Poetry Friday: Snakes
September 06, 2019Our poetry challenge this month, from Laura Purdie Salas, was to write a poem comparing something with a snake in 8 lines or less. Because Poetry Friday is hosted this month by Poetry for Children, I was inspired to try writing something fun that I would have liked when I was a kid (not my usual genre).
Also, here’s a snake.
This bull snake was an evacuee from a forest fire in the mountains. My neighbor released it in our yard last year to eat gophers (no obvious effect on the gopher population was ever observed).
Snakes
snakes in your socks snakes in your dreams snakes under rocks snakes in schemes snakes in a jar snakes in the quarry snakes in the stars snakes in allegory
