I am so deathly afraid of snakes. This poem is exactly my fear. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Linda! And I'm with Margaret. I thought about writing my poem about the time I saw a whole bunch of snakes on an unpaved driveway once. I still have a hard time thinking of that moment as real and not some imagined nightmare.
ReplyDeleteWe have run into snakes a couple of times while walking Lucy and at first I thought they were sticks!
ReplyDeleteGood job, Linda. "Shriek" is a great note to end on!
Yup. This I understand. The movie line that most resonated for me was Indiana Jones saying, "Why did it have to be snakes?" Great job, Linda!
ReplyDeleteFun poem Linda, I like the winding shape in your poem and the winding branch that snakes out of the forest. I do like garter snakes and a few others.
ReplyDeleteThis one sent a ssssssshiver up my spine for sssssssure! Thanks, Linda!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could appreciate snakes, but I have a visceral fear of them! I love how you tackled a tetractys for this challenge.
