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...

Premium Member The Snake
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...

Premium Member THE CLIMBING SNAKE IS BACK
A long gone snake returns today. Slithering around is its way. With this climate warming It’s actively breeding. So check your own space every day. It seems most active in the night And it could bring you quite a fright. But it’s not venomous Which surely is a plus. And it’s afraid of the bright light. ...

Sexy Snake
Yo, listen up, let me share a tale, 'Bout Medusa, the Gorgon, with a story to prevail, She was once a human, with a life so fine, But Athena cursed her, and now she's one of a kind. She's got snakes for hair, and a gaze so cold, Can turn you to stone, with a glance, so bold, She's the Sexy...

The morning was painted with a frigid brush The car gargled up a February moon I had the early A.M road all to myself almost A death wish was gaining ground in large chunks together we entered the throat of the black ice snake after a few side-by-side terrorized seconds the red eyes disappeared over an asphalt bluff. I looked for death...
