Reptile

My mind

No tomorrow
Nothing

Viper-

vile venomous vermin
intriguing intertwined insurgent
petulantly promenading  patrol
excruciatingly evil exile
ruthlessly relentless reptile

Turtle

Across a roadside that's fertile
Came this reptile and a hurdle
As he hid in his shell
A nice driver did yell
Just cross the road little turtle

Premium Member Walkin' the Dog

I walked my dog down by the junction
When he had a canine malfunction
He jumped on a snake
A bite he did take
And now he has reptile dysfunction.

The proverbial china shop taurus
Is the brutal reptile Trumposaurus
It has a small brain
And it will inflict pain
By attempting to claw your c_litoris

Lizards are lazing here and there.
Kids enjoy the water sprayer.

Please soon end this summer affair!

A lizard snuck into the house,
So I called out loud to my spouse:
"Come get this green reptile
before the cat goes projectile."
Thank goodness it wasn't a mouse.

Reptile-Rhyme

Dragon is under “D,”
Next to “E,”
There on the page he’ll stay—
“Myth,” you say.

Obsolete lizard?  No!
Dragons grow
Dinosaur-large, in you:
Dream them, true.

Reptile Mom

Living in Mom's shadow
Deserve hate?
Critiquing parent

Fear, pain
Even aware?
What sin?
Jesus somewhere!
Voices suggesting paranoia

Who am I - please answer!

While most view T-Rex as extinct
To a romping reptile Don's linked!
Their shared DNA
Lets the T-Rump say:
We’ll stampede with orders I’ve inked

Premium Member Jaguar

Jet black is the night as
 Jungle feline of stealth
 Jumps on its hapless prey
 Jaws able to crush bones
 Juicy reptile swimming
 Jaguar jumps in water
 Jostling with a caiman

Tiny sea turtle; creeps its way across white beach sands to sea. Newly hatched reptile, learning to swim into his new life; he’s free. One day, he will grow into a very fine loggerhead.

Dinosaur Zone

M-orning twelfth February
E-rases the twilight; 
A-fter the dusk is gone, 
N-ew dawn replaces the
N-ight.

G-o to the Jurassic Park, 
O-ne reptile is left alone; 
M-illion years ago he lived, 
E-njoy the dinosaur
Z-one.

Fast Turtle



River yonder bathe Danica baby subtle

Shampoo and soap ye by Mother Lily gentle

Far from across mom's eyes see

Running reptile must clumsy

Huge, unusual blue-green hump rush gone fast turtle.

Cant Be Trusted

With diamond like skin, she cut me deep with her venomous attitude 
Frustrated at the sound of her voice,
nauseous at the smell of her breath
My blood pressure boils angrily,
turning my head into a tea pot
As she slithers closer to me, my skin begins to crawl
For she is slimy like the wettest reptile
Form: Ode

Pink

Wander
Falter
Ponder
Endless steps down endless corridors 
Dragging heavy slimy soul behind
Through dust & rock & mud

Swampy mossy tangled soul
Full of reptile teeth & corpses of flamingos
Glossy rosy feathers float to the surface
& all they can see
& all they can say is
OOOH 
what a lovely shade of pink

Premium Member Zoo Cafe

ZOO CAFÉ

clicked on the zoo café
nothing less
than a latté
paired with a reptile
yup
a pretty leaf design
in the cream
and a long-tailed lizard

optional tortoise
or cat
i think

i’ll warm up
with a sip
way against
the sill
with a purr-ific
cup
and a felis catus

Silently Move

R-ed beacon March fourteenth
I-s rising above the horizon; 
C-old chill of the wind evades the break of dawn.

E-arly morn has broken, 
D-ark shadows fade away; 
R-ain stops from falling, 
O-ne night turns into day.
S-nake without poison has made
O-ne get into the groove; 
L-imbless scaled reptile
A-ims to silently
M-ove.

Year twenty-twelve According to the Chinese Is year of the dragon Those born with this sign Are free-spirited and fearless The fire of this reptile Is a sign of extreme power. Full of wonders await the future One who is born this year Is greatly infected to a “P” soul mate: PASSIONATE through and through!

Premium Member I Hate Snakes

I hate snakes
with a passion.
Whether...
alive or dead,
poisonous or not.
A ghastly
reptile!
I'm very
fearful
of all snakes
big and small.
The mere sight of them...
really makes my skin crawl.
Ugh!
Again, I hate snakes!

Signaling In Metaphor

I’ve seen it out of the comer of my eye; 
It had no legs and looked to be shinny;
The last time I saw it was on the patio looking like a scrub jay;
I remember a silver napkin ring disappeared that day.
What is it?
Today it looked like a reptile; 
Before it looked like a foul;
And Here come’s pretty blue eyes;
Right behind it all as usual;
What’s going on here anyway?
