Slipping through the cracks
Seeping into the underground
Slithering through tunnels 
Cyclical inconvenience resurfaces

Crude serpent of oil
Crawfish caught in its black coil
Our earth determined to spoil

at least the serpent could only eat its own tail

                                  not tear itself limb from limb

Cold Blooded

Hissing from the throne
Of an empty ice castle
Cold blooded serpent
Who did a number on you('d)
Send chills down the Reaper's spine

DeMille and Fielder, those we know,
and the sea-serpent, too, fo sho.
I think I'm going to extremes. 
I have Cecils in my dreams.

It Happens

The tenor Sir Randy Longdong
Knew something was dreadfully wrong
When over his belt
A serpent would pelt
The heroine singing her song

Snakes and Ladders

A serpent disturbed in the grass
Slithered up the hose of a lass
But quick as a flash
It made its last dash
A victim of Isle of Man gas

Silencing the Fire

Released from
the inferno
Tongue of Satan
to betray
Saving words
from his fury
Muting the serpent

Professional Crime - Cinquain

Lawyer,
slippery snake,
white collar criminal,
mirror image of thievery,
serpent.

I’m the Prince Charming to your Cinderella
I’ve known it deep in my heart
That no dragon, nor serpent
Nor witch’s potion
Would dare to keep us apart

Its All Greek To Me

A serpent saved Eve from a drouth
Medusa just opened her mouth
But snakes in her hair
How did they get their?
The Devil don't know North from South?
Form: Limerick

Genie Sis

The Devil still plumbs the abysses
But girls know his serpent just hisses
If you really care
Let Eve tell you where
She pisses she misses French kisses!

Eclipse

forgive me
as i scratch your wounds
hard, crawl
through this hollow
no-
silence is a serpent;
tie hearts to stars
(unbeknown
those, too, shall
go).

I Saw Her In Her Garden

I saw her in her garden
Surrounded by juicy fruits
Eve I believed she was
Garden, it was surely Eden
Adam the husband was absent
The serpent  I did not see

Allowance, Allosaur?

Thunder, sound above. Found.
Do we need intellect?
O inner heart, resound!
Grill, gain, and genuflect!
Words of the prophet writ.
The serpent deeply bit...

Dragon Fire

The progressive death knell sounded
  —one final serpent to mount

With excuses now abandoned
  —the dragon’s fire is out

Judith chopped off the head of General Holofernes, saving Israel
     She is a biblical type of Mother Mary
     Who crushes the head of the serpent, saving the Church.

You are my Snow White,
And I am your Prince Charming,
I’ve known it deep in my heart,
That no dragon nor serpent,
Nor witch’s potion,
Would ever dare to keep us apart.

Mine Enemies 2 2k12

Without a second thought, I've painted you
Thereof negativity, thereas dog and serpent;
Out of boiling blooded anger have I judged you,
And judge you I cannot; Hence I repent.

serpent mound

under the serpent mound prudent
demons (NOT monsters) preserve the
nuts and 
endosperm meant for
later day 
postmen to deliver
when the time is
all too convincingly ripe

Coming To Nairobi

Like a lazy patient serpent 
Machines line up to an infinite stretch
Yonder is Nairobi, barely minutes
Away, only if traffic would thaw 
No option but enjoy the engines' hum

Premium Member For Heaven's Snake

Did you know, for Heaven's sake,
last week, I maligned a snake
in a poem that was misguided -
and patently one-sided.  
I now have an affinity 
for the serpent of divinity.
