Eats bugs, but not very often
Where’s the beard?
It has no hair...

scaly spine breaching dark waves….
towards peril he braves...

Scarcely seen during blizzards
Scaly green lizards

It is the home
to all two-legged, four-legged,
scaly, and crawlers.

It is the only element
where water, fire
and air assemble,
creating the rhythm
of life.......

Ate at a fish and chips restaurant today
Love fish and chips could eat 'em every day
Only problem is
I get a scaly blemish
Must keep tiny hook-shaped thingies at bay...

Swimming around in the open sea,
wouldn't that be..
beautiful?!
Having only fins for feet,
no defeat!
Being colorful, being so scaly.
Swimming around in the open sea,
wouldn't that be?...

Flipping,
flopping,
flashes of blue,
fish school.

Sunlight shines from the surface
showing scaly faces,
subtle currents flow,
swimming with fluttering fins,
fish nibble food from below....

i have several feet

stinky feet
dry feet
sweaty feet
scaly feet
aching feet
flat feet
and barking dog-tired feet

it just does not seem right
that they are all attached
to the same toes...

Big Feet
Little Feet
Nasty; stinky; scaly feet

Dancing feet
Pacing feet
Her feet; his feet; yours and My feet

Stomping feet
Running feet
Hopping ; skipping; Bare feet.

Feet! Feet! Feet!...

Slip through the cracks of the jungle,
Crawl onto the innocent,
Slither through the liquid,
Scaly snake of folklore tales.
Maim and kill the men,
Of which God made first,
They'll kill the Lion/Dragon,
Before the next verse....

I've pictured myself in the woods with the
tall trees,
sparkling lakes,
crumbled leaves,
and dirtied flakes.
I've pictured myself swimming in that lake with the
scaly fish,
splash and splish,
and mud and mire
within the water empire....

As the tide rushes
forward, brown -black seaweed strands 
wrap the graceless leg.
 
Silver scaly fish 
catch the glister of the sun
as silken drops of sea

slide off the pallid  
hand lifting to wave to those 
on the retreating shore....

dandelion weed
non fragrant scaly weed spreads
near the multiply

over takes grasses
puff white seedy ball of seeds
blown within the wind

near the multiples
green as grass but not as full
dandelion weed

I woke up with a lizard tail today
Surprised? Not really. I have been in a bad mood for a while
It was scaly but cute
I was in awe of it at first
Until I realized how difficult it is to maneuver around a human toilet
Why me? I said to the cosmos. 
Why is it always me?...

It entered by the backdoor
it entered by the front door
it entered by the window
it has come to stay
the backdoor guest is here
it’s eyes are blue
its fingers full of thorns
its head is metallic
its belly is elastic
its skin is scaly
but carries bags of death
on its back...

I have my grandma’s hands
Polka dotted, wrinkled, silly looking
Skin barely covering the blue veins
There is a snake-like scaly look to them
Plethora of wrinkles and bumps
With a jolt I realize she died at sixty-two
I thought she was old
Brings me to a shocking perspective
As I am seventy-two...

Like a scaly, slithering, serpent
You sneak your way back into my life.
Trying childishly to coaxingly, communicate 
one more time.

I will listen to your tales told.
I will not be pulled in.
I am that not naive.
I’m numb.
I know the hateful and horrible things you do.
Afterall, look what you did to Eve....

Dont look upon me Stork Christ, please!
Scatter! I among the many flee,
Down into the darkened leaves.

Pierced his side, my neighbor's squeak,
Skewered 'long the Holy Beak,
Glory to the chosen Meek!

Feel with relief my scaly coat,
Spared the path of which the Gospels wrote
Cast and gobbled down His throat....

         "and how would you 
            have me tell her"

               her mane iz
                  tatter'd
                    daily
              sheath scaly
           breath atrocious 
              her clothing 
          un-contemporary

                   boss"

Widow witch’s olive elixir all in
mystical bam for scaly itchy old skin
therapeutic in a Halloween way
best skin remedy of all back in the day

widow took out cauldron and gave a chant
wizard brother transmogrified into a teeny ant
other animals disappeared from view
I would not have stayed around, would have you?...

I went to the the zoo just the other day,
and all I saw were the animals at play.
There were,
the big brown bears,
the tangerine tigers,
swinging, swaying monkeys,
the scaly fish underwater,
the black and white penguins,
and a bunch of sweet fair treats entering 
through the bunch of little smiles
whose eyes were gazing
at the zoo animals....
