ssssssssssssssssss

Snakes are long, too long,
even the very short ones.
Rats squeak. Snakes hiss,
like a cat with 16 poison claws.
Snakes slither, side to side, up and down,
a scaley stock market in a bear market.
Never get too close to a snake.
Far enough away is closer than you think.
Snakes can sense you
before you know they are there.
Step carefully.
The ground hides truth from human eyes.

Alice and Jay said...

Blumentopf said...

Me too! I wonder if we have them on the same nights. Something in the way the stars are aligned?

Eileen said...

Oh my! I have those awful dreams, too. I remember having terrible sssnake dreams when I was a child and I still haven't outgrown them.

Blumentopf said...

You poor soul! I have them about large rattlesnakes about to strike or large pools full of slithering snakes headed toward me.

Alice and Jay said...

What sort of "Hook hell" were we exposed to for us all to have these dreams??? I have the rattlesnake and an occasional moccasin and the pools of snakes are sometimes brightly colored. YYYUUUUKKK!!!

Blumentopf said...

Brightly colored ones are completely new to me. You must have gotten an extra dose of that lethal Hook stuff!

Alice and Jay said...

OMG! It is probably a dose of Frances mixed in there.

Blumentopf said...
