Evil Beheld

Graceful strength,
Limber force,
Image of fear,
Sliding torque.
So it glides,
Above the ground,
Scarcely touching,
Without a sound.
Blotched in greens,
Powerfully held,
Your beauty screams,
“Evil beheld.”

  1. Really good! Gen.3 is the inspiration, I presume?

  2. Actually, one of the snakes we used to have in Canyon. A beautiful little Great Plains Rat Snake. That and the whole Genesis terrible-rap-these-critters-have-gotten-ever-since thing.
