Snake Poem
By Arthur H
Nothing was out of place,
The sun, glinting rays through the canopy,
Wind barely disturbing the lower fronds,
The deer nuzzling gently at unseen shoots on the forest floor.
The deer pranced silently down the endless road of trees,
As its hoofs go ‘Crunch, Crunch!’
Who has seen such a creature?
Who has seen such beauty?
Nothing noticed the change,
The birds falling silent from their airy vantage points,
Invisible rodents scurrying into invisible holes,
A blade of grass twitching in the absence of a breeze.
Nothing prepared the deer for the strike,
A glimpse of fawn geometry in the corner of its eye,
The irresistible squeeze of the python’s embrace…
And the shoots grew on, unnuzzled.
