He sought revenge through fire
Over a withered mortal’s true path.
Patience slithered in his desire
To not avenge, but to bring wrath.

Wilting Leaf

"The wilting leaf aches now for the drops that once caressed its waxy surface as 
they slithered down in fury propelled by the rainstorm."

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
Form: Limerick

Sir Punt

The Garden of Eden had a snake
That slithered around when on the make
It found that Eve
Fit like a sleeve
'til Adam's apple snagged the mistake

Untitled #75 / No Other Viper

There’s no other viper in the world like her
and when she bit me she slithered off
now I know I’ll have to let the venom run its course,
for her fangs are the only remedy.

The slimy snail

The snail slowly slithered from the wet grass
Crossed the cracked concrete sidewalk 
leaving a silky slimy slender trail of mucus
carrying a shatterable shell as its shield.

Vanishing

I moved the shelves to clean behind,
Tidying my thoughts –
A sliver of lizard slithered out.

As I stepped aside
The lizard slipped in the gap again,
Its copper body
Vanishing.

Just When You Thought

just when you thought
you had it pinched
between thumb and forefinger
it squirmed out
slithered into a crevice
leaving a slimy trail behind
taking turns watching
the crack for eyes in the dark

Premium Member On the Edge

The street light shined dimly
Its shallow shadows slithered
The icy covering now bearded
In a five o’clock shadow

His hand faltered
The easel rattled
His brush refocused
On the edge of the wind

Premium Member What Is That In the Trees

Out of the trees slithered a dark shadow.
As it got closer, it transformed into a big cat.
A jaguar with glowing eyes and enormous teeth.
We knew it was too late to run.
Alive to tell the tale?
Not exactly.

Premium Member goblin grabs book

Goblin with greasy hands grabbed my favorite book
Slithered away with it to his favorite smelly nook
The novel will never be the same, it is irritating now
This goblin has ruined every book, I am angry said the cow.

Premium Member Meanwhile, Back in the Garden of Eden

   The Tree of Knowledge said, "Hey, Tree of Life
   I miss that ripped Adam and his sexy wife"
      The snake slithered and he hissed
      The trees vowed, "No more of this!"
   Whoosh! Breeze blew that snake into afterlife

Bygones Is Bygones

Bygones is bygones 
Rights are wrong. 
What an ugly, sick song. 
If your headlong grin and 
sly stare exuded any less 
pomp, your clown-prop nose 
and cherry toothpaste lips 
would have long ago slithered 
away from your paved face.

Abandoned dreams
are standing
neatly stacked
in the drawer

through darkness
accompanied by light
snakes slithered
and
by their stomach salivated all hope

leave them asleep

abandoned dreams are
calmly waiting
hands
to abuse them.

Premium Member Night's Sleeve

I was trapped in a fast-food drive-thru.
From inside the sleeve of night. 
A man with crow eyes violated my blind spot...
Vomited something incoherent straight into my soul.
He then darted toward the car behind me...
Then slithered back into night's sleeve-

Premium Member Where the Voices Disappear

When the autumn zephyr slithered through the whispering canopy,
I walked elated on the shadow trail of trees murmuring in eloquent ecstasy.
Wandering now in mute wasteland I wonder where all the speaking trees gone.

Premium Member snake in my art studio

as I walked out, a snake slithered in
dark with a white stripe and quite thin
neither of my dogs noticed this
snake was silent, I heard no hiss

I gave an involuntary scream
this was reality, no kind of dream
today I am avoiding my studio
where that snake slithered oh so low

Rain

Rain,
came as a train,
it hit the brain,
made it go dizzy,
in swell refrain,
I forgot my pains,
as drops slithered down my window panes,
loved it pouring,
my spirits went soaring,
do you care,
about rains,
I do,
very intensely,
and real heartily,
as it keeps pouring merrily.

Tremble

In the musk of her
thigh shaped valley
of alabaster glaze
lift my head for perfume
unbottleable
her fingers wrapped in my tangle
hold me where you want
Drinking as the desert
gulps the drop
slithered heat
that comes from deep
as light splinters
in your course
and tremors touch my lips

A Funny Rhyme For Kids

ruby the ram
met larry the lamb
to frolic in the fields 
as they would hop
they came to a stop
because they met some eels
they slithered and scurried
and the two friends hurried
because they didn't want to get shocked
they pounced and ran
screamed as fast as they can
and all of the eels flocked

Premium Member Lewis and Clark

They were Meriwether Lewis and William Clark,
Her name was Sacagawea.
On an expedition they did embark
Finding the passage to the sea.

Down the Missouri they traveled, 
Then slithered 'round the Snake River bend.
Rocky Mountain weather and sickness battled;
At the Columbia River they'd end.

Premium Member my busy bathtub drain

green snake poked his head out of the bathtub drain
singing Christmas carols off key, singing a loud refrain
i saw a turtle when Cobra slithered down and away
bear stuck his paw through at the end of the day
i am in no hurry to take a warm relaxing bath now
imagining seeing an inverted muddy hoof of dairy cow

Premium Member Speaking Trees

Whispering autumn zephyr slithered thru’ sagacious canopy, foliage eloquent in vibrant ecstasy, on trail of the trees’ shadow I walked. Frenzied summer dust storm blew away murmur of falling leaves, wandering aimless in mute wasteland I wonder where the speaking trees have gone.

Premium Member Snake Interrupts Honeymoon

I had never been camping in the wild before,
For my husband, a holiday he always did adore,
Wanted to take his wife to explore,
Brushed campside, clean as a kitchen floor,
Visited throne, snake slithered close, camping no more!

My Shape

I hope god spares me
My own misery is enough pain
Family doesn't need to be standing
In the atom bomb rain
The world doesn't need another hole
And neither does my brain..
Faded.. But still of a nice shade
If water splashes on my figure
Ill probably fade away
But ill say its a good day
Slithered down
On the grass in my shape
