Listen to poem:

Conical shelled snails,

succulent food of the gods,

best when eaten live,

inches on sides of boulders

facing pounding ocean waves.

Captivating beauty
Covered by a brown coir 
Coarse outside on touching 
Conical bowl inside 
Cup of soft white sweet fruit
Cool sweet water within
Carefully poured in glass...

Cold-blooded reptiles with
Conical teeth, scales, and
Clawed webbed toes, these cunning
Carnivorous creatures 
Capture prey with ease. They
Can kill with strong jaws. Take
Care wading through a swamp!

Are you the sweet bird of my paradise?
Your sunny hues on fluffed wings
Promise warm love in dark hours
You wobble with your soft cuddly breasts 
On the leafy branches bending low 
Round innocent dots with searching looks
Gaze into my eyes through the glass pane
Tapping on it with your little conical beak
Like butter you slip into my open heart
As a cherub's smile into his mother's

dancing to nature's timeless rhythm.

as cheeky chipmunks raid brimming bird feeders.
Some claim I am controversial and invasive,
but I am a beacon of resilience -
a haven for bees and butterflies.
