The British Petroleum
Oil slick
She tightens
The grip
Like a boa constrictor
Surrounding the flesh of
The Mexican Gulf and
From head-to-toe
She swallows
It all
praying seems it is,
preying on moths without a miss,
quick, lethal mantis!
cold, coiled artistry,
ornately hued predator,
boa constrictor!
Music, both sacred and profane,
an elephant in cellophane,
a boa constrictor bowing a cello,
aluminum and lemon Jello -
these are things Ms. Andrews missed
as on her favorite things, she dished.
Boa, Constrictor and Anaconda were out on a slither.
They saw some animals up ahead, yonder, some hither.
I’ll get the baby.
I’ll get the hayseed.
With greedy appetites all three snakes were a quiver.
Like a boa constrictor
Coiling round its prey
Cutting off the blood supply.
Negative emotions slowly
Squeeze out all life.
Agony and anxiety
Ultimately kills hearts.
Life is extinct.
Don't worry yourself to death.
So here's a who's who is the Zoo,
Sue the snake petter, that's who,
She was hugged by the Boa Constrictor,
Who could eat her but only licked her,
And scared it out of her in the loo.
For Linda-Marie's Zany Zoo contest.
Love is the cacophony of life,
the stillness of your lover’s breath in sleep,
the boa constrictor hug of a grandchild,
and the outstretched arms of Christ.

Faraz Ajmal’s A four line poem on what is love poetry contest
Like a boa constrictor
the intimations of mortality
remind me every day
not to take a backwards breath,
to keep my lungs filled
to the deepest point,
be open to the widest possibility,
replace each new disability
with a new ability,
and to rest, aware
that the damnable serpent
never does until
its eaten it's fill.
praying seems it is
preying on moths without miss
quick, lethal mantis
while down there...
cold, coiled artistry
ornately hued predator
boa constrictor
Welcome to the forest of the dreams
It takes great power to turn angel into a demon
Power that is not yours to take
But if you insist
I’ll take your soul
I’ll be the demon
Of your dreams
And your nightmares
Gloves fit tightly around my hand
Boa constrictor takes the life
Phoenix rises from the ashes
I’m the master of your destiny
The true Holy Grail is in the heart
The ultimate meaning
The genesis
Only one that is real
I called her heart she wasn't there
There was no answer anywhere
The lease to say I walked away
Homeward bound
In my soul I am amazed
As my eyes are tear glazed
She was sweet yet hard to greet
With an attitude that was as tight as a squeeze
of a boa constrictor
Does my heart miss her
I think not
She had a non answering heart she just wasn't there
Mine feelings broke, I'm hurt northern one of us cares
