SEP 5, lowcountry outlook (three terse reptilian verses)

TODAY'S POEMS (senryu *) 

LOWCOUNTRY REPTILES #1

choosing limblessness,

snakes and some legless lizards

prefer to slither.

Giorgio Coniglio

LOWCOUNTRY REPTILES #2

discarded rubber 

tire-tread near a Southern pond --

Oops! alligator!

Giorgio Coniglio

LOWCOUNTRY REPTILES #3

a brave anole,

patrolling the boundary

displays his dewlap.

Giorgio Coniglio

* learn more HERE about senryu, a lesser-known Japanese short poem that shares the physical characteristics of haiku (nominally 17 'on' / syllables in three non-rhyming lines), but deals in a satiric or humorous way with human foibles rather than with Nature. 

You can review photos and illustrated herpetologic verses in a wider context by proceeding to 'Verses about Reptiles' (don't worry! no snake-photos)' on the full-service blog 'Edifying Nonsense'.
