A snake and a frog
Out of a hole near a pond so small, A baby frog gives a croaky call. But mama frog is nowhere around— A snake lies waiting; dangers abound. The baby frog peeks out of the hole— It knows its fate—no frog would console. With fear, it leaps out into the pond; From there, it finds a way to abscond. It doesn't know snakes...

The Sight of Your Lies
Lord knows the Devil I encountered. Hidden hypocrisy swayed naivety I exuded. Smiling with grace but crossing betrayal behind your back while holding my hand with the other. Delicate melodies of grace strumming along inconspicuous quos while feeding me with Eden’s fruit hung in God’s hand. Mirages of desolated oases surrounded you, A pity fool I became at your wits playing me instead....

The Serpent's Tale
They call us snakes. Evil. Cold blooded. Cruel. Why would you say that when learning someone was diagnosed with a mental disorder that was out of their control? Oh, but right, you hear about it on crime shows and boisterous podcasts, so that makes you a licensed-to-judge therapist. You hear about it in shootings, thievery,...

Premium Member Painted Snake
Aaro stands still and sees a snake among green leaves. What she thinks, she becomes, her eyes wide as new moons. The painted snake moves without moving, its path already chosen. "I can make things real too," whispers Aaro to herself. Each day she plants a thought like a seed in dark soil. Each night she waters it with dreams that never sleep. The snake found its...

SNEAKY SLIMY SLITHERING SERPENTY SNAKE
The sneaky, slimy, slithering, squirming snake silently sat shamefully, Stupendously-stumped. The seated, sizzling, sneaky, slimy, slithering serpent still stupendously-stumped, Squirmed slowly searching signaling scents. With no stopping the squirming, silently-sneaky, slithering, shamefully-stumped serpent searching sign, the snake slithers sizzling surround sound. Only with punishment, the slithering, slimy, silent, shamefully-stumped serpent stops sin-searching. Now, be a bumble bee, buzzling big bumble bubbles...

snake in de grass
Snake in the Grass Smooth with his talk Slipped through the shadows, a snake on the walk. He called me an old fowl laughed in my face Wrote poems about me then left not a trace Said,I wanted wood but let’s tell it right He sparked that fire then fled from the light A man with a stroke in his head His words like riddles half-truths...

Snake Queen
(Verse 1) Old World regal, check the vibes, I'm livin' lavish, Maybach music, oh so classic, like a royal palace. Silk drapes, gold plates, we in a zone of grandeur, Heavy R&B vibes, smooth like a dancer's maneuver. Crown on my head, drippin’ jewels that shine, Opulent aesthetic, yeah, I’m feelin’ so divine. Architecture high, with columns touchin’ the sky, Just like my...

Watch out for that certain snake The person that slithers between moods The person who takes personal issues, using them as ammunition against others Then, around the bend fake niceness ensues It's as if the striking, painful words never happened Back and forth it can go, as he or he hides from truth This snake in the grass knows just where to...

Premium Member Snake Skin
On a woodland path, a near perfect sloughed off snake skin, it scales glistening in bright morning light, its owner somewhere in a new season’s growth. Call it a rite of passage or perhaps it had tired of hauling its old life, with its unpleasant odors, eager to leave it behind for a cleaner one and free to...
