The Snake

The Snake

   The Snake
            Slithers silently
                       Around the
                            Large tree
                  Edging closer
           and closer
          Until it
                 Can see.
                         Out of what
                                    Seems to be
                                        nowhere  
                                    It engulfs
                         It’s whole Prey
                 Squeezing
             The
 life
               From 
an
                   Unknowing stray.             
                            Stealthily slipping
                                    Around and
                        Again, waiting
                 so patiently
                    for it's next
                        Meal of the day

Out of what
    Seems to be
         nowhere

Despite its seeming simplicity, I think that this is one of your strangest and most mysterious poems to date; something which mirrors the mysterious nature of the snake itself...and the formatting is something of a masterstroke!

You paint a picture which is really quite chilling...with an inherent sense of threat and danger.

Fantastic!!

My Dear Lorna,

The asp soft slithers
It's prey seeks a trees safety
The limbs devour him

Hugs, Peace and Love,
