousness of God
K-ills the sin like a two-edged sword.

L-et it be more meaningful, 
E-very line you recite; 
O-ne serpent's head is pinned, one sheep...
