At girls with boobies that jiggle
But when they look down
They all tend to frown
At men with serpents that wiggle!...

Unveiling the lack of discursive reasoning in the heavens
Not manmade patterns to represent sounds and reasonings...

              peaceful, infinite

was cursed by the matting serpents clan,
Passionate Hera
built his blind era,
Zeus blessed him prophecy with no fan!

among serpents he stays
all serpents vanished
their skeleton unknown
but when squirrel
jumps tree to tree
hunters take off
believing horror serpent

It flows through my veins like hot lava
It seethes in my mind like burning coal
It rips through my flesh like tiny serpents
It's made me the monster I am today...

From Medusa slain,
So the Phoenix grows
From necessary flame.

Ingest your serpents' venom,
Those lessons learned through pain;
Don't wait for death for heaven,
Through your fire be born again....

Never thought I'd be cheering for an iguana but I did
Snakes on Madagascar don't play fair, they're hypocrites
Look cute, by crikey
But really, gorblimey
Ain't the nicest of serpents, eat iguanas and their kids...

longing throat
brew of crapulent
blood
thorns on the roses
warm red soil
infertile
you caress
salt of the ocean
dove of peace ascend
in the snow white
sky
golden serpents dance
to the tune of
prurience
opening petals of love...

masters of fire
create, preserve, destroy
sense of helpless mortality
serpents.

Serious seraphims searched out self-serving serpents.
But serrated silver certainly surpasses serenity.
Sirloin snake steaks seared and served by servants.

three trotting turtles
slowly raise a cloud of dust
neck and neck finish

six hissing serpents
surreptitiously slither
escaping their pasts

three city ground hogs
shaking their "jay-lo" booties
cross against the light

tithes, alms to atone for lies and murder

            politician, shrewd provider

            feeling saved all over

            taxpayers' servile servants

            are but public serpents !...

You 
feed
me from
infancy;
you taught me to walk
so why circumcise my heart mother
your love is like the serpents lie to eve- deceptive
behind these forbidden doors you delivered blow after blow as Cain did Abel
